Summary
No amenities are provided: no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups, so campers must be fully self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace. Accessible by boat on Yellowstone Lake within Yellowstone National Park, it provides a remote, scenic camping experience ideal for solitude and wildlife viewing. The vibe is tranquil and wild, with forested shores and expansive lake views. Backpackers and paddlers enjoy nearby access to Yellowstone’s backcountry. The best time to visit is late June through September for milder weather and navigable lake conditions. A backcountry permit is required.
