19 acres, smack dab in the middle of nowhere! It has the beautiful green canyon on its western edge and steveco farms surrounding it. The canyon is steep and wild animals may be present so caution is advised. Cell service is hit and miss which I love this creates forced family fun and gets everyone off of there mobile devices.

Mike was a great host and the camp site was exactly as advertised. We used RV site 1 and it was far enough away from the other camp sites so it was peaceful and quiet. Great experience over all and highly recommend.

View to the back of the lot, very wooded, side by side and dirtbike trails right behind it so bring your toys

Site two has a nice green grass area right beside it, nice and clean, some nice overflow parking, beautiful wild flowers, fresh water and electric with access to a portapotti. Directions were easy to follow, and parking area with easy to maneuver in. We were away and the host stopped by to introduce himself but unfortunately we were out exploring! Will look forward to booking again.

2 nights at Camp Steelhead

We were hauling to get there before sunset so I could setup And suddenly a rainbow appeared as we were turning onto Rainbow Dr. How pretty! We loved site #1. Its a little closer to the road than site 2, but its right next to a giant wood stack. There are two great spots for a hammock (15 and 13 ft between trees). We loved the stumps for sitting around the fire so we didn't have to unpack our folding chairs. The picnic table was perfect as well. We camped in a bit of rain, but the grass drains well and nothing was soggy. Mike was quick to reply. The site is in a neighborhood of some homes, some trailers, some motor homes, but we didn't mind. And right off Phillips is a gas station that I found very convenient for gas and ice. This site got us to Old Faithful in about an hour and 20 mins, and to the paint pots in just over an hour I think. But most of the drive into the park is so pretty you don't even notice you're on a drive. We also did Bridger Teton and that was only about 2.5 hours drive to get to Jenny Lake. Oh! And there is a town between here and Yellowstone with a store called Eagle Curios which is open until midnight with souvenirs and clothes and ICE CREAM until midnight. Which is a life saver when returning back from a long day of hiking and a bit of drive. Thank you so much!

It was such an amazing place to stay, gorgeous, remote, wonderful hiking. I hope they will be able to get water to the sites (we carried our own up) but also having electricity and a place to dump made this so easy. The host met us at the top and explained things to us. Fred's land is a magical place to stay.

The grounds were extremely well maintained, beautifully decorated and lovingly tended to! The place had a lot of extra nice touches and amenities that made one of a kind. Staff was helpful and made sure we always had what we needed. I will say, the service is extremely spotty, especially depending on your phone carrier and there is no WIFI. For safety reasons this is something I wish we had access to as the site was in a pretty rural area.

Mike's camp was great. We were in Site1. A camp spot in the woods without all the crowds of an RV park. The camp was clean and spacious and has a nice lawn for kids or dogs to play on. Mike was super helpful offering suggestions for hikes and things to see and do. Note that the river is not super close, but not a hard walk to get there. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

1 night at The Aspen Grove Inn at Heise Bridge

Charming Spot with Beautiful Views — Just Be Aware of the Details We stayed at Aspen Grove Inn and RV Park for a quick getaway and overall had a nice experience. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the property itself is very well maintained and cared for. We stayed in the O'Canada Yurt, which was clean, cozy, and super cute — a fun and unique place to stay. The hosts clearly take pride in their property and keep everything in great shape. That said, they are quite strict and have a number of rules, which made us a little nervous about missing something and being charged. We made sure to thoroughly clean the yurt ourselves before leaving just to be safe. Our kids really enjoyed the Borrow Barn — the games and toys were a great bonus and helped keep them entertained. One disappointment was that several amenities listed on the website, like swimming, mini golf, and rock climbing, were not actually available on-site but rather at a different location north of the property for an additional fee. It would’ve been helpful to have that made clearer in advance, as we chose the stay in part based on those offerings, mostly for the pool. On the bright side, the bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean — definitely appreciated! All in all, we enjoyed our short stay. With a little more transparency on the amenities and perhaps a slightly more relaxed approach to the rules, this place could be even more enjoyable.
