Campground details
Setting
Slough Creek Campground sits at 6,250 feet elevation on Yellowstone's Northern Range at the end of a two-mile dirt road, near where Slough Creek joins the Lamar River. Suited for tents and small RVs, the facility offers 16 campsites equipped with seasonal vault toilets, drinking water, trash collection, and food storage lockers. The campground sits at the trailhead for the Slough Creek Trail, which follows an old wagon road into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, providing access to stream fishing and wildlife habitat frequented by bison, elk, bears, and wolves.
Getting there: Slough Creek Campground is located about 7 miles from the Tower-Roosevelt junction within the park's Northern Range.
