We loved this campground! Although there are no hookups, it is a beautiful campground near Lake Yellowstone, and near a marina. The campsites on loops G and H are the most heavily wooded and private. The campsites are pretty level considering the whole area is on a hill. No Verizon phone service or air card service at this campground. We would have stayed longer, but wanted to move on to the northern areas of Yellowstone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was the only available campground for a same day reservation. YNP has been super busy this summer.Really liked the lake view and location near Fishing Bridge area, but was assigned G loop up on the hillside and nothing was remotely level. Had to ask the camp host for help, and luckily he provided 3 extra boards. Pull thru was short, and on the left so as you step out the door, you're in the road. By the way, it's at 7800' so be ready for cold nights. The lower level loops may be closer to level but had fewer trees. This is really more of a tenting area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked this park, although it is dry camping. It's situated on Yellowstone Lake, which is beautiful. It's also centrally located so you can use it as a base for exploring other parts of Yellowstone. The staff were helpful and friendly. Many of the sites are small, however, and difficult to get into, and at the same time "stay on the pavement." It was cold while we were there. The addition of electricity would be nice so one could stay warm by running the furnace. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We like this one, but it can be very congested at the entrance. We are generally fond of campgrounds near marinas simply because they offer another dimension in the activities you can choose to do. We try to stay on the loops and not in the center area which doesn't look as nice. Bathrooms are clean, grounds are kept rather nice and the service at the front entrance was friendly and professional. Great views onto Yellowstone lake from the upper campground road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made a reservation a couple months in advance and glad we did. We had a site in the treed area of this campground. There are two sections, one is treed and the other is very open. We were very happy with our spot. The staff was incredibly nice and they kept the bathrooms nice and clean. I seen them come and clean four times a day. There is a camp host in each section and they were very helpful with any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again. We loved our time at Bridge Bay. I would just make sure to have a reservation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were reserved for two nights and switched out to one. Staff was friendly at the gate. The site was very open (no trees), and small! I had to drive around the loop twice to position the camper into the pull-through slot, and we were still very close to the road. Left side pull throughs are everywhere. After being in the forest at Madison Junction, the openness of this CG made it look more like a trailer park. Bathrooms were clean. Water spigots were very, very limited in location, unlike Madison. Bear warnings were posted everywhere, and the nearby bicycle trail was closed due to bear activity (that was a reason we went there). Deer were plentiful. We would choose another CG next time in Yellowstone, one with more trees. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a typical National Park camp. No electricity, no water, just fresh air, good sleeping, and the resident buffaloes. We took our showers at the Fishing Bridge campground. In spite of the fact that it's all dry camping, we had a glorious time. Take your water jugs to the spigots at the restroom--the water is delicious. If you forget to bring firewood, don't despair. They sell it at the registration office. Campfires are welcome here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We reserved late, so this was the only Yellowstone campground available at the time. Although the campground had a lot of open space, the actual camp sites were very small. The fire ring was on the driver's side of the site. We had a difficult time fitting the motorhome and tow vehicle in the space. There were no trees at all. Bison were omnipresent in the campground. But, hey, you're in Yellowstone! We camped here in a Motorhome.

