We were here in 2018 and I still love this little campground even at $15 a night. You check yourself in with an envelope and a check...envelopes available on a signpost to your right as you pull in and deposit them in the iron ranger down at the marina by the life jackets. No electricity, no water and no dump but a beautiful spot down a dirt road on Lake Henry nestled in the mountains of the continental Divide. They do have water but not potable. You can dump at the nearby state park or at Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone. This park is a great location for visiting Yellowstone through the west entrance.

This is no longer free!!!
They ask for a $15 fee per overnight- on the honor system.
I would have been happy to pay it, but was frustrated that the water has been shut off, so although we were planning to fill our tank, we couldn’t do that, and there are two out toilets but no toilet paper.
And there wasn’t a fire ring or grill at our site- so the $15 seemed too high when I was expecting free boon docking.
That being said, this is a lovely peaceful place.
There are quite a few sites- they are half gravel and half weeds- but most have a few trees and some privacy.
There are two pit toilets for the whole place- it wasn’t much of a problem except for the toilet paper (bring your own in!) and there are boar launches which means that the place has a lot of activity from
Boaters and fishermen.
It’s gorgeous on the lake with the mountains in the background!

These sites are NOT free - they are $15 per night. They are pretty close together as well - not a lot of privacy. They include a fire pit and picnic table. Not ideal but there are not many other places around.

Nice campground with 30+ sites and you can’t beat the price. Sites are mostly level with some shade and space in between each site.The view of the surrounding area is beautiful, and if you are into lake fishing and or have a boat, this is a great campground.
I think the biggest drawback is the bugs. It’s hard to sit out and enjoy a beautiful day without being chased inside from the bugs.
Even though I had 2-3 bars of T-Mobile LTE, Internet was painfully slow.
I would stay here again in a pinch, but not my first choice (mainly the bugs).

Great location for a Yellowstone visit! Paved road to campground. Boat ramp at end of campground. Located on Henry's Lake. Would definitely come back. County just requests a donation for your stay.

We saw this place 2 months ago, while leaving Centennial Valley, and vowed to stay here! Free, clean vault toilets, water by the host site, with a hose if you need to fill your tank,boat launch with inspection station right there. The campground host, Bud, has been there 27 years, and you couldn't ask for a nicer host! He planted all the trees that make the sites pretty private. Loved it here! Watched the full moon come up, nice reflections on the lake. We stayed in a 24 foot trailer, with lots of room to spare for our truck. All sites are back ins, spaced well, level. We didn't need to monkey with any blocks to level it. We'd stay here again! Even had decent Verizon cell service!
