Many lots on water. Very open in a few with no shade for a good chunk of the day. Others are tucked in nicely but not on the water so much. Vault toilets, trash cans, fire rings with grills and big bear boxes. Mosquitoes and flies are real though. Bring as much spray, sticks, zappers as you can... they are hungry! This side of the lake dead ends by the way about 6mi or so past this last campground.
Great location! Camping is right next to the water which was a plus for the kids. The water is shallow for a ways out so was warm enough for a mid morning swim. They spent most of the time catching crawdads. I would advise that mid summer mosquitoes are in full force and deep woods repellent only works for about 15 mins. Bring your deet. Outhouses cleaned daily and within a few yards. Great views.
Great campground with friendly hosts! We arrived in the early afternoon and were worried they'd be full since it's one of the few first come, first serve Campsites in Yellowstone. Thankfully there were still plenty of spaces to choose from. Good sized lots, some smaller than others and the bathroom was clean. They had water stations located around the Campsite as well.
We had a great 4 night stay. Fishing was awesome and the water temperature was fantastic for swimming.
Beautiful campground. They just installed bear proof food lockers in every campsite to keep food secure. Thanks!
