And how far from town.

All I can say to people who plan to camp anywhere in Montana, because we have bears almost anywhere (black bears are ubiquitous) you should ditch the tent. Hard sided campers and trailers will soon become mandatory as they are on the east side of the park over by Cooke City and southward. The bears are growing in number and so are the numbers of tourists wanting to see them. They don't have a sense of humor and if they decide that you need to get beat up or they want what you have, they will go for it.

So tent camping is going to become passe eventually in this area, please be prepared if you plan to camp in ecosystems with bears.
