1 night at Angell Creek Campground

My husband and I where on our way to WY and it was getting late. All of a sudden it started to snow, we need a place to go for the night. I found Angel camp and it was so beautiful, and to our surprise it had electric hook ups so we even had heat thru night. I did need to call to ask a question and the host answered first ring and was very helpful and kind. This is such a wonderful camp sight. I would love to stay here again.

Lovely spot. Easy to find with the directions provided. I was so grateful to find a spot in island park when all the campgrounds were closed. Safe for a single woman. Thank you!!!

you can't see the river from this pic (see next pic), but it is beyond this fence and down about 30 feet, you can hear it and see it once you are on site...with amazing views into Yellowstone.

The site, although small, had all the facilities we needed. The gentleman next door (Randy) was so helpful. We saw a mother black bear and her two cubs and elk on this site. It was easy to get into Yellowstone and the town had everything you could want.

Drove right to it with the directions that was sent to me, stayed four nights as a hotspot, jumping in and out of Montana , Wyoming and Yellowstone, about a 35 minute drive. Perfect set up for a single person or couples with pets. The area was well kept. I would definitely stay there or suggest it to others.

Nice overnight. Flat sites nicely spaced. Gravel was really fine and sticky so a broom or vacuum is a must in the RV

My husband and I really enjoyed this site! It was exactly what we needed for our weekend in Yellowstone. A place to pitch a tent with access to a bathroom. The river was beautiful, and there were little foot trails leading down the river to a bank where we found all sorts of track. The woman in the office was very nice and super chill. Good vibes all around. The only downside is you are close to the road and can hear the cats drive by, but it's not the busiest road.
