Red Cliff Campground
 


Share |

Red Cliff is a narrow but beautiful campground which sits on a flat piece of land between the mountainside and the Gallatin River. The sites offer a moderate amount of privacy.



The real attraction to the campground is the Gallatin river and the stunning forest and mountain land in the area. Yellowstone is thirty five miles south on U.S. 191.. Although this campground is next to the busy highway, it feels very remote due to its location in the wild mountains that make up much of this area. Those interested in fishing or river based recreation will find this to be an ideal location. The Gallatin river is easily wadeable here, and the fishing is of world class quality. Hiking is nearby as well, with a trailhead at the southern end of the campground.

If you run out of available sites in the Gallatin Canyon campground complex, Red Cliff is your best bet to find an open spot as there are simply more sites.
