Is the Verizon signal reliable enough to stream consistently here? I work remotely and would love to check this place...

This was an awesome spot to spend several hot days. There was a nice breeze coming off the water. Lots of vehicles in and out throughout the day - 8:00 to 5:00 ish - then quiet in the evenings. A few other campers but not at all busy between Sunday and Thursday

Moved to a quieter corner, hoping to not get surrounded.
A Thursday night. Maybe the popularity of Campendium???

I felt very safe in this immaculate campground with clean pit toilet and gorgeous views! With my window covers in and white noise app, I didn’t hear the train. Slept like a rock. Only a couple other campers. I’ve saved this spot to return with my husband someday!

We were at Otter Creek at 8 september.
The campground has a lot of space.
There is no possibility to hike.
Toilets are clean. People are friendly.
In the night however there was a lot of noise from the train. I could not sleep well.
And the next morning there were two turds of dogpoe before the door of our RV 😤

In person, the site is even more bare bones than it looks in the pictures. Good for a place to park, and maybe to swim when it is hot, but that's about it. Lots of room on the left side if you want your own space. Smaller circle to the right if you prefer neighbors/car camp. Lots of field for dogs and kids to let off steam if needed. T... more

Lots of room on the left side if you want your own space. Smaller circle to the right if you prefer neighbors/car camp. Lots of field for dogs and kids to let off steam if needed. The drive in is through a nice neighborhood. I didn't feel unsafe camping alone. Train in the distance.

Good place to spend the night or several. Less then 10 minutes from the freeway. There is a pit toilet. Lots of room for any size rig. We are in a 40’ fifth wheel. Will definitely stay again if I’m the area

Two others here one in an RV parked in the open but many spots with some shade.
Pups swam in the river.
No real place to take a hike but big field for pups to play.
Good for an overnight.
Heard trains throughout the night but since I grew up with it didn’t bother me

there were 5 other campers here when we stayed. A lot of area to park with only a few actual sites but a lot of open area. right along the river and easy access to water. Nice spot for kids to ride bike on the gravel road. Clean and quiet.

We arrived a couple week after the 2022 spring runoff that closed Yellowstone, and the river is still WAY too high to fish. That said, this spot is so gorgeous -- right on the river with mountain views and rolling green fields. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and got a shaded spot right on the river.

We arrived a couple week after the 2022 spring runoff that closed Yellowstone, and the river is still WAY too high to fish. That said, this spot is so gorgeous -- right on the river with mountain views and rolling green fields. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and got a shaded spot right on the river. Only 1 other rig here at the time (probably something to do with the river being largely unfishable). There are probably 3-4 shaded spots, so not too many. A non-shaded spot might get pretty hot, but there is plenty of space if that's not an issue. Easy 3 miles into Big Timber. Really easy access with easy turnarounds, good roads, any size rig will fit. Good Verizon, no booster needed for remote work with video calls.

Spot right on the Yellowstone river, there’s only a few designated spots but there’s a giant diesels you can park in it could fit tons of rigs. Pit toilet on site. 3 bars of service, lots of locals coming in and out. And park rangers every night running tags. Would stay here again. 7 day limit
