Amazing camp hosts and you couldn't ask for a more beautiful place to camp right along the creek!

Awesome campground in Lamar Valley. Bison wandered past the tent twice while we were there. The creek is gorgeous for swimming in. Saw wolves and bears feeding together on a bison carcass just down from the campground - a dream come true. Restrooms are spotless but no water - bring your own.

The campground host was very friendly when he welcomed us to Slough Creek. The restrooms were very clean and the campground was quiet.

This is truly a remote campground and a very nice change inside the park. I hope to return some day.

Loved it. The only drawbacks: looky-loo people driving way too fast into the campground at daybreak, and throughout the day into the day use area to turn around. Most annoying for sites 1 and 2. Would be great to have signage to discourage day use entry to 9-6 or so. For the love, don't feed the ground squirrels! It's bad for them and all food left around attracts bears, and people are camping here! I'd still reserve site 2 again though. Being up on the hill a bit gave us more breezes, and a good view of the creek and hillsides. It felt more private also as it was far from other sites.
There were mosquitoes. Manageable...more than the day use people.
Nice camp hosts.
So many flowers this year, beautiful creek view from site 2. Not level but not horrible. Saw a badger right at camp. Saw a cinnamon colored black bear across the creek from camp and more on the creek path. Saw a snake, sand hill cranes, bison, and loads of butterflies on the Slough Creek trail. Buggy at the trailhead and the duration of the uphill out of the drainage. Would be great to have a trail from camp to the trailhead in order to avoid cars but the road wasn't too bad to walk.
It was unclear where the creek fords were to head to the Soldier Trail. The creek was running fairly high. At the Slough Creek intersection we looked a bit for the other ford but it was muddy and the water was high and with storms expected we made the ranger cabin our turnaround point instead. Beautiful hike. So glad to have been able to grab these spots. Definitely bring extra water, portable solar panels would be good, too. There IS some cell service at camp, T-Mobile (better, enough for phone calls) and Verizon (slow at camp, better up on the trail and the road).

Slough Creek is not for everybody, but it's just perfect for the one's who it is for. Located just outside the Lamar Valley, this campground is the closest for animal watching and world class fly fishing. The campground is 2.5 miles off the main road down a gravel road. Early in the season, the wolves den with their pups in the hills to the west. They can be seen often in the early morning and late evening. While staying here, we saw otters in the creek (bigger than I expected), lots of wolves, lots of bears, and lots of buffalo. The campground is located at the confluence of Slough Creek and Buffalo Fork Creek. The fishing is excellent all up and down this creek. The campground is basic, but with the creek and animals, it can't be beat. There are only 16 sites, with three pit toilets and 2 hand water pumps. The pit toilets are immaculate. There are multiple sites that will take larger RVs, but no power and no generators allowed. Solar highly recommended. The camp hosts are great. They can and will answer most of your questions. Bears do frequent the area around the campground, so bear safety precautions (no food, utensils, grills, ice chests left out) are a must. This is one of the only campgrounds with good cell coverage. Verizon works best, but AT&T also works. We visited here in the summer and will definitely come again.
