Field notes
35m north of Gardiner / 45m from BZN
From Bozeman Airport (BZN), take I-90 East to Livingston, then follow US-89 South through Paradise Valley to Pine Creek Road. The camp road is gravel and can be bumpy; drive slowly. Gardiner and the Yellowstone North Entrance are a direct 35-minute drive south.
Wind Prep & River Trips
Paradise Valley is known for strong wind gusts; bring windproof layers and tie down tent flaps before sleeping. Local river floating and rafting outfitters can arrange pick-ups directly near the camp area.
No Power Outlets & Wind Noise
Tents do not have electrical outlets (only USB battery packs for phone charging). Due to the open valley floor, wind gusts can shake the canvas structures at night, creating significant noise that can disturb light sleepers.
