Slough Creek Campground

The #1 campground in the USA, and for good reason! The views are beautiful, the sound of the creek is relaxing, Bison roam through the campground on a regular basis, bears roam across the creek, wolves are a mile away in their den, golden Eagles nest on the cliff by the road, Beaver swim in Slough Creek and all this for $20 a night!? 🤯🤯🤯 The hosts are great people too, James and Amy are super nice and accommodating and will answer all of your wildlife and hiking questions. Amy has a great smile and James has the best hair I have ever seen!

Beautiful and quiet. I wished we would have brought a sun canopy instead of our tarps as there was no trees in our site to hang the tarps. Once the sun came up over the mountain it got very hot. We had multiple bison roam through camp which was magical!

This is a cute little area tucked inside Yellowstone. You are basically sleeping next to the Bison (and Bears) in this place. Very pretty though.

Awesome campground!! Stayed 4 nights in July 2023. Available 2 weeks in advance. You need to get up early to book.

Beautiful campground next to Slough Creek! The fishing is tough, but there are trout there. This campground gets booked up fast!

I camped at site#1 last week for one night. This campground only has 16 sites and site#1 and 2 are a bit secluded from the rest. Site#2 nobody had shown up and I was solo camping, so, that became a somewhat spooky experience for me especially with the campground host warning of Bears roaming close to the campsites. It was my dream to camp at slough creek and stay in the heart of the Serengeti of North America! The creek flows right beside site#1, I was able to photograph Milky Way Galaxy on my phone, saw a couple of bisons across the creek at 5am. The wolf den look out point is 1 miles away. There is a golden eagle nest as well nearby. So, it was indeed a special experience. The campground has no water so please bring your own. Giving it 4 stars because of the eerie and extremely lonely nature of site#1. Also, people don't cancel it and then don't show up which prevents those who tried to reserve but couldn't to stay here.

Looking for a car campground in Yellowstone that feels a little more like the backcountry? This is the spot. A few miles down a bumpy, pothole ridden, dirt road and you’re there. Farther away from the crowds, this campground boasts a scenic mountain backdrop, lulling sounds of the creek, and stellar views of the night sky. Plus we even got treated to nature’s alarm clock one morning: a whole bison herd stomping and grunting through the campsite at 0600! Perfect location for an early start for prime wildlife watching in the Lamar Valley. Slough Creek trailhead is nearby as well. Pullouts along Slough Creek road are great for catching a sunset. No potable water at the moment, so fill up before you come. Pit toilets. We expected no coverage but did get some spotty cell service.

Spent 3 nights! Had coffee with a Buffalo on the Buffalo River. Remote. Great animal viewing area nearby. Awesome campground hosts Rustic not for the faint of heart. BRING BEAR SPRAY AND BUG SPRAY. 🔥 and smoke helps keep the bugs down. ❤️ Yellowstone Did I mention to bring bear spray 🤔 Grizzly territory

It is one of the most amazing places in Yellowstone National Park that you can go to. The trailhead hosts pit bathrooms, free parking, and campgrounds about a quarter of Mile in. And a trail that goes about 3.5 mi. In addition, if you're very, very, very lucky, you will either hear or see the Slough Creek Pack.
