Amazing campground. The host at the time worked with us, had the place always top notch. the area was full of wildlife. 5 miles off the main road so that you dont have daily traffic. quiet and peaceful

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!

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!

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.

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 up and down the main access road that leads to the park, stirring up dust that will blow into the campground if the wind is right. Hopefully, the Forestry Service will soon deal with this If they did, this campground would be a bargain at twice the price. I'm sure that most of the Bighorn Mountain campgrounds suffer from this. But otherwise, this campground is a real gem.

Basic campground with few amenities (potable water, pit restrooms). But the views are amazing, area is clean, and quiet over night. Close to the South Tongue River if you fish. The roads that lead to the campground are all dirt/gravel in various stages of quality. Even in August the temps can plummet so be prepared for any weather. Closest gas and food would be Elk View Inn followed Bear Lodge at Burgess Junction.
