This is a lovely park, with great friendly staff. General store has all your needs in case you forgot something. It's the view that will make you want to extend your stay. The lake is full of trout and the sunsets are divine........but then of course this is Montana. Snow is melting rapidly, so there is the odd area of mud which is expected. 18 miles from the Yellowstone west gate which makes for a great day trip or three. The town of West Yellowstone has lots going on with a market, lots of restaurants and all the t-shirt shops and fishing shops you will need. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pricy, but the view is beautiful. It is quiet, and peaceful, but it is only about 1/3 filled. Nice grassy sites, but no pool or other family-friendly facilities. Wi-fi is excellent, cable TV is advertised, but not available yet. If you don't have a satellite dish, you only get 1 or 2 channels, and they sometimes are not clear and/or have occasional static. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the previous rating, we stayed in one of the upgraded sites (not paved), some of the older sites were close together, only a couple of feet between slides. If they are going to upgrade the whole park, it will be even better. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Unable to get a site anywhere within the town of West Yellowstone, we decided to stay here, about 7 miles west of town. The park is located about a mile farther down from the KOA. I must say, it is a pleasant surprise. It's an older campground, quiet and peaceful. Most of the sites are side by side, but it doesn't feel excessively crowded. The playground set is small and needs a coat of paint. There is no pool, but who needs a pool when they've got the sprinklers running! The restrooms are clean and there are two laundries on site. Only $0.75 to dry a whole load. One of the workers shared with me that KOA has bought this campground and there is evidence that they are working on sections of the park, updating the electric boxes and widening the sites. Right now the sites are all grassy with gravel roads, but there are plans to pave the sites. I hope the new construction doesn't interfere with the deer, elk and bison who travel the fields nearby. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Don't be fooled by the picture and info on their website. This is just a dumpy gravel parking lot behind a motel. RVs are packed in side by side, and your sewer hookup can be next to the neighbor's front door. Half the pull-thrus are over the sidewalk and only if it's not blocked by street parking. Noisy trucks rumble by at night, and area doesn't look safe. It is fairly close to town and the tourist traps. Bathrooms are clean once, then a mess rest of the day. Forget the laundry room. No host on site and no one from motel office comes over; they don't care. This place gets 2 stars only because it offers "free" wifi and cable tv. Look for a nicer place, avoid this one if you can. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Hey folks, there is a reason this place is almost $20 cheaper than all the other area parks. It met our needs (FHU, cable, and WIFI) perfectly for one night before heading west. As noted, it is small, unappealing, and larger RVs and/or those with toads probably should not even attempt to stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Caution here!! Be very careful to get a receipt from the office which is in the Brandin Iron Inn Motel. They told us at check in that we would get a receipt when we checked out but the manager, Karen, said our bill would be $86.13. When I went to check out the young man working that morning ran my card again. After we had moved on to the next town I checked my bank account online and found I had also been charged in a separate charge for $114.00. After many phone calls to the office talking to Karen, the manager, and other clerks, I still have no assurance that they will take actions to correct their mistake. Now I have my bank working on it to dispute this erroneous charge. I would never stay there again. There's a much prettier park just 8 miles west of West Yellowstone on highway 287. It's right on a lake. Wish we had seen it first but we came into town on a different highway. I believe this park nice park is called Yellowstone Holiday. Anyhow always get a receipt when you pay your bill at check in--painful lesson learned here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A small dumpy, dirty, heavily wooded park. Don't expect to use your satellite TV. We were there the first week they had their Wi-Fi hooked up. It didn't work unless you were parked right next to the antenna. On the plus side, it's relatively inexpensive, small, and quiet. It's one of four parks in town. We moved across town after one day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground suited our need. We’re fulltimers so we have stayed in many, many campgrounds through out the country. This wasn’t the best we’ve ever stayed at, but it’s far better than the worst. We weren't looking for anything in the way of atmosphere or amenities as we had planned to spend as much time as possible in Yellowstone. As noted in the previous review, a neighbors sewer line was very near our motorhome’s steps. We found the staff at the motel friendly and accommodating. One saving grace was the free breakfast served at the motel and campground. Quick and easy. Nothing fancy, but it was a welcome change from fixing our own or looking for a restaurant. