Super awesome campground in one of America’s greatest national parks! I stayed here for 4 nights a few years back with my family and had a fantastic time. The hiking here is stellar, location is super picturesque, and the wildlife is amazing. One of the days the rangers let us know that a grizzly bear and her cubs were coming through, and they walked right through our campsite! It was a super cool experience, if a bit nerve wracking. I would 100% stay here again if I could get a reservation.
