Great fishing spot but quiet time does not mean bed time. This is the only spot we get talked to.

@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #6

Very nice and well-maintained campground. Beautiful setting along the south fork of Clear Creek. The one upgrade that would be helpful is electrical hookups so RV and 5th wheel campers don't feel the need to run generators.

It's good! Great creek to bathe in if you can deal with cold mountain water. No cell service anywhere in Bighorn National Forest. Bring your own drinking water and your hiking boots and be bear aware

Had a great visit. Sites were accessible with 32'RV. Right next to the stream. Mosquitoes are of the championship breed meening they are big. Very accessible for as close to the road. Definitely going back.

Wonderful secluded campground easy access Sites were spread out so you had privacy would recommend this campground to anyone looking

@LANCEDB957D22B · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #9

Beautiful secluded area. The creek was rushing and the vaulted bathrooms were very clean. It was the perfect stay for 2 nights in early June.

@RickW4075177 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #6

It was great! Just Great!

@PatriciaB22981 · Camped on Sep 4, 2023 at Campsite #9

Small, quiet, with Creek. Restrooms freshly painted and very clean.

@SaraP2726429 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #14

This is a really nice campground (we stayed in a tent at a walk in site). Every tent site is really nice, it's all pretty well shaded by nice pines and there was lots of room for the kids to run around. You can see all the other campsites, but the creek was loud enough that we couldn't really hear anyone. I think the vault toilet/bathroom was the cleanest one I've ever used, and the camp hostess was friendly, too.

@DeborahL220263 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #2

Wonderfully quiet campground along a creek. Great Lake just east of the camp for fishing and kayaking

@AndeP83E797429 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #2

Camp host was wonderful, gregarious, and very helpful! We stayed at two sites at South Fork, and both were great. Small campground, not too busy. The walk-in tent sites were nice to get away from the RV generators. Would absolutely camp here again!

@KennethR295800 · Camped on Jun 27, 2023 at Campsite #7

Better signs letting you know you are close to the campground and maybe a physical address for easier navigation via phone maps. Other than that it was a nice campground and clean vault toilet.

@LindaC3432477 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #9

This little campground is now one of my favorites! Very friendly host helped us out when our lighter went dry. River running through the CG drowns out all noise from other campers and their generators (and ours). Big hill in back with scrambling rocks was super fun for me and my cat. Beautiful, secluded area. Hwy 16 was absolutely gorgeous -- I had no idea what was in store for us in the Big Horn NF, but now I will certainly be back.

@BobF7273669 · Camped on Jun 5, 2023 at Campsite #3

Stayed at site #3. Clear creek is just behind the picnic area. Vault toilets close by as well water. Plenty of sun to maintain the batteries via solar panel. Our host Deb was great. Hwy noise was minor and usually jake breaks or Harley's. Will stay here again for sure.

@RickF4493344 · Camped on Sep 5, 2022 at Campsite #3

We stayed at SouthFork Campground (site 003) for one night on our way to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and were very pleased with the experience. Very easy booking on Recreation.gov. Being along side Clear Creek the sound of the rushing water down the embankment was mesmerizing and the tall pines all around was very picturesque. Plenty of rpivacy. The camp Host stopped bye and was very friendly. The nearby vault toilet (just across street) was very clean and the potable water source at the edge of our campsite was very convenient. We setup camp quickly and got a quick 2 mile or so hike in along the creek to the reservoir before dark. Ice and firewood was available for purchase from host 8am-8pm. No showers but that was not a big deal.

@AndyS5016117 · Camped on Aug 30, 2022 at Campsite #9

All perfect👌🏻

@SherryP4008651 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #14

Such a beautiful campground. Well kept. Host is so nice. Always enjoy our stay here.

@DanielG6266400 · Camped on Aug 7, 2022 at Campsite #2

This campground is very clean and well taken care of. The campground host does an excellent job! We were very pleased with our visit and stay.

@JoshuaB6443830 · Camped on Jul 21, 2022 at Campsite #11

Perfect camp site. The 5 tent-only sites were spaced out and very quiet. We drove through several campgrounds on our trip and felt that the South Fork location (both tent-only and traditional sites) was the nicest we found. The campground and toilets were very clean. It is only 20-25 minutes back to Buffalo if you want to re-supply. There is a mile long trail that starts at the tent-only sites and goes to the back side of the Tie Hack Reservoir. Couldn't be happier with our stay.

@JEANNEB9187254 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #3

South Fork--beautiful, clear rushing creek waters, beautiful overhead evergreens, walking access to Gallatin Forest Trails--it's beautiful! Campsites feature wheelchair-accessible tables, flat areas for parking RVs or setting up tents, and there is beautiful shade and very clean restrooms. Highly recommended!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
