No Fuss , just the way I like it. Bathroom was so much cleaner than those in the parks. I was surprised and would absolutely go back.

@EdwardM9946642 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #11

Ruby and Jack went out of their way to make our stay effortless and enjoyable. Can't say enough about their kindness. The place was kept immaculate.

@TessaN9520826 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #16

Site 16 was right on the water, big spot, and had lots of space - hands down one of the best sites in the campground! This campground and lake is a hidden gem and are so happy we spent a week here. The mosquitos were really bad and it was unbearable to be outside after 6:30/7pm, so make sure you bring bug spray!

@LauraF3344985 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #12

So lovely to be right on the lake and a convenient distance from paved roads while still feeling secluded.

@AllenM9407338 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #25

The camp hosts were awesome. They let us exchange site 25 for an open spot next to the lake. Site 25 has very little shade and is right next to toe boat trailer parking lot. Mosquitos and horse flys were bad so bring repellent. The lake and weather were fantastic.

@Katherine76321 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #3

Cleanest vault toilets I've ever seen! The campground was clean and quiet. However, the mosquitos and biting flies were absurd. Our family went through one can of OFF our first night. Not even campfire smoke could keep them away. We paddle boarded on the lake to watch the sunset, and my son's back looked like he had chicken pox the next day. We camp frequently and know insects are part of being outdoors, but the infestation we encountered at Lonesomehurst will ensure we never go back!

@JessicaH685289 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #7

Really nice campground overlooking the lake. Was glad there was wood to purchase for our fire (bring $10 cash for a bundle). Bathrooms were clean. Only complaint is that the mosquitos were horrendous! We were literally swarmed right when we stepped out of our car. We went back into town for bug spray, otherwise it would have been intolerable.

@TaniaPFBDC3AD1 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #11

This is a nice, small campground and the sites are spacious. Beautiful lake! Easy drive to Yellowstone as well. The only downside was the mosquitoes which made it difficult to be outside at dusk.The hosts were great!

@AlishaH473EBFA · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful camp site! the views were fantastic! Water and toilets were close and the Yellowstone entrance was only 15 minutes away. Only downside was the mosquitos. No fault of the campground, just the natural consequence of being on a lakeshore.

@DanO3228131 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #19

What a gorgeous campground! Easy access to the lake and comfortable place to stay.

@woutervB74D46C · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #2

This small campground at the lake is nice. However the entrance is a bit messy. We could only book spot 2 which is not recommended! Luckily there was another spot available and after speaking with the friendly host we could swap and had a nice stay!

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #17

I camp at Lonesome Hurst every year. Thank you so much for laying down a great gravel base to campground road. The obvious affect is the reduction of dust by 99% and wear and tear on RV.

@StephenM951052 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #13

Nice small campground. Vault bathrooms clean and accessible. Water a little scarce and we were glad we added electric. A little ways from town but overall a nice spot on the lake and about 10 easy miles to Yellowstone entrance.

@KellyJoWEF3F56 · Camped on May 25, 2024 at Campsite #9

This site had great views of the lake, and it was easily accessible. My biggest complaint is the sites felt too close together. They were mostly RVs, and we were tent camping. Hearing the generator right next to us until 1030 pm wasnt great.

@ColleenW569566 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #25

Very quiet. We had power - that was a plus. Its an easy drive into Yellowstone

@CraigD9937423 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #8

Very nice campground, site was clean and level.

@LeighannA551DF · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #2

Hosts were great. Really nice people

@konnies6040352 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #20

Loved it. Added 3 more nights

@KelseyH7238494 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #10

We had site 10 and loved it! We were sleeping in the back of our truck and had paddle boards, so being on the water was perfect. Plenty of room. Super quiet too. Will be back!

@IrisW59B4CC4A0 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #14

Nice and quiet, but lots of mosquitoes. Lake is very cold.

@PaulK4963226 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #25

Great layout and great CG hosts. Mosquitos were unbelievably bad - not a ding on the CG. It was a very wet year. Bring appropriate mosquito repellant / clothing to enjoy outside. Definitely would come back.

@eleab79D2C40F2 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023 at Campsite #19

Nice place, close to a lake ! Clean toilet. Too bad to don't have shower but you can have a shower in town in the laundry. :) Close to YellowStone Park, we also went to see a rodeo show close to the place. The owner of the place are super nice, you have free wood for a barbecue and the bear boxes were clean. Thanks :)

@CaseyK90F082B3 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #9

Mosquitos were atrocious but the spot was stunning. Had our own little beach IN our campsite and was able to just paddle board the entire time. AND had service. 10/10 recommend.

@PatriciaH36547 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #6

Enjoyed our visits to the Earthquake Lake Visitor Center and West Yellowstone.

@ZoeC394B43C36F · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #20

We stayed at Lonesomehurst for two nights at the start of July. The campground is in a beautiful location right on the lake, however be aware that this lake is predominately used by motorised boats which can be loud. The overall campground is very well maintained, the bathrooms are in excellent condition and the camp hosts are lovely. This is an RV forward campsite but there were a few tents when we were there. We stayed in site 20 which I would not recommend as it is directly adjacent to the toilets. It is positioned in the inner loop and has direct eyeline to the toilets with no privacy. Luckily the toilets did not smell at all due to the good management. We were rooftop tent camping and made the most of the site by using the electric plugin to create ambiance. The sites across the way have a great view of the lake. Site 19 is stunning if you can book it, it’s got a great view and has good privacy. We were able to have breakfast there one morning as the occupants checked out early. All in all, great campground if you can get a lake spot. Generators can be loud at times but the policy is that they have to be turned off by 10pm. Most people didn’t use generators but there was one who had his on all day. Great vicinity to west Yellowstone for people who want to explore the park during the day and come back to the campsite in the evening.

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!!!
