They make you sign a long list of conditions when you arrive but do not give you a copy for reference. We set up our dog fence and just when I was finished a young lady, who looked like a college student working there in the Summer, came up to me and abruptly, in an authoritarian manner told me they don't allow dog fences. She told me that they, "have had dogs get out and get hit on the road out front, people leave there dogs alone in the fenced area which can also cause problems". Just a boat load of justifications for why they don't allow dog fences. So I told her I would comply and take down the fence, but I'm not happy with the rules. Then she saw that we had some solar lights with stakes that I had put in the ground a few inches and she told me to be careful and not put those in very far as they have had tent campers punch into the water line because it's buried so shallow. That's when I knew I was dealing with poor management and an authoritarian woman child throwing her weight around. She then left, I never spoke to her again and the rest of our experience was okay. In summary, we like to stay at places that aren't so strict with rules that punish good people for what a few bad people do. As far as punching into water lines, if someone breaches a water line because the infrastructure was so poorly built that's not my problem. That' just the cost of doing business. Yellowrock is a nice setting, but my main problems and complaints are. 1. They are not clear on their rules and do NOT give you a copy of the huge page of rules you sign off on. 2. Unprofessional attitude. The young lady who let me know I was not in compliance with their book of rules could have been more tactful. Given all of this we will NOT return. We are just trying to enjoy some outdoor time and relax with our dogs in a nice setting when we are out in our RV. It is not worth it to be lectured and have to put up with a bunch of rules that impede our ability to enjoy ourselves.

    As noted by others, Travelers Rest State Park contains the only physically verified campsite of the…read moreLewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806. The Park is well worth a visit if you are nearby. There is a ver nice interpretive center, walking trails and access to Lolo creek. I particularly enjoyed the Creek access. Lewis and Clark camped here twice. Once on the first leg of their journey traveling west and then on their return east. On their return the expedition temporarily split up to explore independently. This was the place they split so this is indeed a historical spot. I visited with my children and grandchildren. The kids particularly enjoyed wading in Lolo Creek as did our Labrador Retriever Gigi who retrieved lots of sticks. I am very glad we took the time to visit and highly recommend Travelers Rest Park.

    This is only the second site along the Lewis and Clark trail where physical evidence of the Corps…read moreof Discovery has been found. This is one of the few spots where the Corps stopped both on the westward and eastbound legs of their journey. It was a serendipity discovery made when archelogists were trying to calibrate an instrument that detected magnetic anomolies. They moved it about 300 feet from a power line and turned it on. Amazingly, the instrument detected metal traces. By moving it around they found a rectangular area of trace mercury depositions. They had found the latrine for the Corps! The mercury was from soldiers taking a laxative pill called "Dr. Rush's Thunderbolts" that contained mercurous chloride (calomel). In the weeks the Corps camped nearby, the members of the expedition "excreted" enough of the medication to permit a thin layer to be detected. By referring to the Army Field Manual used by Lewis, who did everything by the book, they were able to find the camp, just 200 feet away. There they uncovered some bits of melted lead dropped from making bullets and found evidence of a blacksmith operation. There is an small museum that tells more of the story of Lewis and Clark. Occasionally, you may also find local reenactors who have set up a replica of what the Corps of Discovery's camp might have looked like. When in Lolo, visit Traveler's Rest!
