Camp hosts were excellent. I have been staying at this campground for 45 years. The restrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen. They even hang bags to put other things in if you want to throw them away while youre in there. Very good

What a great place to camp. Had the river on one side and cliffs on the other. The night sky was full of stars. And the campground is near everything you need. We loved our stay.
@KevinP4445220 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #62
nice well organized or laid out CG. Clean bathrooms, thank you. Area well maintained.
@WangCF41E859F1 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #59
Loved the view, sounds of the river, and how beautiful and dark the campground is at night so we can enjoy the night sky. The one and only draw back was the car noise from the highway the roaring river couldnt cover.
@CarynM32FE4886 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #39
Great spot to camp. Sites are a bit narrow but length is great. Close to the highway but it quiets down at night. Beautiful river and nice hosts.

Next to the highway with noisy truck traffic.

Campgournd is fine though only two water spigets, one per loop.Uncooperative hosts - would not let me switch to a more suitable site for my rig although there were many (1/2) open sites available. Hosts said "they" (whoever that is) would not like it.

We love this campground. Our site was quite large and allowed us to have our family come over for campfires which we all loved. The proximity of the river was awesome and allowed for peaceful sleeping at night. The pit toilets were maintained well and quite clean. The firewood was very expensive, so I would recommend getting that outside of the campground. We'll be back!
@NancyJ188DEC8C · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #15
Camp host was friendly and outgoing. Site was flat, with ready access to the river right in campground.
@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #14
very accommodating, clean and nice location.
@AdamR8344975 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #49
Beautiful campground. Only advice is that on the north side of the campground the road is marked as a one way loop making some sites impossible to back a bigger trailer into. We have a 30 foot bumper pull and had to turn around and drive the wrong way to get into our site. So check your site ahead of time to see which direction you need to go.

The location of this campsite is incredible for access to Big Sky and Yellowstone. For travelers that want to do more than just visit Yellowstone, this was a great place. Tons of fishing, hiking trails, zip lining/tree adventures, dune buggy rentals, etc. The campsite is right off of the Highway so I could hear car noises but they were faint because the river running the perimeter masks a lot of the noise. The campsite itself had some great spots, and some really tight spots. Look ahead to read reviews about each individual campsite because there was a good deal of variability. Camp hosts were great and drove around with firewood for sale and made themselves available to help if needed. The campsite was sold out when I was there, but didn't feel too busy or crowded where I was. Again, some of the sites were really tight and would be great for several families camping together but might be too close if you wanted more privacy so check individual reviews before you book. I stayed two nights and was happy there. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful area. Make sure to check out the hiking trails all around.
@ConnieS8161405 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #32
bugs were so bad. biting flys.
@LelandB4261121 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #36
Clean and reasonably close to both W. Yellowstone and Big Sky. The site is well maintained by on-site hosts but very busy and near to the highway. Needless to say, it is not the quietest place to camp. But, overall it is one of the better campgrounds in the area of its size.
@PeteAF28D5CEB2 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #34
Site was clean, bathrooms well stocked, host very nice and helpful. Campground was quiet at night.
@JeniferR6BC425 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #16
The campground was very nice, site #16 that we had this trip is by far my favorite. You can see and hear the cars from the highway, but that didnt bother us at all. Close to Yellowstone which made for a fun day trip, the river runs through the campground which is nice for fishing, tubing, or just sitting with your chair in the water.

Red Cliff campground is wonderful. It's the perfect location for fishing and relaxing. The sites with electricity are awesome. The only issue with our three day stay were the camp hosts. It was the absolute worst experience we've ever encountered with hosts. We camp on average about 30 days a year and have interacted with many many hosts and never had a negative experience until our stay at Red Cliff.

My camping time at Red Cliff was very nice.
@AllenF2807865 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #42
Grass not maintained, only nice if your by the creek!
@RobertL7452920 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #5
The property was great. Clean and maintained. The electric hookups are wonderful to have that far up into the forest. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. It was difficult to get cell service, but then again, you are in the forest. We will try a different site that is a bit more open. Hopefully, with our booster, it will work better. This is definitely a go-to spot of ours.
@JeanLucBCB24B6 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #15
Perfect stop on our way to Yellowstone.
@DavidL8659169 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #42
Beautiful location, easy reservation process, and even had pretty decent weather. No complaints!

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!!!