In the early 80's, a tree fell on someone. The National Park Service responded by cutting down all the trees in the campground. There still are no trees. Sites are extremely small, cramped, and many are way off level. One was so far off that a part in our hitch broke due to the extreme bind. Staff was, for the most part, surly and not helpful. Other choices, any of them, are better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed at park located in Yellowstone National Park. Park is operated by Xantera Parks, all
literature and website show price as $17, but was $18. No facilities other than toilets and cold water. The nearest showers were a few miles away and close to $4. We felt the price was a bit spendy. Luckily we were in a motorhome so were fairly comfortable. Because of the lack of facilities we felt bad for tenters since it rained, snowed, and blew, with temps in the 30s each night. Forest Service operated camps have the same (lack of) facilities, but charge $6 less. In the future we will do our best to avoid the commercially operated camps. On an up note, the staff was very friendly. We drove through Fishing Bridge "RV" park, and agree with other posts, it is a parking lot with no privacy, rigs crammed in, poor hookups, and $33 or so to stay. We would not recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our favorite Xanterra managed campground in Yellowstone (we stayed in three). The sites are all wooded and private, with a lot of space to spread out. No hookups here, but Verizon phone service was available at some sites (not ours) and at the check-in/laundry building. There are not many sites for larger units (ours is a 31 foot motorhome), so you may need to call ahead. Our site was pull through, most were back-in. I have to give Xanterra a 10 plus rating for helping us change our reservations from Fishing Bridge to two other parks for our stay. They were exceedingly helpful. This campground is steps away from the Yellowstone Canyon area, and steps away from the visitor's center and Canyon area supply stores. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huge campground with most of the RV sites in the northern loops. Sites are wooded, many are pull-through. Cold water only in the restrooms. Pine trees, birds, convenient to the Canyon section of the park but not easy to walk to places. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really loved the central location but felt this was a bit too busy at times. It's VERY convenient for food, gear and gas, and also it's great since it's right by the big falls. A bit too congested in July though. The forest is lovely and you are also close to Mt. Washburn, which is good for bears. We would stay here again, but not during peak times. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground. Gotta be the best in Yellowstone. The sites were well spaced. Just make sure you are on a loop (we like loop J) and not along the access roads. Only things that were a hassle were that the dump station was closed/removed and the showers at the entrance were outrageously priced ($3.25). The staff enforces the trash/food restrictions with a vengeance. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Best thing about this campground: location, location, location. Worst: tight sites. This is absolutely the best place to camp to see as much of Yellowstone as possible. It is located pretty much in the middle of the park, which saves you time and driving to the many venues. It's the only campground inside the park with full hookups, and we thought the price of $39 was a very good value. Water pressure was good and electricity stable. Sewer connection was a bit high off the ground but it was no big deal to us. The sites are very tight and backing into them is not for the faint of heart, but once we got in and settled, the closeness of other campers really didn't bother us. Yes: one of our slideouts was smooshed up against a tree, but we were able to deploy all our slideouts and were able to fit our truck in the space next to our trailer. This campground was built a long time ago, and we were happy to be able to fit our 36' fifth wheel here. In spite of the many tall pine trees ringing all the loops, we were able to get satellite reception. The Xanterra workers in the office were great and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. This is the only place we will stay to visit Yellowstone and would definitely come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's all about the location, which in this case was perfect. It has all the necessary hookups to be able to go off and sight see everyday. If you are just going to "camp" I would look for something different. Sites are close together, but we never spent anytime sitting outside as we were sightseeing everyday. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park desperately needs to be reconfigured. Nearly all the spaces are too small inasmuch as you are only a couple of meters from your neighbor's rig. I would suggest that they copy the layout at Colter Bay in Grand Teton NP and convert most of the sites to pull throughs. Another poor feature is the quantity of posts along the interior roadways. We met at least three people who had hit one of these and damaged their rigs. These posts need to be removed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was very crowded, the sites were small. sometimes two vehicles' slides would overlap, and it was expensive. It was also muddy out in front of our trailer after a rain. We left there and found another campground in the park in Madison. Although there were no hook-ups, this was a much more pleasant camping experience. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's hard to rate this campground, so my rating is essentially neutral. I agree with most of the prior comments: sites are tight for anything over 35' and some are difficult to get into because of trees across the road that restrict your movement, but it's doable. We had to park our truck down the road because the way we had to angle our trailer to fit, left no room for the truck, but we had ample room for our slides and awning. The sewer connections are raised and difficult to use but if you have a support for your hose and use care in dumping, they work. If you have a big rig, reserve early, arrive early in the day, check out your site and, if it doesn't work, I think the office staff will try to relocate you if they can. In other words, if you're flexible and patient, don't expect a resort and are willing to put up with a little inconvenience to stay in a central location with full hook-ups, this place works fine. We'd definitely come back here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is centrally located in Yellowstone National Park and has full hookups. It is the only park with full hookups in this area. Only hard sided rigs are allowed here, no tent trailers or hybrids. This is due to the large number of bears in this area. The access roads are tarred but have a few pot holes. The sites are small and short, we had difficulty getting into our site but after some maneuvering were able to get situated 16 inches from the large motorhome behind us, I measured. There was no room to extend our awning due to a very close tree. We have 2 slides on the same side and there was plenty of room for the slides. We did have a nice view of a very thick forest and plenty of room for our 2 lawn chairs and a small table. The bathrooms were clean. The showers were a long walk to the office area and cost $3.25 so you are better off to shower in your rig. There is a well stocked store, gift shop, and snack bar about 6 blocks away. There is also a gas station with diesel fuel and propane. There are no picnic tables. Campfires are not allowed. The park had a sewer smell in the mornings. The water pressure can get very high, up to 100 PSI so bring a pressure reducer for your water hookup. This park is very busy due to the great location and you will likely need reservations to get in. We arrived by noon on September 8th and the park was completely full. There were a few 40-foot rigs here, they fit but it was a tight fit. Our stay here was pleasant, we were aware of the shortcomings of the park but were happy to get a site in this great location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Yellowstone's only RV camp with hookups can't lose, so they don't try to win. Extremely tight back-in sites, essentially a parking lot in the forest. But since there's nowhere else.... Note that there seems to be no cellphone service at Fishing Bridge even though there is excellent service in some areas of Yellowstone. I use Sprint aircard for my laptop, plus a Sprint phone, and had to drive to Canyon Lodge or Old Faithful Lodge or a couple of other places just to get a connection. It's 2009: hello??? This all seems absurd, but the company that manages Yellowstone's concessions confirmed their level of performance by the food their restaurants serve. Suggestion: pack your own lunch.

This is not a campground like you get at a KOA, Good Sams or any number of the State Parks we have stayed at. Fishing Bridge is a base camp! It is centrally located in the park, is the only one with any sort of hookups (they are full h/up; bring spare boards to elevate your sewer hose and insulation and a 45psi regulator for your water hose). My 35ft, 3-slide class A scraped in, but we couldn't put out the awning due to the tree at our site. There is no cell coverage here from anyone: only VZ had 3G and that was at Old Faithful. Had both VZ & ATT at 1X at Canyon and Mammoth as well. XM was spotty in our spot, but worked fine in the car, we don't have satellite so relied on DVD's before collapsing from exhaustion! Bring your supplies, top off the tanks before entering the park (Bozeman, Cody, Salt Lake, Jackson) and my best suggestion is to prepare your dinners (casseroles, soups, etc...) and freeze them in dry ice in a cooler you won't use for the first 5 days you travel.
Note: It cost me $50. for 30lbs of dry ice and 2 bags of regular ice, but it SAVED me a few hundred in eating 'on the way' and frustration when we got home each night. Every other review here is accurate in my opinion. The sites are incredibly tight, the showers are expensive (and far from E, F & G Loops) and your water pressure does fluctuate. The power stayed on just fine but keep the windows closed since the fumarols smell can travel far. We chatted with our neighbors, but they changed almost daily, and no one was sticking around the campground when they could be out looking at the sites. Think of FB as a storage depot instead of a campground, and you will have a kinder opinion of the site. But, all things considered, it really isn't bad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We chose this campground for the hookups that are not offered anywhere else in Yellowstone. The sites are extremely close and hard to get into because the roads are so narrow. It turned out to be a good base camp for exploring Yellowstone and we had no complaints. It should be noted that if you decide to leave early, they will refund your money for the unused portion. We used the laundry facilities and they were impeccably clean with new machines. The Bison are all around and we witnessed one walking across the bridge, holding up traffic. If you go to Yellowstone, take plenty of groceries and supplies. The prices in the stores are outrageous. A loaf of bread was $4.00 and a 12-pack of bottled water was $8.00. It is a beautiful place to visit and one of the highlights of our lives. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If this campground was in just about any other location, I would rate it even lower. The main thing it has going for it is the location and the fact that it is the only campground with any hookups in Yellowstone NP. The sites are close together. No picnic table and little room to even put out a table and chair. We were in C loop and there was one bathroom with two stalls and a urinal in the men's room for 102 sites. One of the toilets was out of order for the 3 days we were there. The sewer hookup at our site was built up so high with PVC extensions that the tanks would not drain properly. The Xantera staff was indifferent to this situation first blaming it on the age of the facility which had nothing to do with these obviously recently installed PVC fittings. They then recommended using the dump station and finally suggested moving to another site which did not seem to be much of a solution as all the vacant ones I looked at seemed to have the same situation. The central location does make putting up with the inconveniences and poor attitude of the employees, but does not excuse them. The campground is within walking distance of the general store, visitor center and amphitheater where ranger presentations are given every night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We did not feel comfortable in this park. Our 35' coach barely fit in the site they swore would be plenty big enough. Even then, we had to park on an angle to avoid hitting the coach behind us and the tree when the door opened. The 'patio' was on the wrong side of the coach - away from the door, and when the neighbor put out his 10x10 canopy, we could barely get our HHR in to park it. The roads are so narrow that you can barely back into your site. The first site assigned to us had a 2 ft high post, a fire hydrant, and a small light right in front of the site, so you couldn't turn the coach to get it into the site without hitting another post at the corner of the pad! The sewer connection is 6" high and placed inside a cement barricade (so you can't run over it). Unfortunately, it makes it very difficult to dump without spilling. All in all, we will never return - we'll boon dock in Yellowstone before going back to this park - even if it is the only one that has hookups. Oh - no cell service either, though there is service at all of the lodging facilities in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV park is hard to rate, because it depends on what you want in Yellowstone. We were unhappy with how closely spaced the sites were, but the office was extremely helpful in re-booking us to another campground in the park, and they gave us a refund for the unused nights. You need a water regulator and secure sewer fittings on both ends to use water and sewer, neither of which we had (they sell them). So we just used our tank water and their dump station. They have a large laundry facility, and pay showers, but all showers were out of service the night we were there. This RV park was OK for one night, but we moved on because we wanted a roomier site with a fire pit and picnic table. Read all the reviews to see if this is the right spot for you, and realize this is the only park within Yellowstone with hookups. We camped for one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Thirty-six bucks is not bad, add in $3.25 each for a shower and the cost gets up there! Something should be done for the mosquito infestation at the upper end of the campground. Obviously something is done at the lower end where the showers and laundry are as we never saw any down there. The mosquitoes were so bad we could never go outside to sit, barbecue, nothing. We had to run from the vehicle to the trailer and Citronella candles did nothing, these monster mosquitoes are immune!!!! So, if you are coming here...bring LOTS of Deet!!!

