About the campground

The elevation is 5,600 ft. The North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is 48 miles south of campground. The campground is configured with two spurs. The lower spur contains eight sites along Mill Creek, one of which is a group site. The upper spur is on a hillside above Mill Creek. The campground is heavily wooded with mature spruce and fir, providing shade for most sites. The understory is thick with shrubs; tumble berry and raspberry are dominant. The interior Gallatin National Forest 219 road is narrow and rough with some low-hanging branches and tight turnarounds. Depending on RV size, getting from one spur to the other may require leaving the campground and returning. Firewood available for a fee. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques. “Possessing/storing food so bears/wild animals have access will result in a fine of up to $5,000 or six months imprisonment or both.”
