I would camp outside the park near cooke city rather than site 12 or 13 at Slough creek. The campground is beautiful, small and remote but for the love of, there is more space between parking spots at Walmart than there is between these two sites, the images don't show these sites basically share a common drive, unless the person in 12 wasn't parked on their spot properly, its ridiculously close for a primitive campground, or any campground. We had a week booked but cancelled after one night because we were so uncomfortably close to the van next to us. I will try this campground again but will pass if 12 or 13 are my only choices in the future.

Always a beautiful place in the fall. However, the campgrounds are very close together. If you're sleeping in your vehicle, you'll likely be right next to another vehicle in the adjacent campground. Also, there is no water available. The pump no longer works.