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly, very close to Yellowstone National Park. Plenty of street parking for personal vehicles or tow trailers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Restrooms & showers were clean. Hot water, shower stalls and dressing area adequate (nice if bigger). The site is level with gravel. Trees between site. Whole park is gravel and between city streets. Sites are not over large but we have enough room with a picnic table. Internet available for a price. We had an air card (AT&T). It was very slow but the library has free Wifi. Motorcycles and noisy truck early morning. Park has lights but not over lit. Owners are nice, seem to be trying to make it a good park. It is in town and looks a little more spacious than the other in town parks. We stayed nine days because we couldn't get reservations in Yellowstone National Park. We'll be moving back over in a couple of days. It would probably work as well to stay here as in the park except you would be a long way from ranger night programs and have to get up early for ranger morning programs. National Park speed limits are max of 45 and you have to go a minimum of 15 miles just to get to the first area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground with lots of trees. It's location is terrific. There aren't a lot of campgrounds in West Yellowstone, but we found this one to be the best. Ken, the manager, is a terrific tour guide and very knowledgeable of Yellowstone National Park. Pets are only allowed on the RV sites, but not in the tent sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a pleasant suprise this park turned out to be! The manager of the park is a super friendly guy with wonderful information about the West Yellowstone area. The bathrooms and showers here are sparkling clean. They have a wonderful little game room for the kids. We were in a 26 foot travel trailer and we had no problem with the size of the site, but I can see how they might be tight for bigger rigs with slideouts. Overall this is a great campground with a warm, family friendly atmosphere. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The helpfulness of Ken outweighed the fact that this is a very small park. It is conveniently located in town. The owners did everything they could to make our stay wonderful. We would definitely stay here again. We had 50 amp service and cable, so we were happy campers. And the price was reasonable for this town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Hospitality! Hospitality! Hospitality! This was the best choice in West Yellowstone for us. Our entire family met at the park for 5 days. We rented 2 pull-through's, one cabin & an on-site RV. The shower's were squeaky clean. The laundry room was clean and there were 6 washer's & 6 dryers. The #5 cabin had a queen bed and also was very clean. The game room was a favorite for the kids. The owner was easily accessable and had great tips about where to fish and shop. Quiet hours were enforced. We forgot our coaxial cable and our bbq wasn't adequate but the owner helped us right out by loaning us the items from the park. It was a very enjoyable stay. The sites were slightly skinny but in spite of that we would definitely choose this park over any other we drove by in West Yellowstone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We went to this park because of all the great reviews. I don't know if all those people were camping for the very first time and don't know any better or what. I agree with the most recent reviewer. Terribly overpriced. You need to get one of their high end expensive pull thrus if you want to fit. We have a 37' Class A. The Wi-Fi is such a joke, and to actually charge for it is ludicrous. The back in sites are OK if you are shorter than we are, but for the price I would expect to see more space between sites. Kind of close together for this kind of money. It's hard to find decent camping in the Yellowstone area, and I guess that is why people go to this campground, and they must rate it highly because there just isn't a lot else. A rip off. Won't stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Still a nice park but they've gone over the top on pricing. In addition to a steep price they now charge for very poor, weak wi-fi. And, for a park this size in a cold climate, you would think they would have propane but they do not. When we were there they were about one-third empty, some of these vacancies I am sure is due to their new policy of you get less and pay more. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park and I would have given it a 10 except for the mosquitoes. They water the grass every night which seems to give the mosquitoes a good place to breed. You couldn't be outside without a screen room. Otherwise we loved it. It is within walking distance of the Grizzly/Wolf Discovery Center which I heartily recommend. The pull through sites are long and will handle any size rig. You should have reservations however! The staff is friendly and accommodating. It is also satellite friendly. I would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a great campground. We were here for 7 nights and just loved it. The office staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. The WiFi internet service worked very well. Our site was very level and the entire park was clean as a pin and well maintained. The other nice thing was that it was only 4 blocks from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. How convenient. We would recommend Grizzly to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for a week in a 31' motorhome. This is the nicest park we have stayed in after using parks in more than 25 states. It is so convenient not only to Yellowstone NP but also within walking distance of town and museums. All of the sites are beautifully landscaped with blacktop picnic table areas and gravel sites. It is surrounded on three sides by National Forest so there is a wonderful area to walk your pets. Very well maintained, free coffee in the am each day ! Definitely recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park, good sites, helpful staff. It was raining when we arrived and two friendly staff helped me with backing in my 5th wheel. Location is great, close proximity to Yellowstone west gate. Village of West Yellowstone very nice but restaurants seemed pricey. Sites are gravel with adjacent grass area PVC type tables which look like new. Good store with good supply of items and RV needs. Only dislike was the WiFi. For charging the most daily site fees and then to only offer 15 minutes of one-time WiFi time seems almost insulting. Especially when WiFi is becoming so commonplace these days. That's why I gave it a 9. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This really was a nice campground, very clean and friendly staff. The nice big grass area and playground were exactly what my kids needed. We actually skipped out on a day of touring the park because the kids were having fun and needed some downtime. I agree with a previous review, the wifi was insulting. If you have a "premium" site you get the wifi for free, however all sites were pricey and to pay additional irritated me. If we are ever back in West Yellowstone, I think we might try to find a place that is more "campy", if you know what I mean. This was more of an RV resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well, although it’s been years since I’ve been there, I continuously compare these campgrounds to Disney’s Fort Wilderness because that was by far, the best I’ve been to. Grizzly is probably the closest I’ve seen so far. For such a large campground, it was well maintained and the staff couldn’t have been any friendlier. The bathrooms were spotless and although there were several throughout the property, I was a bit skeptical when I saw only 2 showers and 1 toilet in the men’s room. There must be a lot more bathrooms than I thought, because during my stay, I never waited for the toilet or shower. It could have also been that we were the only small trailer in the park and everyone else had facilities on their RV’s, but regardless, there was no waiting. Also, at each bathroom was a kitchen sink that my wife found incredibly useful and much easier than washing pots in the tiny sink in our PUP. Being my first time camping at Yellowstone, I’m not sure if this is a common practice, but you need a code to get into the bathrooms, thus helping to eliminate unauthorized visitors. If for some strange reason you get tired of Yellowstone, West Yellowstone was a surprising little town. Between the IMAX Theater, Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center and shopping, you could easily stay busy for a day outside the park. Although they do roll up the sidewalks at 10:00 PM, you can always catch a midnight snack at the New York Diner, they stay open till 3:00 AM. I strongly recommend the GPS tour of Yellowstone. It’s available at the front desk and just plugs into your cigarette lighter, sticks to your windshield and off you go. If you need help, just ask any one of the friendly staff. The voice prompts give you a private tour of Yellowstone with plenty of information that made our trip even more interesting. There are plenty of tips on often overlooked turn-outs throughout the park and even lets you know when you are approaching an area known for a particular animal. Additionally, there is an option for the GPS to play very soothing music that fits well with the tour. We especially liked the GPS tour we could move at our own pace and if we weren’t interested in a certain attraction, we just didn’t stop, unlike when on a bus tour. It was well worth the $50 for 24 hours. Oh, I finally thought of a negative point here. There’s not much shade, so use your awning or bring an eating tent. Did I mention that the campground is spotless? We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