I was wrong to assume campground was on the lake. You are packed in like sardines with a view of some pine trees mostly dead. Some sights you walk out into a pine tree so we were lucky we had a patch of dirt and weeds. No campfires, dogs cannot be left alone for one minute, nightly spot light checks, no phones, wifi or TV. The plus is you are centrally located and that Yellowstone is beyond words describing it's beauty! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park was centrally located, and close to a store, restaurant and gas, which made it real convenient. They had no picnic tables and fires are not allowed. Spaces are very narrow and "L" shaped to allow you to park your car next to the RV. The one draw back to the park were the mosquitoes - they were fierce and plentiful. You could not sit outside, and taking the dogs for a walk was a chore. No communications with the outside world at all! No cell phone, satellite, radio, not even NOAH weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As far as location and proximity to attractions in the park, I would give it a 10. However, it is like being in a parking lot. You have no space to set up anything outside your tent, but then again you won't want to be outside in the summer months. The mosquitoes are terrible! So overall it gets a 6!

I've read many other reviews of this site. They're pretty accurate for the most part. However, considering It's a National Park and preservation of the resource is a priority. We found that even though the sites are closely packed, everyone has space for their RV, and their other vehicle. Every site has a small green space, and the sites are very private. We found it to be a most intelligent design given the demand for space, and all of the attendant environmental issues. We spent a wonderful 4 days enjoying the splendors of Yellowstone.

After living and camping in California, this campground is nothing as what I feared: it isn't that tight; yes we were able to pull our slide out and could have with the awning (but it rained early the next morning). I found the sites to be what it is: a large campground for 325 RVs. I would come back here again, especially in June, as one night the temperature was down to 33F! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

RV campsites with hook-ups are only available at this campground in Yellowstone. The sites -- while accommodating both an RV and a dingy or tow-vehicle -- are quite narrow, and you get a very cramped feeling there. Similar to many other park campgrounds, there is no electronic communications available here. As a matter of fact, when you check in, they inform you that if you need to make an emergency phone call, you have to walk back to the office area (could be as far a half a mile for some sites) and use the pay phone. The Fishing Bridge area, however, is very centralized for access to other areas of the park. Just down from the campground entrance are shops, auto/RV repair facilities, etc. Further down the road are the facilities of Lake Lodge and Inn, with restaurants and other amenities. As we didn't have a car/dingy with us, we got around by car with friends of ours who were staying in a park cabin. There is no shuttle service or commercial vehicles to take you to park locations. You can, however, get picked up by local concessionaires who offer very pricy touring packages. Our campsite was not very level and we had to use all of our blocks to get to a reasonable degree of level. This pretty much worked for us, as we didn't have to say in our RV much of the time. For Yellowstone by RV with hook-ups, this campground is your only option while inside the park. Although we weren't really happy with either the site, nor the proximity to other campers (the place was almost full), we would still stay here again on our next trip -- which will be WITH a toad next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you must have hook-ups, this is the place for you, but if you can get along without them, the other campgrounds are much nicer and spacious. The sites are very small. On the plus side, the staff is extremely helpful. They allowed us to add a reservation date, then cancel it, without fuss. The down side is essentially a product of the need for hookups. The park is well-kept, bathrooms clean, sites level. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground is a huge, tight to navigate and has all small back-in spaces. Maybe some areas are big-rig friendly but I did not see them. It's the only full hook-up CG in Yellowstone. No matter what is said about the CG you should remember that Yellowstone National Park is a star and is what matters. Where you park and sleep is secondary to the experience of the First National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spaces are very tight and access roads narrow. We had an end space which was nice but very difficult to park our 23' TT due to the curve on the loop. There is little room for awnings or slideouts. There are trees between most spaces which help the privacy, but you are right on top of each other. My neighbor couldn't get his fifth wheel in the correct position, so he ended up with the sewer under his rig and the slideout over my water and electric. Go somewhere else with your big rig. We would have moved to a dry campground but they were being closed up for the season so options were limited. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is a disgrace!! If the National Park system is going to allow a concessionaire to run these parks, then they should make them upgrade the sites and the electrical end of it. It is so run down looking and the electricity kept going on and off. Unfortunately, it's the only game in town. We would normally dry camp but it was dropping below freezing at night and we didn't want to have problems with the plumbing. Sites were about as tight as you can get them and not real level. Glad we were gone most of the time as this place would have driven us up a tree. What a shame, Yellowstone is a jewel in the National Park system. What must tourists from other countries think when using this facility? The only redeeming feature is that there's a laundry room and shower facility here with very friendly park personnel.

