Eighteen sites scattered through dense spruce and fir at 7,400 feet elevation, with Colter Creek running nearby. Sites handle RVs up to 32 feet, though getting bigger rigs positioned takes patience. Vault toilets and hand-pump water, but no hookups. Sites 12-18 offer the most privacy, backing up to wilderness boundary.
Open mid-June through September depending on snow. Gets busy on weekends with Yellowstone traffic, but weekdays stay mellow. Campground road is paved but narrow — scout your site before unhitching if you’re pulling a trailer.
