Very good shady campground. Very clean bathrooms. Could use some gravel around the picnic table so it didn't turn to mud when it rains.

Great little campground. NOTE: Site 9 - the description on-line is not correct. Site 9 is now a big through with little shade, not a shaded back-in as described.

We never saw the camp host and people didn't seam to care about the quite hours but it was a very pretty camp stop next to Yellowstone national Park.

Great spot right off the road. Perfect for a stop before/after Yellowstone. Grass is tall between sites which made it very private. Right by the creek. No service. Vault toilets were very clean.

No posting of our reservation. Another camper claimed it was opened. Camphost was not at their rig to clear up situation. Luckily there was another site to pull in. Same held true with friends traveling with us

Sites are spacious. Only one toilet not so good and it’s very smelly and dirty; need to upgrade cleanliness, paint the floor, add a trash can instead of just a plastic bag hanging. No wood available to have a campfire. Would be good to know when host is/is not there; said he was going to town as we pulled in but was not there the next day. Also, hours of operation staffing by volunteers at adjacent Wapiti Ranger Station are not posted. This practice has become common at state and national parks around the country of which many are understaffed and noncommittal about service hours. Please do your jobs and serve the public who support your pay. It’s not okay to not have regular hours posted and supported. We’re all paying for our park systems. Why are the parks not supporting us?

This was a nice, clean CG in a pretty location. Our site (8) was good, not exactly spacious, but the bugs were too bad (late June) to spend much time outside at the site anyway. The next site (9?) has direct river access and no one was there, so we could walk through and enjoy the beautiful river. The host was friendly and helpful.

Very nice campground. Host kept it very clean. You could run 1 water line to the host camp so we wouldn't have to go over to Wapati campground. Lack of water would not keep us from camping there again.

Beautiful campsites bathhouses could have been cleaned at least once during our 4 night stay.

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!!!