This is an overpriced campground and there are no pull-throughs. I first rented a spot for my 35 ft class A, and tried to back in the spot. I ended up scratching the side on trees. There is no room to maneuver. The staff cannot help you at all. I asked for my money back, and they gave me a 40 ft site, which was a little better. I finally got in. It was scary walking at night because there had been grizzly bear in the park the night before I came. I was sufficiently scared walking my dogs. Laundry closed early and check out time prevented you from starting laundry in the morning and being finished by check out, so I had to pull the rig into the parking lot and do laundry from there. Don't camp there if you can help it, there is nothing exciting about it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the first campground of our trip that I just hated. Thought we'd love staying in the park itself, but we were squeezed on 3 sides by enormous Class As with their slideouts hulking over our rig, and listening to them running their heaters. Way too cramped. Nowhere to sit outside (probably because of bears). Very noisy, too, with tons and tons of children (and the aforementioned running of equipment). Bathroom facilities were barebones and unpleasant. Showers cost $3.25 and were a long walk away. We didn't hook up water (a regulator was needed) or sewer (as another device was also needed) and got out of there before 7AM as we were so miserable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You can't beat Yellowstone. The area is beautiful to explore from here. Yellowstone is huge and really eats up time, so a central location is important or one near to what you what to see and do. The campsites are very tight. You have to know the length of your trailer and truck to reserve. Roads and sites are paved. A forest of lodgepole pine trees surround the campground loops. It has always been full when we have been there, so reserve early. The bath house and laundry close at 9 or 9:30 p.m. so you have to time it. There is a charge for using the shower - about $3.75. This is located at the office area, so having a bicycle is handy. In our camping loop there was a flush toilet and sink. During the summer, it stays light until 10 p.m. so activity doesn't cease. The campground office and greeting staff were very helpful. You can book reservations to tours or attractions in the park from here. You can drive about 3 miles from the campground, out the east entrance to the park, and pick up cell and Internet service. This summer has been the worst mosquitoe outbreak in years. We were coated with DEET spray at all times. No campfires are allowed in this area. You can have a campfire at Bridge Bay which is next to a lake and nearby in Yellowstone. The snow was still piled in the woods in late June. Children and pets throughout. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is packed tight for class A motorhomes. Better suited for trailers under 25 feet. The staff is hurried and not helpful. We checked in at the office which was a 8 by 10 foot gift shop, rv store, ticket counter, and campground check-in all rolled into one. It was crazy. The laundry was small and ridiculously expensive, and the dryers were a rip off. The sites were so tight that we chose not to let out the slides the first night. There is a space for a car next to the site, but unless it is a compact car you will have to pull in on an angle or not let out the slide. The roads were narrow and the sites were back-in only. The General Store and Gas Station were a good 1/4 mile hike uphill, very inconvenient. The roads were horrible, it snowed while we were there and there were puddles and sleet sheets everywhere as we pulled out, quite dangerous. Next time we will park in Jackson Hole and rent a car into the park and stay at the lodge. You have to drive 26 miles to the next section of the park anyway, so there was little benefit to staying at this park. This park was overpriced and overrated. We stayed here in a 37 foot class A with a rental car. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's a National Park. Restrooms were clean and in the campground, shared between loops. Showers are up at the office and cost $3.25, time is unlimited and water is hot. The site was level and paved. We had little trouble leveling. The sites are made to fit. You need reservations and are all back in. They are no wider than they need to be. We had no trouble backing in. The basic park roads are fine, but you don't want to go fast through the campground. We found the park quiet with some noise during the early evening. We stayed 13 nights. If you are only staying a few days you might want to stay in one of the campgrounds without hook ups. If you visit each area you do a lot of driving. Each area is 14 to 21 miles from the other. There is no internet access that we found for our AT&T air card. (Verizon might do better). Cell phones can be used in some place in the park but not at Fishing Bridge Campground.(Ask the workers) Any time something broke an effort was being made to fix it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a joke. The sites are VERY hard to get into unless you have something under 30 feet. We were 12 inches from the camper behind us. We could not open all our slides as you have to park your tow vehicle next to camper. Kids running and screaming all over. Playing baseball and football in the road. Balls bouncing off expensive RVs. Dogs barking feet from your camper. Dogs running loose. Power outage is the norm and even stated in their handouts. At 20 degrees it's cold if you have an all electric RV. We stayed 3 nights and power went out twice. The use of heat pumps is not allowed as it knocks out their power. By private campground standards, this is a private campground(run by Xatera) , this place is a dump. You're herded like buffalo in here. You're better off staying in West Yellowstone, it's just as central to the sights as you end up driving around the park in loops. The no hook up campgrounds are much better and run by the park service. Never again could you pay us to stay here. Plenty of people at the desk complaining. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was surprised by some of the low ratings of this park. I thought it was great by National Park standards. The great part about this park verses other private parks around the area is the peacefulness. No kids running around screaming. This part is central to all places in Yellowstone and it is next to a great garage to keep your truck/RV running. The sites are close together but it does have a tree for every site. If you need a base camp for Yellowstone, don't waste your money on the outside private parks - stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Camping in scenic Yellowstone from the comforts of our RV gets this park a 9. Being surrounded by the sights of Yellowstone help you ignore that you are actually surrounded, quite closely, by RV's. We were fortunate to get an end spot which gave us some breathing room and our own tiny grove of trees on one side. Appreciated the room to park our dually truck next to us also as we would not have fit otherwise. Being packed so closely reminded me of some of my pet peeves as some RVers insist on leaving their outside lights on all night, shining into their neighbor's window, while others fire up their diesels for 20 minutes early in the morning before leaving. Having a diesel ourselves, I don't understand the necessity for this. Note there are no tables or fire rings in the RV section. This campground does have a large, clean and staffed laundry. All the staff were friendly and the facilities were well maintained. Store, gift shop, and cafe close by. Make sure you have reservations as park was fairly full even in "off season" and only so many spots for big rigs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the most under rated RV campground in Yellowstone. We arrived expecting the "paved parking lot", and much to our pleasant surprise we instead found relatively easy to back into angled paved sites with enough side room to park our truck as well. There is some grass and small trees between sites, but due to wildlife, no tables or firepits. The loops are separated by bands of woods. If you have an rv with hookups, then do yourself a favor and stay at Fishing Bridge. Yellowstone is not a place to sit and stay in the campground. You'll spend most of the day elsewhere in the park, so come back to Fishing Bridge to enjoy full facilities. The other no facility campgrounds are just not that good enough to do without hookups. Remember, this advice is from campers in a small Truck Camper, and not a large class A with a big screen TV. Fishing Bridge is ok. The only real complaint is that the Government thinks water runs up hill at the sewage connections. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Believe what others have written about this park. Sites are the closest we have ever seen and we have been camping for over 20 years! Even though they say they can accomodate 40 foot trailers, expect to spend some time trying to get your trailer backed in and make sure you leave enough room for your slide outs. No fires or picnic tables. If you cook outside, you must put everything immediately away afterwards. Expect no TV reception. Otherwise being in the center of Yellowstone was a plus, since you will have to drive to anywhere you want to go. Since you basically just use your trailer to sleep and eat in, this park will do. If you don't mind the driving, Colter Bay RV park in the Grand Teton National Park are better sites. All sites are pull through, but the trees are close, so you would have to be careful. We did not camp there, but did drive through it to check it out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

