Boundary Creek Meadows is a designated backcountry campsite in Yellowstone National Park, located in the remote Bechler region accessible via trails from Idaho. This primitive site sits within the Boundary Creek Trail system, which traverses pine forest, flat grasslands of Bechler Meadows, rocky canyons, and wooded plateaus. The area serves as a base for accessing nearby waterfalls including Dunanda Falls and Silver Scarf Falls. As one of 293 designated backcountry campsites in the park, advance permit reservations are required through Recreation.gov. The campsite provides a food storage pole for bear-safe food storage, and some sites in this area feature pit toilets. Campers must be self-sufficient with water treatment capabilities as natural water sources require filtering or treatment. The Bechler region is accessed from the Bechler Ranger Station, approximately 26 miles east of Ashton, Idaho, and features more streams, creeks, lakes and waterfalls than any other area in Yellowstone.