As a big time dry-camp/boonies camper I expect a lot from any commercial campground I stay at; VERY few live up to my definition of “value for the money”. With that said, Grizzly lived up to all the hype/stellar recommendations on this site. The facility and grounds were about totally immaculate. The absolute epitome of professionalism and helpfulness was shown from the staff each and every time we interacted with them. Few minor negatives that keep me from giving them a “10” are: Some of the equipment in the kids play room was is so-so condition, cable tv reception was a bit fuzzy, and charging for wifi (@ $4 a day) is a bit out of line with what most RV parks offer as a standard amenity nowadays. This park offers the odd combination of being very family friendly, pet friendly, yet also attracts higher end clientele, it’s a great thing. Awesome location, sites, staff, and clean cut/respectful customers make this park the gold standard in my opinion. Would stay here again in a New York minute. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground that is close to town and entrance to Yellowstone. We stayed here for three nights. Had a back-in site on the east edge of the campground. Seems to be more crowed on the west side. They have expanded the place since we were there in 2000. It was quieter the last time we were there, but it's still OK. Very friendly staff in the office, always poking jokes. Must try their free capuccino in the morning, thick and creamy! Bought the Huckleberry ice-cream in the store, enjoyed them very much. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice, big rig friendly, park which is well located within walking distance to most of town. While it is clean, neat, and has good sized spots for rigs of all sizes, it is costly for a park with no pool/spa/hot tub. The work campers here are great: both friendly and hard working. Had some work done on my rig by Repairs by O'B: he was great. We will return here, because it has many features we like. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We made a reservation here for arrival on a Saturday. On Friday we were delayed and called to change the reservation to arrive Monday. Because I called at 1:15pm and the policy is that cancellations must be made by 11:00am, they would not accomodate me and charged me one day, $47+ cancellation fee, even though I was not actually cancelling, but rather just delaying my arrival. I talked to the manager, Mark, and he would not vary from the policy and was not very nice. I cancelled all of my reservation and found Valley View RV Park in Island Park with all the amenities that Grizzly has at $13 Passport America. Also, Valley View said that if I needed to change or cancel they would appreciate a call by 6:00pm the previous day. So it actually worked out better except I lost the $47. It probably is a very nice park, but make sure that if you want to change your arrival you call by 11:00am and not 11:01. I certainly wouldn't stay here in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground within walking distance to just about everything in West Yellowstone. Extra large, level pull thru sites and very clean bathrooms and showers. A great place to stay in West Yellowstone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park. Well kept. Friendly staff. We preferred a back in so we could back up to the national forest. Great dog walk area back there. We are having a little problem fitting our jeep on the site because our sewer hose is about 25' and it needs to be longer on this site so that we can back our 37' rv back further. Cannot believe they charge for the WIFI. It is $4 a day and it is bad, don't waste your money. West Yellowstone is a great town with lots going on and a lot of shops. Very rustic. Love this area. Grizzly is the nicest rv park in the area and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family and I had a great time and all loved the park. It was VERY clean and the staff helpful and friendly. It would have been nice if the park had a pool and or hot tub but we still loved our stay. I would also like to take this time to say thank you to our neighbors we met while there, you guy were great!!!! thank you for the carrots and I hope you made it to the Tetons. Thank you for a great time and we’ll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a wonderful park! This is our kind of camping. The sites were level, patios paved, grass at the sites. The streets were wide, paved and easy to maneuver. The park is well taken care of, the staff very efficient and friendly, and though a bit high price-wise, it is to be expected only 4 blocks from Yellowstone. We would have enjoyed a pool and hot tub and this is our only suggestion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a wonderful RV park. Very well maintained, beautiful sites, and the facilities were clean. The location is very close to restaurants and shopping. I would highly recommend this park. We had a great time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Came here after a couple nights at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone. We called this the "Posh" RV resort at the average rigs pulling in were the $250K motorhomes pulling Hummers as toads. There were many tents, 5th wheels and trailers as well, but it was more "upscale." The staff was very friendly, facilities were very clean, and the fresh coffee in the main building was a nice touch. We backed up to the National Forest and had some great mountain bike rides. Cable worked well, and the WiFi worked well. We paid the $4 for a days' worth of access. I didn't really feel like the kids could go out and play - maybe that was just my impression. The staff is constantly patrolling the area, so we were always afraid we were doing something wrong. It's a lovely RV Park, and based on what we saw of the RV parks in West Yellowstone, this one is the ONLY one we would stay at. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Although we share the opinions of others with regard to the facilities offered at this campground, we did not have a good experience with the campground managers. Upon our arrival we were informed that "for some reason" one of their clerks had changed our arrival date to the day before. I had their confirmation letter in hand stating that we were to arrive when we did. They had given away our pull-through site, and told us they had a back-in site available. They wanted us to take the back-in site for the first two days and then move to a pull-through site for our last three days. Once we were settled into the back-in, we did not relish having to pack up and move again in two days. We told the manager that we would prefer to just stay where we were. We were told that we could not, because there was a group of two coming in behind us, and they needed the back-in site for that twosome. The more we thought about this, the more we realized that they were expecting us to interrupt our vacation and take the time to move sites in order to compensate for a mistake THEY had made on our reservation. When my husband told them we would not move, one of the managers told us that if we did not move to the other site in two days we would be asked to leave the campground. Two hours later, both managers visited our motorhome and told us we could stay where we were. This situation caused us a great deal of anxiety. If this happened to us, it can happen to you. Beware. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the best parks we have ever stayed in. Sites were of good width for a park this size. Sites were easy to get in and out of with a big rig. Bathrooms and Laundry were immaculate. Had a decent playground for kids and a well stocked store. We enjoyed the Mountain Bike trails that were right next to the park. Staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions to attractions outside of the RV park. The park was 4 blocks from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The only complaint was that they watered the grass nightly, but considering the drought they are in, green grass was nice to see. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground with a convenient location. The grounds are beautiful with paved roads, paved campsites with a grass area at each campsite. Located in the town of West Yellowstone you are close to groceries, restaurants, IMAX theater, and it is only one mile to the west entrance. The only drawback is that the trees are still young and there is not much shade. I highly recommend this RV park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of the nicest and cleanest parks we have stayed in. The staff were helpful and always cheerful. On our next trip to Yellowstone, we will stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best staff of any campground I've ever stayed at! Park is well laid out and easy to get around and find your site. They have 4 registration lanes separate from the main in/out access, the dump station is also separate from both of the above, which keeps traffic moving well. There seems to be a lot of turnover here so the layout is excellent. There's washers and dryers located in the bathhouses throughout the park, $2 to wash and $.25/10 min to dry. I thought the park was very expensive for what you get, but everything in Yellowstone/West Yellowstone is expensive ($21 for a large pizza for instance, don't be looking for the dollar menu at McD's either). It's a short walk or bicycle ride into town, which is very nice. Be aware, you are only 4 blocks from the entrance to YNP, but it's 14 more miles to the closest visitor's center, so no matter where you're going in YNP, it's a 28 mile round trip to get to the main loop road. All that being said, it's a beautiful campground and the staff is the best. Yellowstone is AWESOME and I would definitely make Grizzly my base camp for my next visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What can I say that just about everyone else hasn't already said, this park is very nice, the staff went out of their way to be accommodating, the facilities are first rate, the location is beautiful and the campground is 5 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This beautiful park is a stone’s throw from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The park is carefully landscaped but surprisingly short of trees among the RV's – not much shade to speak of. We parked in a back-in site (#55) which backed right up to the Gallatin National Forest, perfect neighbors for our 9 night stay. The graveled sites have a nice long patio on the curb side, a separate graveled parking area for tow vehicle and a fairly wide lawn expanse on the street side – amply wide to provide a sense of space and privacy. The park accepts mail for campers, and offers pay WiFi (service by Nomad) with a good signal to our site. No garbage pickup at the site, but our dumpster was nearby. There was no traffic, jet or train noise. No large grocery stores or Wal-mart, but there are two small local markets in West Yellowstone. Between the two markets are a myriad of interesting and eclectic shops selling local artisans ware and wonderful furnishings & clothing. There of lots of dining choices, from sliced to order sandwiches to a sit-down steak house. The town (including a full-service post office) is within easy walking distance from the park. Park is pet friendly and vehicle washing is permitted. This is a nice place to stay while you visit Yellowstone National Park and a bit further (80 miles) to visit Grand Teton National Park. The park is very clean, inviting and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when southern Montana is on our itinerary. