What Guests Are Saying

Slough Creek Campground offers a fantastic location for wildlife enthusiasts, with sightings of bison and bears, and friendly campground hosts enhancing the experience. Many reviewers appreciated the scenic beauty and quiet atmosphere, making it ideal for hiking and exploring nearby Lamar Valley. However, securing a reservation can be challenging due to limited spots, and some sites are close together, which may affect privacy.

The camp host was great, very helpful. The campground was nice and well maintained. Our particular site doesn’t really have a tent pad but we made it work.

The site was beautiful and set up nicely and the campground was quiet in the evenings and early mornings. Plus, such amazing hosts! Charlie and Ginny were helpful, kind, and fun to talk to. I will mention that sites particularly along the creek can have lots of mosquitoes, so come prepared. Also, remember this is a non-generator campsite with very few sites that can be reserved that fit mid to larger rvs, so come prepared with your solar panels if needed and make sure you will fit (worth scoping it out ahead of time if you are able).
