Campgrounds in this region
Slough Creek campground is a small but very popular campground on the Northeast Entrance Road. Most of the campsites are situated right on the banks of Slough Creek where fishing is a favorite activity by most campers. The sites here fill up very quickly so it is important to get here early to help better your chances for getting the site of your choice. Several of Yellowstone's wolf packs are often spotted in this area, and in Lamar Valley just down the road. A spotting scope and binoculars will help bring in those elusive creatures even closer if you're lucky enough to see one or several in the distant hills and forests. There is a 2.5 mile dirt road that branches off of the Northeast Entrance Road and takes you farther into the peacefulness of the mountains, coming to an end at the Slough Creek Campground. The trailhead for the Slough Creek hiking trail is also located along this dirt road, not far from the campground.