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Like many others have said - a great RV park. Entrance has large lanes to park while registering. Signs that direct you to the park from West Yellowstone are not easy to see, but the town is small and the park is hard to miss. Game room for the kids was great! Showers and laundry room was very clean and well kept. Coffee and TV in the conference room each morning was a nice touch. We didn't make use of the Wi-Fi while we were there. There are sprinkers in parts of the park and you need to remember to cover or put up any lawn chairs or the next morning they will be soaked. The park made for a great base camp while we explored Yellowstone and the surrounding area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Well run park. Nice to have the town so close when you take a day off from sightseeing. The sites are long, but kind of close. Worked great as a base camp. Kid friendly, with a small playground and an area to play catch. Trees are small, providing no shade- but I saw lots of DirecTV dishes. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and the employees patrolled often. We were here 7 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Like everyone else, this is the best rv park in which my wife and I have stayed. Excellent location, and worth the money. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of the nicest campgrounds that we have stayed in. It is convenient to West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. The staff was really helpful. They did everything they could to accommodate you. The park itself was excellent. The showers and rest rooms were very clean. Would differently stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our first time to stay at this park, but will return probably many times and stay much longer. We had only made reservations for 3 nights and were sorry that we had not planned to stay longer. The manicured lawns, the excellent staff, the clean bathrooms as well as the convenience of this park makes it terrific. It is within walking distance to the town of West Yellowstone and can book a tour into Yellowstone National Park if you do not want to drive in yourself. Some people might complained of how much it cost, but I would rather pay a little more and have the opportunity to stay in such a fantastic, well run Park. We will be back!! We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Awesome Awesome Awesome this park has it all and more. Staff outstanding. Staff helped us setup a rental car. National forest to walk dogs a big big plus for us. Had an end site with which allowed more room, stayed in site 164. Close to walk to town and Yellowstone. This park I would return too many times. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park. Pull throughs are long and of adequate width. Friendly staff. WiFi works well. Park is a 10 on visual appeal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with spacious sites. Pads are gravel and are surrounded by grass and pine trees. Our site looked out directly on the woods. The trees on our site were sufficiently far away that we were able to extend our awnings without interference. Excellent location less than one mile from West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Park is walking distance to main shopping/dining areas in West Yellowstone. There is a nice area in the main office building that offers free coffee, cappucino, and hot chocolate wand here you can read or watch TV while waiting for your laundry to wash/dry. We paid $33 per night (up to 5/31) and $43 per night (6/1 and after). This includes a 10% Good Sam discount. We stayed here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park that caters to both large MH and trailers. Best spots were the back-ins as they back up the Yellowstone National Forest. Large sites with all the hookups. Excellent shower and laundry facilities. Only thing that keeps it from being a 10 is the high cost of WIFI ($4 p/day) and no hot tub/spa. We used it as a base and had easy access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a true 10-10-10 park!! Sites are long and level with plenty of room between your neighbors. Sites are well groomed with paved patios and picnic tables. The office staff is very professional on check in and can answer all your questions. The only down side to the park, is you have to pay for wifi which we feel should be free. The downtown area of West Yellowstone, MT is only a short two block walk from the campground. We stayed here in a motorhome and will stay here again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This really is a great park. We will be back. We stayed six days the hosts live on site and are knowledgable about the area and local food and attractions. Local restaurants will deliver food to your site in the park. Free cable is great. We did not use the WIFI but were told by others it worked great. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
