A remarkable place to camp! Five miles off the main road on a dirt road. The road is well maintained however some potholes and washboard. Situated on South Tongue River.

We had wonderful time Family Camping for a week! Nice & quiet campground and extremely clean outhouse. Jan was a lovely and friendly Camp Host. We had a 5th Wheel & both our son & son-in-law & families had Toy Haulers. It was fun using our 4-wheelers on many of the trails nearby. We plan to go again next year!

Although this campground will accommodate large RVs, there are no hookups. There is fresh water available through a few water well hand pumps throughout the campground. So, bring in your water or be prepared to hand-pump and carry it. But, the water quality is excellent. This campground is small, but most of the sites are spacious. The sites are clean and well-kept. Same for the vault toilets. The Tongue River runs around the boundary of the campground and is easy to access. The camp hosts were great. Beware there are large wild animals that frequent the campground. If you bring a dog, keep him on a leash and nearby. He will be no match for an angry moose as some campers have found out the hard way. The only downside to this campground is the constant roar of off-road vehicles u

First time at a paid campsite. Good access to the South Fork of the Tongue for fishing. Saw 4 moose, one got a little too close. Host was very nice and helpful. Firewood for sale on site. Clean restrooms. Luckily I had nice neighbors and we had a good time hanging out!
