Fox Creek Campground

Nice during the week. Busy, busy during the weekends. The roads in and out both ways haven't seen a blade in a year or more. No water, no camp host. Toilets have paper but cleanliness lacking, needs pumped out. Only one person kept their dogs on leash out of a very full campground. 99% think the rules don't apply to them as far as leashes. Gunfire within campground in middle of night. The lake is beautiful with lots of lily pads and wild life. Great for small non motor boats. Great trails all around. $15 a night $10 with Access Pass

This was the best first-come first served campground about twenty years ago...electric sites, but grizzly-bear warnings at every site. We stayed there anyway and loved it, pre-Covid, pre-Sprinter. Our campground host was a Harley rider and he decorated the restrooms with magazines, flowers and air freshener. Lovely. We've been back a couple of times, but it was closed. I assumed because of bear activity (like in Alaska), but that was incorrect—due to remodeling. It's still one of our all-time favorite USFS campgrounds.

Clean, electricity, usually uncrowded. Close to Beartooth and Absorokas mountains and Yellowstone Park. Near Cooke City MT.

We tried to camp at the Chief Joseph Campground near Cooke City, but it was closed. When we asked in town they said any nearby campground is closed to tent camping because the bears eat people. So we went a few miles away to Fox Creek in Wyoming. We didn't get eaten. Plus it was really nice and the bathrooms were super clean.

We had a confusing experience with this campground. It appeared to be closed (there was a gate partially blocking the entrance and there was not information on how to pay upon entering) however there were a number of RVs using sites within. We ended up using another campground for the night. The campground did have nice views of the surrounding mountains and is relatively convenient to the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone.
