it was okay. something about it felt a little sketch to me. our fire pit had so much trash in it. there were cigarette butts everywhere. we didn’t feel safe leaving our rv alone. when we first arrived we smelled a faint poop smell. it just came and went all day while we were at the camper. we took our dog for a walk and realized it was from people pooping in the woods behind our camping area. we assume it’s from tent campers. we found toilet paper and just huge piles. we did end up staying the night. we slept fine. i didn’t really ever feel unsafe, just uncomfortable in the area. had to follow our gut feeling and we left the next morning.
cell service was awful. it said we had 5G but it was dial up speeds. just so slow.

This was a great place to boondock while visiting Yellowstone National Park. It was mostly quiet, clean and had great cell service. Easy to access for any size rig.
The weekends are a little busier with UTVs and horses.
We even got to witness a cattle drive right in front of our campsite which our son LOVED.

Very nice boondocking spot, easy access, level enough. Has some trees for shade but still good sun coverage for solar panels. Got firepit in the site but was not able to use as no campfire allowed during our stay. We got a Motorhome Class A towing a Jeep. No issue on parking big rig here. It does get busy on weekends as there are many ATV riders going through the site.
Stayed here while exploring Yellowstone National Park. It is 25 minutes away from west entrance. West Yellowstone town is near enough for groceries, souvenir shopping or dine in restaurants.
Cell signal is decent but gets very slow on weekends.

Amazing space once we found it. Passed it on the way in and drove on a very bumpy and road until we gave up——and then saw it right off the road on our way out.

Such a lovely spot—and we felt like idiots for driving right by it.

A nice place to stay near west entrance of Yellowstone. Appears to be used by hunters in the fall so the area that you drive around has very deep ruts, just be aware. Other than that very nice place to stay. No facilities.

Free public land that allows you to stay up to 14 days. You can set up camp just about anywhere, but there is semi-tall grass on much of the land. There are several cleared dispersed parking sites along Red Rock Pass Rd on the left side when heading N/W. Several sites have fire pits and dirt/gravel. Red Rock Pass Rd is paved with no steep inclines; however, some of the sites and access roads are better suited for higher clearance. We had a motorcycle on a hitch parallel to the truck tailgate and a 20’ travel trailer. We scraped the motorcycle hitch pretty bad, but it has a very low clearance.
There is a convenient store about 8 minutes down the road from this site. And, the site is 20 minutes from the west gate of Yellowstone and it’s little town with shops and restaurants.
There’s also BLM land further down Red Rock Pass Rd which backs up to the south rim of Henry’s Lake. There are several sites, a boat ramp, and a vault toilet here. To get there you have to turn right on the gravel road directly after Red Rock RV Park (there’s a sign staying it’s to the south rim of the lake). The gravel road is a few miles long and has a some mild inclines.
Henry’s Lake State Park is about 8 minutes away and you can pay $5 for a day pass, and then take showers, use RV dump, and get water.

Great little campsite! We stayed one night in our 33ft RV, getting there roughly around 530pm, with a few sites remaining. Quiet evening, spent cooking out and enjoying the time together with our two dogs.

This is a great free spot with an easy drive to Yellowstone. We arrived on a Sunday and the area was already almost full. I was expecting it to clear out by Monday but everyone stayed. You can drive up and down the road and probably find a location to squeeze in if needed. We were able to get the last open spot and had plenty of room for our 43' fifth wheel. It was a little muddy and could get slippery if there is more rain. It didn't cause us any problems but got the fifth wheel and truck very dirty.
We were able to get 6Mbps download with AT&T and a little less with T-Mobile. The throughput was low but was enough to stream TV although it was grainy. AT&T proved to be a little more reliable than T-Mobile. Phone calls were fine.

Another good dispersed camping find! If we hadn’t been trying to escape the snow moving into the area we would have stayed longer.
Dry camping, plenty of places to camp. Lots of trees and open grass alike.
Verizon signal was surprisingly strong for being a forested area. Three bars of LTE, definitely enough to work from.