One of the nicest Parks we have stayed at. Very clean, the friendliest staff around. Easy to get in and out of, close to Yellowstone West Entrance. We would stay here again without hesitation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground but pretty full. Probably because it's close to the west entrance of the park. Everything was clean and safe. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground. Very friendly staff and clean facilities. The park is just outside the west entrance gate to Yellowstone National Park. Lots to do in the area and the little town of West Yellowstone is great! Sites are somewhat close together, but you still have a nice grassy area and plenty of room for awnings, etc. I only gave it a 9 since there is no pool for the kiddos, but other than that it's a super family friendly park. Great campground. We'll definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed two nights to do some exploring. The place is nice and close to everything. We checked in late and everything went smoothly. Site was easy to get into and we were close to the bathroom/showers, which were very clean. Walked into West Yellowstone for dinner. They are doing some construction on new cabins, but it was very quiet. There is a hardware store nearby, we bought a small electric heater for the second night. Laundry room was clean and lots of machines. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We can't say enough about this CG! A WOW factor from the minute we drove up. Registration was efficiently done by a friendly staff. Site was level and clean. Ample room between sites made putting our awning up a breeze. After 4 days, we hated to move on knowing we probably would not find a CG that would come close to this one. You can't go wrong with the Grizzly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice Park. All roads are paved. Staff are friendly. Site are ample for big rigs. This is a great destination site when visiting Yellowstone National Park from the west. Nightly fee is a bit pricey plus Wi-Fi carries an added fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is beautiful. If you are looking for a wooded, state park type atmosphere, however, this is not the place. The WIFI is paid - through Nomad ISP. They offer free coffee, cappucino and hot chocolate in the am's. Their bathroom and facilities are coded, and SPOTLESS! Game room for kids. Nicely maintained sites. Sprinklers do come on after midnight. Absolutely wonderful staff of friendly workampers. Although pricey, this campground was a great element of our Yellowstone vacation in July 2006. Great place! And great smooth access to YNP - no steep grades - and beautiful drive down Gallatin Gateway to get there from Bozeman, MT. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great RV park for adults. No Pool or Jacuzzi. As a destination park in the Montana summer in this price bracket this is a big draw back. Sites are ideal and hookups first rate. Bathrooms spotless. This is NOT the most entertaining park for children after touring Yellowstone all day or a long days travel. Club room is one air hockey table and TV games on one TV. No organized activities at the park. BTW, add resort tax, accommodations tax, sales and use tax to the rate.....You know, as much as I dislike KOA's I would give West Yellowstone KOA a second look if you have children. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As a previous reviewer said, the only reason we do not give this campground a 10 is the pay wi-fi. The campground is so nice that you would expect that they have free wi-fi. However, that is obviously not a factor for everyone since the campground stays full. Beautiful, long sites with plenty of room between RVs. You can wash your RV or car on your site or use a local service to do it for you. There are no shade sites yet because the campground is only ten years old. They have planted many Lodgepole Pines and they are slow growing due to such a short summer, so it will be awhile before the trees provide a lot of shade. We last stayed here in 1999 and the trees were not drastically smaller than now; gives you an idea of how slow they grow. We learned this little tidbit of knowledge from one of the tours of Yellowstone that pick you up at the campground. We have stayed in hundreds of campgrounds since our 1999 stay here and still have not encountered such a friendly and helpful campground staff. There were five motorhomes in our group and virtually all have the same review of the park. We will all come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I'd give it a 10 except for the $4 a day wi-fi charge. Check at the office for info on the drive-by wash and wax folks - good work, good price, not especially fast, but you're paying by the foot, not the hour. Free AM coffee in the office, expensive laundry (cheaper ones in town). Well run, clean, quiet park (if you don't count the weekend rodeo). We'll stay here again. Reserve early in the summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've returned here many times. It's a true top of the line campground - although being located close to the west gate at Yellowstone National Park sure doesn't hurt any, either. Everything is clean and well laid out. The staff is very friendly and efficient. It's almost the perfect place except that they charge for wireless internet when most lesser places are now including it for free