All previous reviews are accurate. The location is excellent. The sites are close together, but not as bad as they could be. While we had trailers on either side of us, we weren't looking into their windows or anything. Backing in was tricky, but with some patience we got in there. It was nice that they had space next to the trailer at our site designated for our truck. We had a tree outside our door, so we couldn't put out the awning, but we did see others who could put theirs out. We had full hookups, we rode bikes with the kids, went to ranger presentations, and just plain had fun. To be right there in the park was nice - and we preferred the east side of the park to the west. The staff was friendly, and we didn't use the showers as with full hookups we used ours.

But it is in the center of one of America’s greatest National Parks, so the lack of space, unreliable electricity, and the expectation that sewer lines will flow up hill, didn’t seem quite so important.

At $38/night plus $3.25/shower it gets a bit pricey but being in the park is worth it (it's still the same or cheaper than CG's outside) because it's a lot closer to everything in the park. There was a confirmed grizzly sighting near our site the night before we arrived and our dog was most upset a couple of nights while we were there but we didn't go investigate.

Yeah, its crowded all right, but since this is the only full hookup camp sites in the park, you have few choices. We checked out the no-hookups sites at nearby Bridge Bay and frankly preferred where we were. Has a nice laundry and you're within walking distance to the store and visitor center. Those with small kids need to keep close watch. One morning, two full grown bison came running full speed, about thirty feet from my trailer, through the wooded strip between the rows of campers where kids had been playing the day before.

This campground is for hard sided campers only; the sites are close together. We were in a smaller loop on an end site so we only had 1 neighbor with the other side facing the road. There are pine trees between some sites but not all. As for shade not much. There are about 7-8 loops with the largest loop at the end of the entry road. We were there a week and the mosquito's were out in force early afternoon so bring bug spray. There are 2 coyotes running around the loops also. Laundry is expensive with both washers and dryers front loaders. Wash $1.50 dry $1.25. If your rig lacks a shower or you cannot use it a shower will set you back $3.25 per person. There is no wifi but I was told it is under consideration for next year. Currently only the summer help staying in the dorms at the lodge have wifi. Cell phones do not work in cg either. We were told if you drive 20 minutes from the lodge near the lake there is a location that your cell will work. We enjoyed staying in the park but it is expensive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If there were no trees separating the sites it could be considered a parking lot like others have labeled it but the trees help.lots of woods around for the kids to play with other kids safely.

If you want Yellowstone and you want full hookups, this is the only game in town. This campsite is fine for what it is... a place to park your rig while you take day trips to explore this great National Park. If you're looking for a campsite with seclusion, however, this isn't the place for you. Nevertheless, the other campers were quiet and considerate and our kids found other kids that they enjoyed exploring the campground area with. During the four nights we were here, we were not allowed to make sewer hookups since earlier in the week, the sewer in our leg of the campground had been blocked. The campground was full so we were unable to move to another site. We stayed and simply used the dump station once our tanks were full. Upon leaving, the staff refunded us the difference between the price of full hookups and partial hookups. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you want utility hook-ups inside Yellowstone, this is your only choice. The sites are back-in tail-to-tail, cramped, and in most cases too small for anything over 30'. A 40' motor home parked next to us and had to back up smack against the adjacent trailer's awning to fit. Our site had no tree and no grass, just dirt. No picnic tables or fire rings. The only real advantage is being inside the park. If you can do without hookups, I recommend Bridge Bay as a more pleasant alternative. There was a good laundry facility here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Given the reviews I read prior to going to Yellowstone, I was concerned about the CG being a "parking lot". We were pleasantly surprised by how much room we had at our site. We camp in a 30' motorhome and did not tow so we had plenty of room. We also stayed at Canyon CG and preferred Fishing Bridge because there were less mosquitos at FB. We also had a grizzly bear and 2 coyotes come through the park about 10 minutes after we walked our dogs. That was quite an interesting experience. The people at the CG are very friendly and helpful also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are elbow to elbow with small trees in between. No campfires or picnic tables because of past problems with bear activity. Those are the bad points. The rest is all good. The campground was quiet even when fully packed for the 4th of July holiday. There were lots of children and pets and people were polite and friendly. The campground is a good central location for touring the park and we didn't have any trouble with electrical power or water. The water pressure is high so make sure you take a pressure regulator.

Full hook-ups and being centrally located in the park were a big plus for us. We saw many bear, moose, elk, buffalo and more near by.

Would never want to stay at this park again. They cram in too many RVs into tight spots. Our 40ft motorhome had to be backed up right to the awning of the 40ft motorhome behind us and our front passenger mirror still extended onto the street. We felt like sardines. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Cg in east side of park. Staff was very friendly and helpful. All sites were back-in and somewhat close together if you are towing. Sites were level.No picnic tables so bring a table along to cook on. Many restrictions [understandably] due to wildlife roaming through cg. Convenient to various attractions. Store, fuel, propane, and minor repairs available within 1/4 mile of cg. Camped here in motorhome and would definitely do so again. Bring your bug spray as the mosquitos are big enough to carry anyone weighing less that 100 pounds away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice place in a good area of the park. However, I didn't see any spot there I would list as a "pull thru" as all the ones we saw required you to back into them. And there are wooden "stubs" at the rear of each site that you need to be careful of when backing in with a larger motor coach or trailer. Lots of water pressure, so bring or buy a regulator.

