Slough Creek Campground, located in the scenic northwest of Yellowstone National Park, offers a remote escape for camping enthusiasts. With only 16 sites, the campground provides a more secluded experience, making it ideal for stargazing under dark skies. This site is nestled alongside Slough Creek, famous for its fishing opportunities. Nearby trails lead to prime wildlife viewing areas, including Lamar Valley’s diverse fauna. Visitors should be prepared for rustic amenities, as there’s no potable water available, and pit toilets are provided. Remember that this area is also within bear country, so precautions like bear spray are essential for a safe experience.
