Spotlessly clean restrooms and a nice shady site next to the river made for a nice stay. Many thanks to the staff and rangers!

We stayed in site 51 in early July. The campsite was close to the restrooms, but also far enough away that there wasn't an issue with lights or traffic. We camped with a small 18' camper and had plenty of room. The way the campsite is configured, we wouldn't have wanted to stay with anything larger. Campsites were spaced apart nicely. We could see our camping neighbors, but couldn't hear them and we still felt that we had privacy. We had a nice view across the road where we saw horses in the mornings. The rangers were very friendly and helpful.

We hit a bad streak of weather in mid June 2024. We got there in cold rain, sites were muddy, including ours. Nearest bathroom was closed. Sites were much smaller than the pix on the reservation site would make them look, and were have a class b only 21' long. We also found that nearly all the trials required a wading water crossing right at the beginning which was not great news with the cold. The just show crossings on the maps no mention of wet or dry crossings. Too cold for that. We were scheduled for 4 days, but with similar weather coming, we left the next morning as did many others in the campground, it appeared. Many empty sites when we got there and even more first thing in the morning. Not nearly as nice a place as it's popularity would indicate.

Quiet near river. Drinking water is near most sites. Some corners are a bit tight for very large rigs. Great place to watch stars. Did not go into restrooms or bathhouse

We had bison come through the campground a couple of times. Bathrooms were clean. Great location.