It is the only full hookup site in the Yellowstone Park and with that being said it was very satisfactory. Lots of woods and wildlife. Use extreme bear caution and wildlife etiquette.

The sites are somewhat tight, with neighbors close to you on three sides. There are small trees and a very small patch of grass that separate you from side neighbors. We did not have room to open our awning due to the trees. There are no picnic tables and little room to put a table out. Campfires are not allowed. Only hard sided RV's are allowed in this campground because of bear activity in the area. When we were there, bison roamed past our campsite. We were able to stay with our hybrid trailer with the bunkend closed. Laundry (very busy in the evening) and pay showers are nearby. Though there are many negatives, the location and access to hookups are a big plus. The campground is the only campground within the park with full hookups which makes staying at this campground well worth the hassles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some people really give this place bad reviews, but if you want to stay in Yellowstone and want full hookups, it isn't that bad at all. The access roads are tight, I will say that, but we got lucky and had a site at the end of a row, so I had the cross street to use to give me room to back in. There was room enough for my 31' 5er and 23' crew cab long bed. The truck goes next to the trailer on these double wide sites, which I found very nice, usually you have to squeeze your truck in the last bit of space left over in front of your trailer. Not sure if there are longer sites, but my 31 just fit, maybe had room for a few more feet. Bring your own table and put away your BBQ at night after you cook. This place is in a bear migration route, so no soft sided units are allowed. Another unfair description some people use is that this place is a parking lot. There are trees next to and around nearly every site, the rows are seperated by medians of trees. Some sites had trees so close you may not be able to open your awning all the way. This is not a parking lot at all. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the oldest parks in the country, but well maintained. Big rigs have a little problem because the sites are fairly small and will stick out in the roadway. This park is extremely busy in the summer months so would advise reservations. Can tend to get fairly noisy because of the large amounts of families and everybody coming and going. We camped here in a camper.

We had site I-226. It was great because it was on the side rather than down the loop roadway where sites were back to back. It gave us more room and we were surrounded by beautiful trees.

This is a huge campground. Really huge. There are several different kinds of loops offering a wide choice of sites. Some are in more open forest, others border a very thick forest and back up to a wetland area in a shallow bay of Yellowstone lake. Everything was clean and pleasant. Some of the concession workers at the front station were a bit crabby though. It's a great looking spot, plenty of room to move to. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The big attraction for this campground is the trees and the wonderful view of Lake Yellowstone in areas of the campground not surrounded by trees. Many of the sites are not level so make sure to bring along a means by which you can level your rig. This is honest to goodness camping: About 80% of the campers were either in tents or tent trailers with the remainder in everything from travel trailers to motorhomes. Very few campers used generators during the day when we were there so daytime noise isn't a problem. Also, the Grant Village area isn't very busy since it's somewhat removed from the major YSNP attractions. If you are visiting both YSNP and the Grand Tetons it is centrally located. We were pleased to see that the Visitor Center, which contains an interesting Fire of '88 exhibition, is undergoing a remodeling and expansion project. Showers and laundry are located outside the campground where you can get 6 glorious minutes of hot water for $2.00. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We chose this site based on reviews that it has many trees and shaded sites, and were not disappointed. We reserved a pull through site for a 29 foot travel trailer and got a great site near the end of the access road loop. This ended up being the only way in and out of the site, as we had to back out, no way to "pull through" the c-shaped site with the bollards placed along the road to keep people on the pavement. However, plenty of room to back out. Sites are situated in loops on the side of a main access road. Be aware that they are one-way and plan for a sharp turn to go counter-clockwise from the access road. We needed to swing wide into the other lane on the access road and use all of the intersection to make this turn. Sites are moderate sized (large compared to private CGs, smaller than some state/national parks). Firewood is plentiful and about $7 per box. You are allowed to pick up deadwood all over the park (still plenty after the forest fires). Lake is too cold to swim in and swimming is only allowed in certain areas of the park. There is so much to do that we did not make it to the Ranger activities, but they looked interesting. Pleasant people all around. Drive to pay shower area, but bath house was clean and modern. This CG is not far from Grand Tetons, made 2 day trips there. Recommend spending at least a week in the park, half in this CG at south end and half in either Canyon or Madison area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Madness checking in but shady sites throughout a sight for sore eyes. Roads in need of some help and wildlife sightings a bit few and far between. Load up on fuel and groceries before arriving or be prepared to bleed. Expect to travel long distances to see things as it's a huge park.

We stayed here the first two weeks of September and found that it was not busy, however sites were close together so I imagine that during the busy months it could get a little crowded. There are no hook-ups but a dump station and water fill station are located when you come in, and you can use generators. Yellowstone Lake is right by this campground and you can walk down within 5 minutes, we saw several Elk during the evening hours. We would stay at this campground again during the fall.

This is a reservation CG run by Xanterra in Yellowstone NP. No hook-ups, no showers in the CG (there are separate pay shower and laundry facilities near-by) and while bathrooms were clean and pleasant enough the closest one to our site was some distance and the gray water disposal sink was out of order. We loved the shade in site #319 and it's relative solitude but many others are in much more congested loops of the CG. Our site was a bit sloped but plenty wide for our 30 ft class A with just enough room to tuck the tow in front. The ladies at the reservation and registration desk were friendly and infinitely patient with the arriving throngs of visitors. This campground worked very well for us while we saw the sites in the south end of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed in this campground twice, once with a tent and the second time with our motorhome. This is the greatest place in the park. We are self contained so we don't need hook ups. We checked out the other one with hook ups and didn't like the parking lot feeling. The elk practically come up and knock on the door. We even had a wolf come thru when we were tent camping and a coyote woke us up one night too. This is the only campground we stay at in Yellowstone it's beautiful. Sites are far enough apart so you can have some privacy. I can't say enough about this place and the people are great. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground and the facilities were clean. We stayed here in the summer 2003 with a tent. Very cold nights and when the rules state 'no unattended coolers' they mean it. We saw a park ranger taking a cooler from an unattended campsite. They are STRICT on the rules. Second night was noisey, someone had a fight. They were quickly dealt with and escorted out of area. Staying in the park was a nice time saver. This is a LARGE national park and we took all 3 days for looking around. PS.- Campground was not very private. Lots were not 'stacked'on top of each other, but you could see into others campsite. We camped here in a Tent.

