Great spot right near the river. 6 official spots that we can tell with fire pits and picnic tables and room for more. Pit toilet was “clean” for a pit toilet. Not far from I90 so you can hear traffic and the train but really a nice spot for free. There is only 1 other right here (one was pulling out when we arrived). AT&T has 1-2 bars.

what everyone else said. The place is quite nice.

Beautiful campground but tweakers in one campsite are living there w no consideration of their neighbors or surroundings. Ran a generator from 10pm to 1130pm and basically gave a big FU to everyone else who was camping there. No number to call and nobody wanted to start something w the unknown drug factor so it ran until they got in their cars and left, leaving the trailer and a beat up shitbox to hold their spot. Wild horses in the field next to us and a train that came by 5 times last night (really, lol) so a good opportunity was wasted here.

The reviews are underrated - stunning spot. I can’t figure out if we are allowed to camp directly on the river. A few boaters but they pull in and out & park almost immediately. 2 Barz Verizon

This is the cleanest, best spot I’ve ever camped at. Literally 50 feet from Yellowstone River. At least 5 spots with picnic tables and fire pits. Pack it in, pack it out!

free for 7 days. 6-7 designated spots. don't park/camp anywhere else. this spot is monitored, so don't burn it. water is very high on the Yellowstone River right now. be weary during the rain as the river can and will breach the walls and flood the place. picnic tables and fire rings at all spots. stayed 5 nights. I assume they were locals came by a few nights and threw stuff at my RV or banged on my windows late at night. They didn't when others were camped there so just be aware. lots of fun rocks to look for. Trains go by pretty frequently day and night. good trees to hang hammocks.

Nice spot with a few camping areas. Fire rings. Pit toilet and easy access to river water. Cell reception ok. A bit sluggish. You can hear road traffic in the distance but not too bad. When the train comes by honking it is very loud though. Some traffic coming in and out during weekend. So many mosquitoes though. Even in October.

This spot was beautiful. It was really windy while we were there and the trains went through several times throughout the night (very loud). But would still recommend. There is a pit toilet, but it was locked while we were there.

Great, easy stop for the night. Train passes by occasionally, didn’t bother me. Sites are less than 10 minutes off the highway.

I questioned if this would be open with the Great Yellowstone Flood of 2022 but pulled in this afternoon and it is! water definitely flooded the area but has recessed. I will warn, it is pretty muddy, but the gravel helps. Still got in with a big rig

The area is currently flooded from Yellowstone River. Might be a few days until available.

Awesome, free campground!
It was fairly crowded but it was easy to find a spot for the van right next to the river, by the boat ramp. Lovely waking up and jumping right in to the Yellowstone river.

5 camping spots along the Yellowstone river. Picnic tables, fire pits and a pit toilet available. Says 7 days max camping. Freight train can be loud passing though, but I’ve gotten used to the external noises out on the road.
