Henry's Lake BLM Dispersed

Granted we got in late, but there really weren't any visible turnoffs or clear places to camp. We got to the far corner of the lake and found a clearing by a fence close to the lake. Lovely view and very secluded, but even on the drive out around the other half of the lake we saw no clear camping spots.

It’s a bit of a drive off the beaten path, and you may find yourself thinking “is it really out here?” but it is. I promise. There are lots of dispersed sites on the way off of the paved road, but my partner and I stayed right next to Henry’s Lake with a gorgeous view. This was probably my favorite camping spot of the summer. We went in June while visiting Yellowstone. The weather was a little cold, so we made a fire and burned sage brush. The lake was swarming with non-bitting midges. They were quite literally everywhere and you could hear them flying, but they left us alone and we’re not an issue.

Very easy to get to, typed in Henry’s Lake in Google. Along the road there are plenty of camping spots, some amongst the trees and some in open fields. Tons of fallen trees around for firewood. Fire rings near sites. ATV trails and easy boat access along the lake for fishing and kayaking.

The road off the main road is rough and full of potholes, BUT once you’re down on the waterfront it smooths out and the spots are fairly smooth. The dogs are loving it and the bird watching is awesome!

Pulled in just before dark after drive through Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Beautiful level spot right by the boat launch. Didn't even have to unhook. View of the lake and mountains in the back ground. Great spot!

Follow the road all the way to the lake. Large parking area. Not busy on a COLDD October night, but can imagine it would fill up more during summer months. Great place to camp before heading in to Yellowstone. Remember bear safety including proper food storage. BRING BEAR SPRAY!

Great spot about 30 minutes from the Yellowstone West Gate. Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Lots of spots but we were the only ones here in late October! Good walking area for the dog. Little bit of a bumpy ride down to the camping area but not too bad for our Sprinter.

Stayed here for two nights while exploring Yellowstone. Yes it is about a 30 minute drive outside of the west entrance, but absolutely worth it. Both days I didn’t get there until the evening and was still able to find a wonderful spot right in front of the lake. Neighbors were always super nice, can buy firewood from the rv park up the road. Would definitely return

Stayed 2nights farther than the other trailer/rv’s and so far slept so good with a view by the lake. I love the sunrise and sunset with this are. We stayed in the van in the afternoon time coz so many flying insect. Glad we have screens in out van

We got into Henry’s Lake Dispersed area around 6pm on a Saturday night. We stayed to the left of when the road splits, because that’s where the pit toilets were. There were 2-3 spots left, everyone spaced out nice let. Toilets were super clean, super stocked. There’s are a lot of bugs at night, but they are mayflies, not mosquitoes. 10/10 would recommend!

Got here on a Tuesday afternoon and there were quite a few people here already but found a nice spot right in front of the lake. We loved it here, it was quiet for the most part and the lake was beautiful. Read in a previous review that the bugs were bad, and they definitely were but I would still recommend this place!

Right on beautiful Henry's Lake. Room for 6-12. Stated here for several days in a 40' motorhome.

I stayed for 2 nights and upon arriving on a Tuesday evening, there were 2-3 spots left. There’s no official spots since it’s dispersed but several pull outs along the dirt road. There are 2 clean vault toilets that were stocked. Free to stay but no amenities other than toilet. Cows are free roaming around here so you will hear them all times of the day. Bugs were bad on some days but if you have any time of wind or fan, it wasn’t an issue. Had 3-4 bars LTE via AT&T. Only 30 minutes from west Yellowstone. Definitely would stay here again, felt very safe!

We arrived late in the night and as we were setting up our tent was swarmed by bugs, definitely the time of year. You are also right on the lake. There were two separate bathroom stalls which were both clean. Nice area if it weren’t for bugs! The road down to where you camp is well maintained gravel. We left as soon as we woke up because of the bugs.

The road in is Gravel and 2 miles from a paved road. There are 6-15 campsites at this location and the maximum RV length is 45 feet. You may stay 14 at Henry Lake BLM.

Convenient location to West Yellowstone(about 20-min) and great staging area for exploring the national park.
