First of all. These “sites” are not very level and they are more an extension of the parking lot. They are not right on the river as advertised. The river is down a steep bluff. You can’t see or hear it. Pickup truck left the lot around six filled by trash removal at 7. BTW. The sites are right near the dumpster. So that is another thing. The sites do have water, power and sewer as advertised. At 49 or 50 a night it might be a reasonable bet but at $105 it was a mistake.

The location just along the river was nice. The restaurant was a slice of heaven after a long drive through Yellowstone. As for RV sites, it was a very tight and tiny shared spot (literally backed into the neighbors yard) . Our 24' RV barley fit. Lack of a restroom/shower was a bit of a downer. The property was well maintained and was very relaxing. Not bad for a quick overnight stay. Would have been disappointed if we had a lager RV or planned on staying for multiple nights.
