Customer Reviews
I had my worst camping experience ever at this site because of the camp host. I have never had a camp host relentlessly trying to engage with me before. It was honestly traumatic. I was lucky my camp neighbor was in law enforcement; I asked him to stand by me so I could pack up and leave on day two. I AM NOT A DRAMA QUEEN. I'm a full time RVer for years, and generally roll with the punches in my travels. But this was so invasive. He'd be standing there as I arrived. He'd come into my camp nonstop with his big German Shepherd -- oh, which bit my arm and bruised it by the way. He would peep through my windows. He'd pop his head in my camper looking for me. He would apply serious guilt trips if you didn't stay in camp to entertain him. I honestly don't have enough words to describe the creepi
First off - camp host was a cool dude. Very knowledgeable but respectful of privacy. He was the kind of host who tells bear stories, great warnings and advice. Which is no joke, especially in this area. He reminded me of Ron Swanson. Other hosts go too heavy on the gore/horror of bear attacks and others ask for too much personal information; this guy was literally my ideal camp host. This area is gorgeous and nice to explore. I was wary of being so close to the river but each camp is spacious and private from the other camps around it. There was plenty of space to pick a good spot for our tent. RV/vans might have limited spots here because it seemed like at least half of the spots were walk ups. If you’re in a tent, this is a good spot. Bathroom was nicely kept and the bear boxes/main garb
Awesome small campground with incredible views and sites that have a lot of space and privacy. Also halfway between the Cody and Yellowstone. I thought the Forest ranger (host?) could have been nicer. Stopped by twice to give info about grizzlies and proper storage, which even though I know all of this, I am fine with the heads up and everything, I just thought his demeanor was not very nice.
The host is so awesome! Also the campsite is beautiful and not far from Cody or Yellowstone. We only stayed one night but it was definitely worth it.
Really nice campsite. Facilities were very clean. Nice views of the landscape, situated right beside the river. Was pretty cool to see buffalo grazing so close to the campsite too. The campsite host was a gentleman!
