The good news is the location is close to Yellow Stone for easy visit to the National Park. The bad news it everything else that goes with it! First the that is shown on the website is not what is at the location. It is located in a forest area with parking not to far apart from RV to RV. Second, everyone was having problems hooking up to the sewer pipe, because they are high off the ground, so when you empty you pipe it tends to flow back into your RV.

Stayed for 3 nights. The spot is less than 5 minutes from the south entrance to Yellowstone and is north of Grand Teton National Park. This is a hidden gem. It was my first experience in a camper, but was amazing. The person maintaining the area was truly awesome. He helped us with some items and also gave us great info on spots to visit in the park. Overall, I would definitely go back.

Stayed for a week in June most all of the units were available. Fishing was great cost 5 dollars inside the park. Soon as you enter the park take the first right and park in the picnic area saw a huge grizzly every day in the field across the river. If you fish walk up the trail by the river until another river flows into it. Caught 19 trout and several whitefish in a matter of an hour. Now back to the trailers they were clean in great shape the bathrooms were small or I am to big. So I just used the ones at the camp ground. Bring what food you need because the store is very expensive there.

Just after we arrived Joe came over to check how things were and made us feel at home. The trailers are well kept. I did have to ask at the resort information desk how to find the trailers. At first I questioned the nightly cost until I found that RV full hook ups in the camp ground were $60 per night.

The campers are no longer at Lionshead. They are now located at Yellowstone Holiday RV Resort on Hebgen Lake. Much nicer location with a marina and great fishing. Also, Flagg Ranch now has 10 units. My wife and I are the hosts.
