Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
This is a wild property bordered by public land. No electricity, no plumbing. Just an exceptional piece of land, with a cold rushing creek to beat the heat, meadows with butterflies and flowers, privacy, and great views of the valley and surrounding mountains.  We have three cabins spread across the lot. Enjoy the smell of fresh milled wood and the sounds of the nearby creek. The cabins are spread far enough apart to offer privacy to each party, but know that you may still see other travelers on the land during your stay.  In addition to the cabins, enjoy the outdoor picnic and dining area, an outdoor gas stove, and a gas-powered fire pit. Outhouse with bucket toilet + cedar chips + bucket liners. Please pack it in, pack it out.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Nestled away, this campsite offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views that campers find unforgettable. Many visitors appreciate the soothing sounds of the creek that runs nearby, adding a natural soundtrack to their stay. The ease of access to nearby attractions like Yellowstone and Chico Hot Springs makes it a convenient base for exploration. While the road to the site might be a bit rough, it hasn't deterred campers from returning to bask in its tranquility.

    A++ rating and worth the gravel road drive to get there. Josh was a wonderful host. We unfortunately arrived after 9PM because exiting Yellowstone took much longer than expected. Josh’s very clear instructions got us to the location without issue. What a special treat to wake up to this beautiful location. Seeing the drive during daylight was also special. Highly recommend this Hipcamp location!