Another very pretty Yellowstone campground. Restrooms were kept clean and staff was friendly. You have to pay before entering the campground which can cause small traffic jams. Once you get past that mess, it becomes a more pleasant affair. Scattered pine forest with largely sandy site and nearby Indian Creek for fishing. There are few sites for big rigs (40+ and ten spots I think). A good stop if you are in this part of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground was clean, registration was easy, bathrooms were clean. Mule deer all over the place and Lewis Lake is gorgeous. A good place for those who want to be off the beaten path and who like to fish or just hang out by the water. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Crazy congestion at entrance in evening. Ten RVs lined up there and waiting on the highway until a workamper finally moved the rigs to the dump station area. Not enough staff and very slow checking-in. We were lucky and got a loop that had fairly level sites and not right on the road- with trees helping out. Pull thru sites supposed to be 30' and some back-ins are longer. Rate this year is $20.50, and park CG's are full every day. This one is okay, but not near a VC nor showers, but river is nice .

We stayed at Madison and Bridge Bay, and this was the best of the two. Sites are in open lodgepole pine woodlands and shady. Pullthroughs are, indeed, tight. I agree with a previous reviewer that pullthroughs on the left make no sense. I rarely saw NPS law enforcement drive through, a bit of concern with that many people around, but we had no problems. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Bathrooms were kept quite clean. There are no showers. There are two dump stations at the campground entrance, along with two fresh water tank fill-up valves (separated). Fill up before going in. There are many fresh water spigots in the campground, but none have threads for a hose. Plan ahead as you register before setting up for a few days. The animals do run free, and if you walk over to the confluence of the Gibbon and Firehole Rivers, you WILL see bison. Trout fishing was very popular. Temperatures very cool at night, delightful in the day. A bit of traffic noise from the West Yellowstone highway, but nothing offensive. We would definitely come again.

This is a large campground. Ask not to stay in the A-loop, as this is where many of the employees stay with there RVs. Like others have said, having pull-throughs on your left is the dumbest idea ever. Can't use your awning, and have to walk around your RV to get to the site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I know others love this park, but frankly it is over rated for Yellowstone. The site we were assigned to was basically a wide bend along one of the park loop roads. We edged as close as we could to a nearby tree just off the pavement, and were afraid to put the slide out for fear of it being hit by passing traffic. Please take note that we were in just a truck camper, and not a large RV. Yet we were assigned a totally unacceptable site, even for such a small RV. We saw numerous larger campers assigned to unacceptable sites for their size. Many sites here are over rated for anything beyond a tent site. Those who rated this park higher, probably were assigned to one of the more acceptable sites. If you can use hookups, then you are far better off at Fishing Bridge. Otherwise, good luck on being assigned a reasonable site. Luckily, we only stayed one night, and then had reservations for a week at Fishing Bridge. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Excellent NP campground. Sites were pullouts (right and left) around campground loops. After watching several folks try to pull through the loops, it was evident that the best tact is to go past the pullout and then back in. Restrooms are heated (a plus on chilly mornings).

Dry Camping and Campground does not have showers---the closest showers are 30 miles away at Canyon Village. The water at the entrance where you fill your tanks was great but the water in the campground had a rubbery taste. The roads are one way with sites on both sides and if you pull into a site on the left side correctly, your door faced the road. We were lucky that the site on the right was empty when we arrived and we looped through so our door would face the picnic table. Overall nice campground, convenient to the geyser areas but not to the wildlife areas--canyon village is by far the better choice to dry camp in the park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Since this was our first time to Yellowstone we had a lot of questions and the staff was very helpful and informative. Dump station has three lanes and is very clean. The three lanes help to keep the morning line up to a minimum. The location is central to Old Faithful, Canyon, and West Yellowstone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great site with plenty of space and a steady stream of friendly neighbors. It was difficult to cope with the lack of electricity and no generator between 8pm and 8am. It certainly did preserve the natural beauty, but being from the Midwest, we did not think to have more than one coach battery on board. As a consequence, the blower on the heater only lasted until 1am or so. We had to bring the babies into bed with us most nights. Not sure how the tent campers survived! It was a great experience, though. The hiking trails did not allow dogs, even down by the river. We hiked down there a few times (without the dogs) to see the elk. The sound of the elk at night was wonderful, and would have been drown out by generators, so we were grateful for the rules. Dogs are allowed on the campground roads, so we walked those a lot. Not a whole lot to do at the campground as far as hiking destinations. We took one day to drive the whole 100-mile loop in the park and see the sights. It was not too far to get to Old Faithful. One morning we drove there at 7am just so we could start the engine and turn on the heat! We were concerned by signs posted in the park about snow tire requirements. I was worried we would be stuck in the park. Snow was falling, and the signs said we needed snow tires to get out the east and west entrances. But the ranger assured us we would be fine, and that the ground was too warm to sustain any accumulation until late October. If you have friends coming to meet you for the day, be sure to tell them the site number. Our campsite neighbors had a problem because the campground staff wouldn't let visitors back there unless the registered site guests were there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Madison is a very good location for viewing the park. Reservations required. Know the overall length of your trailer and truck. This campground can accomodate larger rigs, but be sure to call ahead. No electric or showers available. Flush toilets on site. 3 stall dump station on site. Ice and firewood available. Park rules enforced. Bison viewing is great. Campground allows generators. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed at Madison 6 times and it is one of the prettiest campgrounds of all! Although it has no utilities at site, one can get fresh water and dump and the brand new dump station. Wood and ice is sold at the CG. Showers must be purchased offsite. If you want a ""Yellowstone Experience"--this is it! We parked a 41 ft motorhome, car and caddy on our pull thru site and were able to get satellite TV (not easy). Bison wandered throughout the campground early one morning. Bison and elk grazed at nearby Madison River Valley, which the campground overlooks. The smell of wood burning is delicious! The CG is only 14 miles from West Yellowstone, and the road is one of the best for viewing wildlife. Free wifi is available at the W. Yellowstone Visitor Center. What more could you want (except more batteries!) We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here the last week of May. Campground, restrooms, and showers are very clean. Most sites are fairly level asphalt. Park Host were very helpful and frindly. I pull a 36' fifth wheel which is a little large for this campground. I did see several large motorhomes however. No electric or water hook ups but there is a dump station and potable water available. The camp sites are not on top one another unlike fishing bridge and you can have a campfire. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very well run campground. PROS: Clean, Quiet, Professional staff, Many large sites with grass and trees, Many sites with good views, Good location for exploring YNP, Nice location on Madison River, Excellent evening and kids programs by rangers,
Best dump facility I have ever seen. CONS: No hook-ups (upgrade batteries, buy a couple of water cans and conserve - if you stay a few nights, you'll pay for all of it with the savings over paying for Fishing Bridge or any of the private CGs nearby. June, 2004. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Few amenities at this public campground, but plenty of natural beauty, smells of woodsmoke fire and nightsounds. Moose and bison wander right through the campground to the delighted squeals of children. Mostly shaded, level pull-thru asphalt
sites and good spacing afford privacy. Dump station available. Room for big rigs but # sites limited, so reservations recommended if over 30ft. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great spot for the "Yellowstone experience". We originally booked in for 3 nights and
were lucky enough to extend it to 5. The sites were a good size and, due to strict rules to prevent bears, were very clean. The staff is very
professional and friendly. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

