The campground is situated amongst lodgepole pines and sagebrush. All sites are first-come, first-serve. The campground allows easy access to numerous hot springs in the area. The town of Stanley is very close, visitors can take an afternoon to visit the fascinating Stanley Museum, which reveals the rich history of the area.
