Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
According to Gaia GPS map this is just outside the West Yellowstone city border on Custer Gallatin National Forest where dispersed camping is allowed as long as you're away from Trailheads, established campgrounds, etc. Additional rules apply so check their comprehensive camping guide which you can find online.
We camped here because all other forest roads we tried still had significant snow cover making them impassable for our 2WD Promaster, or were closed (15 May 2023) such as the South Plateau road 1700 which leads to the many dispersed campsites you can see south of this spot on iOverlander.
It's not particularly beautiful, but it provides for a night a 5min drive from the West Yellowstone entrance. We were the only ones. Ground is level with compacted gravel, dry despite the intense snow melts. Plenty of space to go for a walk in the forest (be bear aware). Fair phone reception, restaurants, bars, shops, gas, etc. just a few minutes away. There's a little creek carrying water, but most likely dries out in summer.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