One of the best campgrounds in Yellowstone, even though there are no hookups. Many sites are spacious and wooded and gives the camper a good feeling around the campfire at this National Park. I would stay here again. We camped here in a camper.

Campground is OK for the early months and the fall months but could be very hot in the summer months and dusty. We had a pretty good spot but one thing i noticed is when they don't assign you a spot people tend to drive like heck through the park in fear of losing there spot before they get back to the ranger station, that's the only sense i can make of it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Neat campground, but noisy. The area seems quite dry, but there is good wildlife to be seen, especially if you have a pair of binoculars and can scan the opposing hills. There are elk up the ridge above the campground that hang out in the "town" square. Nice campground, but I like others better in Yellowstone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As someone else mentioned, Verizon cell reception and broadband access is excellent. The environment here is sage and juniper, so don't expect camping in a forest. What a stupid place to site a campground, don't know what National Park Service was thinking, on the inside of the switchback of the main road, a good amount of road noise as many of the sites are in proximity to the road. The road is on an incline so you get racing engines one way and Jake brakes from trucks the other. Now the good stuff: The campground is in a very good location to explore the north part of the park. We are here the end of September beginning of October and there are a ton of elk around with the bulls bugling like crazy. You can take a short hike from the campground amphitheater and be at the village in about 10 minutes (a good climb). A great hike nearby is Bunsen Peak, fantastic 360 degree views. No dump station, good spacing of water spigots with threaded connections. If you need to dump, there are two parks in nearby Gardiner (about 6 miles away). Grocery store, propane, gas and diesel are available in Gardiner. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very good cg for YNP- much smaller, quieter (if not next to the road) and more pleasant than the big zoo cgs. Sites are not very wide and are dirt, but there's usually a lot of choices and they rarely fill up . Helpful office staff knows which ones are more level or shaded, and lets you go try them out. Nice surprise to get Verizon cell service and aircard reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No reservation campground in the Yellowstone NP. No hook-ups, no showers but clean suitable bathrooms. All sites are pull-thrus and this is one of the two park run campgrounds where generators are allowed. Vegetation in the area is sagebrush and lodgepole pines. Sites seemed big enough for our 30 ft class A but they wouldn't for a big rig. They were not overly level but some are much better than others, we liked site #61 with a nice view of surrounding hills and pine trees on three sides for some shade. This campground worked very well for us while we saw the sites in the north end of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Probably our favorite centrally located campground in the park. It's convenient for all sorts of sightseeing, and also doesn't have as much crazyness as the Canyon campground area. It's a "drop-box" type of payment system. There is good fishing in the stream bordering the campground. Someties you can smell a bit of sulfur but I think it adds to the charm of the place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are only 6 sites for trailers/motorhomes 30 feet or longer. Our fifth wheel is 33 feet long and we felt very fortunate to find a site. We arrived around 1 p.m. I would not recommend a big rig coming in here. Some of the turns are tight. There are threaded water connections to fill up your water tank, but no water at the site. Beautifully situated along the Gibbon River, Loop A is probably the most scenic as it is close to the river. Bison near the campground. Hiking trail right out of the campground. Museum of the National Park Ranger. Only a mile to all the trails through Norris Geyser Basin. Centrally located. Heavily forested with lodgepole pine, we lucked out and were able to get a sat signal through a gap in the trees. No dump station. Madison CG is the closest place to dump as there is no dump station at Mammoth either (what's the deal here?). Generators allowed (8 am to 8 pm). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Small, remote campground in a beautiful setting. It can still feel pretty busy from early summer to the end of September as it's a really great campground. There are limited sites, but a nice big parking lot on the way in. Good location for those going to the Bear tooth pass, or to relax more in a more peaceful area of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Hidden, inexpensive gem in the northeast corner of Yellowstone right on the Lamar river. This is a primitive campground with about 30 sites for smaller RVs (about 30' max with most sites smaller) and tents. No electric, no generators, no showers, no RV dump (nearest dump at Tower Fall), limited water (not working when we were there), vault toilet. Although NOT centrally located to much of Yellowstone, much wildlife (bison, wolf, bear, elk, coyote, birds) are nearby (if not roaming in the campground). Bring the spotting scope! First come, first serve (arrive early!), enjoyable close-to-wildlife camping inside Yellowstone National Park without the crowds! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is for small RV's only unfortunately. If you have one, you are in luck .There are several really nice water sites. The bathroom is just a simple vault toilet with no running water. Water is taken from the hand pump. This is a basic campground way back on a gravel road but it has great fishing and a more quiet atmosphere. One of our favorites. Good place to watch wolves too. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very pretty campground with lots of trees and space. This is real camping unlike the Kamping the other RV parks offer. There are no hookups, but this adds to the peace and tranquility, however there are drop toilets for the campers and drinking water available. Most sites are tent sites so get there early to reserve your piece of paradise. There is no space for rigs over about 30ft. Each site has fire rings and tables. A lovely place to camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is primarily a tenting campground, although you can get a small RV up into the tent loop if you are adventurous. There are better RV sites at the bottom of the hill, though only a couple. It's a good place in a pinch if you have a small RV. There's a camp store about a 1/8th mile away which offers supplies and gifts. Great views of the Yellowstone river too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
