Best Campgrounds near Island Park, ID

Nice and quite site & staff were very helpful. Good location to explore the park and not too far to head back to West Yellowstone for supplies.

It was last minute I read about this spot on Dyrt and was pretty relieved to find something with great reviews and relatively close to home in Bozeman. We are literally the only people up here off this FS road. Strange to see so many dead elk carcasses all around but it’s Montana so not surprised. Epic views, peaceful atmosphere and lots of open space. I definitely will come back again to enjoy another night or two. Bring along wood and water. It is best country but I’m not in any fear whatsoever.

Pulled into a spot less than an 1/8 of a mile before the marker, positioned on a hill with a clear view of the mountain range. Looks like plenty of spots in this area and pretty easy drive in. Unfortunately staying for a few hours for some rest since there is a winter storm coming in. Trees aren’t tall enough for shade. Pretty good spot for April camping if it wasn’t for the incoming storm

Excellent tent and RV park just passed the north entrance to YSNP. Very helpful staff and very clean restrooms/showers.

My family had an amazing time here while visiting Grand Teton National Park. Very quiet, clean and also had some amazing views!

We stayed in Bridge Bay in the middle of June at site #282. This site butts up to an open field which for some could be a draw back because there's little privacy but for us we got views of the Lake which were wonderful; we were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunrise over the Lake. 

The Facilities are nice with potable water and sinks to clean dishes. There's also a few trails to hike and explore. We had an Elk walk right into the field towards sunset and graze. I'm only rating 4 stars because It's a little far from things like Old Faithful and Canyon Village, but we would stay here again.

Yellowstone is always worth the visit if presented with the opportunity and this is a really nice campground.

No crowds at all! There was a car or two that drive past. Absolutely beautiful views!

$13 (paid $6.50 with senior pass). Camped in site #13 on Sept 22, 2024. Forest Road 582 is washboarded most of the way toward the campground; access to the forest road is from Idaho, east of Ashton. Campground is a short drive from Cave Falls in Yellowstone National Park (NP fee required). Pull thru sites, some leveling required. Some sites are large, some are small. Sites along the river are nice. Clean and stocked vault toilets. Potable water station in center of campground. No electric, sewer or water hook-ups. Each site has a bear box, table and metal fire ring. Site driveways are gravel. Site #13 is a very large campsite with partial view of Fall River. The river is down a steep bank; may be difficult to access. No trails at the campground, although there are excellent trails in the national park.

Free. Coordinates: 44.09981,-111.17306. Camped here on Sept 21, 2024. Set back and above busy Forest Road 582 which heads toward Cave Falls; no issues with dust from forest road. Site is also referred to as Lower Creek Road Campground. Large site, should easily accommodate 3 rigs. A few spots are level. Up on a small hill above Rock Creek. Can't see the creek, but you can hear it. Dirt surface. Tent camping possible. Surrounded by tall trees, but open sky above. Site has a bear box and a rock fire ring. There is also an old lean-to near the fire ring. The access track is pot-holed; may be muddy. No hiking trails. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. It's a nice site; nothing special. Good for a quiet overnight stay if visiting Cave Falls.

FS type campground in N ID just off I-15. Campsites at the top of the campground are best. Loop A (we were in A05) faces a road with lots of dry camp and UTV traffic. Also only 1 vault toilet in that loop, while upper has a 2 stall vault toilet. Nice level sites, mainly shady sites. Bear cans. Walking up road we had access to a number of trails some of which are for UTVs but were not busy while we were there. LOTS of RV groups up the road.

Perfect location for whole park.

When cloudy and wet it's a little dark, but that's the weather's fault!

Great showers included in price and close to village for preprandial drunks

Lovely site, busy but great location and friendly.

Sites close together but not too close.

Facilities fantastic, clean and warm, dump station and shop.

Don't miss a sit at sunset with gin and nibbles by the river

I enjoyed boondocking here in my tent. I had good cell service with Google FI wireless. Also I was able to get by the road and make it in my Honda Accord. Nice place even had a bear box for food storage.

Great campsites, with plenty of space. Water and toilets are close by and clean. Plenty of access to the river. Nice mature trees throughout.
