Camp hosts always keep the campground and outhouse sparkling. Year after year they provide great service.

@NormS1407285 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #2

Sites and restrooms are meticulously maintained. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. No partiers or loud campers...it was a great stay.

@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #6

With only 13 campsites this little gem was peaceful and serene. There was running water right next to spot #6 and all the sites were just a short walk to the vaulted toilets. No host on site, but the reserved sign was up upon my arrival and the site was clean and taken care of. I would recommend this campsite to anyone who wants to get away. The nearest cell service was about 13 miles away, so if you want to be "connected" at all, then this would not be for you.

@ShaunaL1D73F92 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #5

This campground is awesome! Our site was heavily wooded and very private. Our site was right next to the creek so you could here the water while in the camper at night! I would definitely stay here again!

@NicoleC4478336 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #8

Host was wonderful. Site was perfect!

@TrishW9045942 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful sites. Creek running beside all of them. Some were closer to the creek than others. Very large sites. Our had no shade (007 UPPE) but the rest did. Checkout was 12 noon and checking was 2. The road is only wide enough for one vehicle. Not much space to pull over to pass if you encountered one. Nice hiking trail higher up the mountain. Clean vault toilets. Some sites had a bear box. Ours did not but there was a community box to share.

@JimG4565855 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful quiet spot on the creek side. Roomy site with picnic table and fire ring. Clean outhouse.

@woutervB74D46C · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #6

Beautiful secluded area. Very private and clean. In the middle of nature

@LanceF9ED0D1CD · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #11

Quiet and serene campground by a stream and in the forest. The paved road and paved trailer pad minimize rough roads. The camping facilities are well maintained and cleanly,

@ElinHCB9FD1F27 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #7

Quiet and serene, and a world away from the highway. All sites are on the creek and theres a trailhead at the easternmost side of the campground.

@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #6

One of my favorite campgrounds of all time. Quiet, secluded, by the creek ,very little traffic ,great spot.

@CristeenC509C4 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #10

The upper loop was quiet - few generators! The hike at Swan Creek was lovely, following the creek and the verdant under story. Also, consider hiking Karst and Beehive Basin (outside Big Sky). Karst was mostly shady and secluded. Beehive included an amazingly beautiful wildflower meadow and obtainable mountain top. The camp host at Swan Creek was extra-ordinary! Caring, efficient, helpful and making sure all campers had a great experience. You won't be disappointed if you go.

@HeatherR735151 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #1

Lovely campground. Stayed in site 1.

@LindaT6530759 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #11

Sites are spacious. Lots of bird activity to view with lovely wild flowers.

@WilliamP724185 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #10

Always a great place!

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #12

Supersweet campgrounds. The sites on the upper loop are off the chart. #12 was stupendous

@KayleeG3480817 · Camped on Jul 4, 2023 at Campsite #9

Neighbors are a nice distance away. The mosquitoes were horrible but that’s just due to the time of year and moisture. Clean, quiet campground. Creek very close.

@CathyF5A13184D · Camped on Jun 21, 2023 at Campsite #10

Quiet, clean, on the river.

@CodyR6810047 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #3

Beautiful campground right next to the creek. The facilities were very clean and the gentleman watching over the campground was very nice. Would stay again.

@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #10

All went well. Someone was target practicing with a riffle above our camp site. It was a bit never racking but we were fine with it. The kids were scared at first.

@CharlesK231291 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #13

Camp sight was great, camp Host was super,& weather was right on. I missed not having hand sanitizer in the toilets.

@LeoL1212415 · Camped on Sep 6, 2022 at Campsite #5

the site is beautiful. not much bugs but so much sceneries.

@JudyT9392011 · Camped on Sep 6, 2022 at Campsite #11

Quiet spacious campsites next to a rushing creek. Very peaceful. We camped in the second loop where the campsites are more spread out. We'll be back!!!

@AdamR8344975 · Camped on Aug 16, 2022 at Campsite #3

This campground is absolutely beautiful and just far enough off the highway to get away from any road noise. Spaces are very private with lots of trees around them between the other sites. The site itself was very clean and open. The driveway set up was very easy to back into with a 30 ft bumper pull travel trailer. Will definitely be coming back again.

@DeborahC371835 · Camped on Aug 12, 2022 at Campsite #5

I did not know ahead of time that spot #5 (which is the one we had) did not have a regular tent area. It was quite small. We loved the campground though and will be back next year. We will just make sure not to reserve #5 because our tent is big. The campground was very clean and the creek was beautiful. There are lots of mosquitos but as long as you use repellant you are fine. We kept a thermocell going on the camp table and it worked wonders.

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!!!
