Pilot Creek access provides free dispersed camping and trailhead parking along the Beartooth Highway (US-212), approximately 9 miles east of Cooke City, with a vault toilet and multiple undeveloped campsites accommodating both RVs and tents.

The area sits across from the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River and serves as the starting point for the Pilot Creek Trail, offering easy access to backcountry exploration with no permit required.

Campsites must be at least 100 feet from water sources, and there is no cell service in the area.
