The Campsite
This campsite is setup similar to a campground or RV park, with long, fairly level pads for each spot. The campground has a pit toilet bathroom as well as a boat ramp. This makes for a great area to launch your watercraft, or just watch the birds from the dock! We paddled our kayaks around on the lake for a beautiful view of the area. The area is very quiet and makes for a nice base camp for activities around Yellowstone National Park.
