We have been RVing for the past 7 years. I have to honestly say this is the most beautiful campground we have camped at in our RV. There are only 10 spots, so it's not a crowded campground. It appeared most sites can take a large RV. Our RV is 28 feet and we able to get it into our spot (3) with little difficulty. If you have an oversized RV, try to get spot 4. It looked like it could take a Class A if necessary. Yes, the road to it off the main highway is a dirt road with a lot of washboard and pot holes. We didn't like that. It will take you about 15-20 minutes to get to the campsite if you go slow. The fishing at the lake was awesome. Caught several brook trout and one tiger trout from the shore using worms for bait. The nights are very chilly, especially in June. It even snowed about an inch on us and the temperature got down to 26 degrees one night! Also, be advised there is NO cell phone service at all. I also want to mention that the camp host Deb, was the best host we ever had met at a campsite!! I thought I would run out of fuel for our generator and she said if I needed some, she would get me fuel. How many camp hosts would do that? Although we didn't use the restrooms, I saw her every day going into them and cleaning. The best camp host ever! We would love to come back here one day again. It's peaceful and quiet. We did see one moose with her calf across the lake.

The campsite was wonderfully maintained. The bathroom was clean. Many of the campsites have access to the lake which was amazing for a swim. It is very close to a trailhead for hiking as well. Make sure you check where the camp host is staying so you can get firewood right away. This can camp ground is ready for your next adventure.

This campground is so close to so many different outdoor opportunities. Hiking up into the Bighorns via several different routes, kayaking and fishing on West Tensleep Lake. First time here-had a great time (5-day stay). It does seem that people not camping on site were passing through the campground quite a bit both on foot and vehicles-more so on the weekend.

We had a wonderful two nights at West Tensleep Lake! Our reserved campsite was just as we expected and we will be returning another year. The campground host was very attentive and kept the bathrooms clean for all the campers. We will return!

Even with the limited amount of campers at this campground, I saw someone clean the bathroom (just toilets, not water) at night and in the morning...very clean. Being that this campsite was near my trailhead, I stopped at this bathroom after I hiked out to change clothes in lieu of using the bathrooms at the trailhead because of its cleanliness (shhh, don't tell anyone).
