Debbie the camp host was awesome. I liked that she checked to make sure people are where they are supposed to be. It was quiet and beautiful, clean. Reservation system was easy to use. Cant wait to go back.

@KellyW1008717 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #1

Campground is great. Camp host was wonderful. Site 1 is NOT a double site. You cannot fit 3 RVs. 4 vehicles if you only tent camp. Two picnic tables and grills does not make it a double site Forest service. We had 2 5x9 small trailers and 2 vehicles. Barely enough room for that and we had to get creative. The picture is misleading.

Quiet campground. Site 3 was away from other sites next to a creek, very peaceful. Due to the altitude, very cool temperature's. No cell service at all.

Stayed one night at this lovely campground with a rushing mountain stream nearby. Campground and restrooms were very clean. Host stopped by to make sure we were getting settled. She was very personable. Had a great overnight stay.

@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful spot. Well maintained. Not many sites at this location, so I imagine reservations are a very good idea. Temps down to mid 40s at night in July, so plan accordingly.

@woutervB74D46C · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #6

Quite a wild area. Spots between a small creek and huge granite boulders. Lots of trees. We liked it a lot but it is pretty enclosed.

@DouglasR824462 · Camped on May 26, 2024 at Campsite #8

This campsite was amazing. Tall beautiful trees and next to a rushing creek. The site itself had plenty of space for a tent and spaced enough from other sites you dont feel like youre on top of your neighbors.

@AmitCF55C120E9 · Camped on Aug 29, 2023 at Campsite #9

One of the best campsites we've ever stayed at in North America. The creek and the area was spectacular.

@WayneP4816009 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #5

Very well maintained campground, well sheltered in a narrow canyon. Site 5 is right next to the creek. Plenty of level space for a tent. Lots of space between sites.

Unless you happen to enjoy hearing generator noise all night long while attempting to camp, I would avoid this site and others managed by Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds in the Bighorns and Beartooths. Besides Middle Fork, we tried Deer Park (same management), and encountered a bizarre policy whereby campers were told to leave bags of trash along the campground loop to await a "host" coming by to pick it up "each morning". No trash containers at Deer Park, but encouragement for wildlife to become garage conditioned.

Secluded, quiet campground next to beautiful mountain stream. Highly recommend,

@MichaelA251288 · Camped on Jul 10, 2023 at Campsite #7

We love this campground!!

@Katherine80258 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #6

We stopped at Bighorn NF on our way to Grand Teton/Yellowstone from Badlands. This area and Middle Fork Campground were absolutely incredible! The campground was impeccably clean, well-run, and gorgeous. We stayed at site 6, which was spacious, shaded, and the babbling water added so much to the experience. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay another night!

@RobJC210D7BF9E · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #5

I had high hopes that this would be a great campsite. I couldn't have imagined how truly beautiful it was. I wish I had known in advance, I would have started much longer than 2 nights. Can't wait to visit again.

@ToniWC19C4630F · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #5

very nice and clean campground. was perfect right by the creek . water was to high for fishing. bathrooms were very clean. we will be back

@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #7

The campground was beautiful and each site had ample room. The host was very nice and seemed to have a handle on everything. Having the creek running through the camp was really nice.

@MaryM8380528 · Camped on Aug 8, 2022 at Campsite #6

Small well maintained campground. Had a riverfront site. Enjoyed our stay very much.

@ArikaV7789106 · Camped on Aug 3, 2022 at Campsite #1

Group site is not big enough for two travel trailers, We ended up renting a second spot. Love the campground and the amenities. Host was very friendly.

@AlanM7819579 · Camped on Jul 30, 2022 at Campsite #5

So nice. Secluded, quiet, and beautiful

@KarlW3517562 · Camped on Jul 30, 2022 at Campsite #9

Great campground!

@Christina25647 · Camped on Jul 18, 2022 at Campsite #6

Lovely campground with a fantastic host, Debbie. Had such a great time and the creek was wonderful to hear as we slept. The campground was very quiet except for some nearby cattle.

@LaneM3792495 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #5

Very quiet place!

@ANGELAL3690656 · Camped on Jun 22, 2022 at Campsite #3

I thought the campground was great! It's right on the river, and I believe each site has river access, which you can fish for brown and brook trouts. There's also a road that leads to a pond at the end, which is a great walk. It was nice and quiet and very peaceful. Mosquitos were a bit of a hassle, but I had a bug shelter that I had put up. If I had to nitpick, the restrooms are a bit far if your site is in the middle of the campground.

@SheriD2823795 · Camped on Jun 3, 2022 at Campsite #5

We had site 5 and it was very nice. Liked that the camp host came to check in with us. The area is very pretty with many places to explore. Restrooms were stocked and clean.

@SusanE319 · Camped on Sep 17, 2021 at Campsite #8

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
