West Tensleep Campground

Our family just spent five days here camping in our travel trailer. It was a bit of a trek to get up here with our van but it was well worth it. This had to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever been! The lake is icy cold and clear. We enjoyed many afternoons of paddleboarding, fishing, swimming, and general mucking about in the creek and on the lake itself. We saw plenty of moose, some elk, and no bears thankfully. As others have mentioned, the camp host is excellent! She kept the bathrooms clean and well stocked and every interaction we had with her was pleasant.

Great campground and the bathroom are open, clean, and were well maintained. In fact for rudimentary bathrooms (outhouse type) they were some of the best I have used. The campground is a nice fairly quiet spot, although everyone with a camper (including us) had a generator that they used for short time periods. The nights were nice and quiet though. The campsites are all large, but not every site would accommodate a camper. We were in site 6 and out 18ft camper fit okay. I love the fact that all the sites are open in the back to the forest. It gave you almost unlimited camping space. The fire rings were great, and with just a little bit of searching there is lots of dead wood in the forest. It is cold at 9000 ft, especially at night, and it sprinkled / rained all three days we were the

Wow that area had more unoccupied campers than I've ever seen ..... I was there from Wednesday to Sunday. No one ever showed up at the camper next to us .... why save spots for that long ? It's b.s.

In our 7 years of camping in our RV, this definitely was the best campground we ever stayed in. It's off the beaten path by about 6 miles, but well worth it. There are only 10 camping spots, and it is quiet. The lake is beautiful! Caught several trout from shore and we even ate them on the grill. Even saw a moose and her calf across the lake. The camp host Deb, was the best camp host I have ever encountered. She went above her duties to ensure we were well taken care of. I would love to return to this campground one day in the future.

Great campground! Remember to make reservations! The restrooms are very clean! I will return.
