Fisherman's Paradise

The site is directly off the highway on a gravel turnoff. You will hear 18 wheelers the entire night. You are literally sleeping 20 yards from a major highway. The pictures of the dude relaxing in his hammock are a joke. Also, the host never responded back to my phone call or text when I was trying to inquire about the location.

Fisherman's Paradise is a great location for those who are wanting to fish the nearby river or explore yellowstone. It's more of a site for tent camping as there are no current roads to drive further back on the property.

I guess if you like an unkept over-grown plot of land directly on the highway, no privacy, in someone’s backyard then this is for you.

The area was beautiful but not very private. The camping spot is literally feet away from the highway. We used our RV for privacy from the road and made the best of it! The land is really pretty! The kids set up tents back in the wooded area and had a great time exploring. The noise from the road was really loud. We had booked this spot for 4 nights to stay here while visiting Yellowstone but only stayed 1 night.
If you camp here I would recommend ear plugs!

This site was right off the road but we live on the highway anyway so it was no big deal to us. It had trees that provided shade if you backed into the area between the trees. The price was very reasonable. Henry's Fork River was right across the street. Read the directions very close as it has no sign or markings.

Thanks Wayne, glad you enjoyed it. I have updated the listing with more information on the location!

I wanted to have a private place to stay away from the huddle of Yellowstone campgrounds and I couldn't have asked for more privacy than I got Patrick was very accommodating and gave great directions and when I still couldn't find it he steered me right to the spot the place was well kept up and clean and within walking distance was a general store and the Trout Hunter which is a must to eat at kinda pricey but wow, thanks Patrick I'll be back

I’d like to start by saying that my fiancé and I truly enjoyed this campsite and we would definitely stay here again. We had a great time as it was our first stop on our camping trip.

Pros:
Great directions, you can’t miss it!
There is ample parking for whatever you’re driving since it’s a pullout.
Nice spot to set up your tent surrounded by trees to give privacy. We were also able to just leave our tent setup and go for the day and it was fine leaving it there.
There’s no other campers nearby.

Cons:
Located right next to the main road to Yellowstone so it can be noisy at night. We didn’t mind too much because we had ear plugs.
It was 30+ minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone and after a long day the drive felt pretty far.

Miscellaneous:
This has NOTHING to do with the campsite/review but there were a ton of big daddy long legs 😂

It is just a spot off a main road to park overnight

This site costs way too much for what is offered. For $40 a night, there should at least be a good deal of privacy and seclusion, and the site is literally 40 feet from US-20, what semi trucks driving by at 75 MPH all night. There is also no bathroom, no picnic table, no showers, no grill, and no place for a fire pit. There’s barely any part of the site that’s cleared, either, so you have to put your tent as close to the road as possible. For $4 a night, this might be acceptable. But for $40 a night, it becomes the most expensive, worst campsite I’ve used. I’ve camped all over, too. I wish I had better things to say about this site, but honestly, I don’t.
