Great Views, No Instructions
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to stay at such a beautiful Hipcamp location and for the host's kindness in accepting my last-minute booking and allowing me to check in at 8:05 pm. However, I left feeling extremely disappointed with certain aspects of the experience. While the host gave an introduction over the phone when I arrived, it was so dark outside that I couldn’t make sense of the directions, and despite calling back twice, I was unable to get any additional guidance. I understand it was very late and also early on a Sunday when I called again, but without clearer instructions, I ended up wandering the property, feeling like I was trespassing, just trying to find basic amenities like the bathroom. Every door I tried was locked, and without any signage or detailed instructions, it made what could have been a wonderful experience quite frustrating. To top it off, I lost my Apple Watch during my stay, though I was lucky to retrieve it the next day. While I truly appreciate the host’s flexibility, clearer communication and better organization would have significantly improved my stay.

Our experience was fine. We came when it was dark. There wasn’t proper lighting. Sites weren’t numbered. It looked like a disheveled piece of property. No real driveways. The bathroom was a bonus (but hard to find at first). Property looked like it was abandoned and work started and never finished. The host however was sweet and helpful. I know she mentioned they were new to Hip Camp, so I want to give Grace there. The full hook ups and price was good. I believe once they finish the property it would be a great place to camp. I would go back, but definitely not in the dark.

Nice Camping- a Work in Progress
This is a really beautiful site, but not at all fancy. It is a work in progress (no sites are numbered and the electricity is from extension cords) but it is steps from a beautiful river that was pristine and uncrowded. They have put up some nice twinkle lights around the campground which warms in up nicely. There is a cannabis shop on site which, depending on your preferences, could be good or bad. Marjorie was helpful and responsive in checking us in. We had a nice stay there.

A cute little campground next to the Yellowstone River, with restrooms and a shower a short walk up a hill. Marjorie greeted us and was very friendly and helpful. I'd stay there again if I ever go to Yellowstone another time!

Odd and confusing experience
I called the owner before 6pm to let her know we’d be showing up after 8pm per campground rules and she said that was fine and to call once we arrived so she could show us to our spot. We arrived at about 9pm and I called multiple times and even left a couple messages, no answer or callback. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting we decided to go find an empty spot to park since there are no markings to indicate which campsite is which. After parking we tried to go find a bathroom or outhouse. We stumbled around in the dark, checking around the buildings to look for any bathrooms signs or guest info, but there was nothing. Eventually we came across a guy who claimed to work there who tried to help us find a way into main building. He took us from door to door and tried entering different codes in each door we came across but none of the codes were right so we couldn’t get in. We gave up after an hour and just went to bed. The next morning we went up to the main building to try our luck with finding a bathroom again, and luckily found a door that was ajar. We looked around a bit and found bathrooms finally, but no signs of anyone in the building. It was creepy, some lights were on like someone had been there, but it was dead silent and we didn’t see anyone all morning. We would have been better off just parking at a rest stop or something, someplace with toilet access at least. Waste of nearly $60, the view was not worth it. Strongly advise against staying here!
