Awesome campground in Lamar Valley. Bison wandered past the tent twice while we were there. The creek is gorgeous for swimming in. Saw wolves and bears feeding together on a bison carcass just down from the campground - a dream come true. Restrooms are spotless but no water - bring your own.

This campground is extremely close to Lamar valley, which is pretty fun. It’s also where all the wolf watchers go to spot wolf packs. We were lucky enough to see a wolf on the other side of the creek.
The campground itself had very nice restrooms and the camp host is super friendly. I would have preferred a site on the creek, but our site was ok. The mosquitos are HORRIBLE!

This was our second time camping in Slough Creek, and it is the only place in the park we’ll camp from now on.
-The camp hosts are friendly, and knowledgeable.
-There are only 16 spots, so it’s not overcrowded & has a strict 10 pm quiet time.
-pit toilets are well maintained, and very clean! During the busy season it was so nice to have a toilet to use that wasn’t disgusting like the ones throughout the park.
-campground itself is by the river, a few sites are close enough to hear the rushing water and it’s so peaceful. It takes no time at all to get to Lamar Valley. We are wolf watchers and follow the Junction Butte pack, so camping in Slough keeps us close to them!
-Black bears frequent the area which is so cool, we saw one near the river this trip!!
-really the only downside is that lots of sites have zero shade. I recommend checking bringing something for shade. Some sites are much smaller than others, and have very close neighbors.
-campground is in the woods but open enough for optimal star gazing.
-all sites are well maintained, camping feels as luxurious as it can.
I could honestly go on forever about how amazing this campground is. Just stay here. You won’t regret it.

Perfect campground, perfect hosts. Site 8 was nice. Never heard from hosts, which is the way it should be. Will be back. Thank you.
