"As we had been here before, the campground (CG) was easy to find, but some people did say that their RV GPS wanted to take them down a dirt road on the other side of Henry Lake."
"It’s isolated and quiet yet still so close to the action of Yellowstone NP & West Yellowstone. Every employee we encountered was so friendly and helpful."
"We stayed here when visiting Yellowstone and it was close to the west entrance and nice. They were kind enough to let us check in a little late and the campground was nice with pull through spots."
"Driving down the road, it didn’t look like much. Once we pulled in, we quickly changed our opinion. Beautifully manicured green grass sites with level gravel driveway sites. All are pull thru. "
"The laundry and restrooms are nice and clean. The spaces are shaded with picnic tables and fire pits. Perfect playground and easy access to the river for kayaking or paddle boarding."
"Sites were easy to access, even for big rigs. We were greeted at the road, escorted to our spot, and expertly guided into our spot."
"Lots of areas to explore and close to Yellowstone."
$35 - $200 / night
"Restrooms with 2 showers, dish washing station, and laundry. Close to town. At 9 pm, a light went on above our tent."
"Great facilities, super friendly and helpful staff. Pitching on gravel, so bring or borrow a mallet. Walking distance to shops and restaurants."
"There is some shade with trees and each spot has a picnic table. It’s basic but it will do!
They are definitely more focused on the cabin rentals here."
"Hot showers and great location."
"You are very close to town and entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Has full hookups to include cable TV."
"Very clean facilities and spacious sites. Big rig friendly as well as camper vans and everything in between. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in is fast and easy."
$80 - $95 / night
"All the premium sites on the lake are fabulous 👌. Our hosts who checked us in friendly and helpful."
"Great water pressure, 50 amp service, a ton of room and grass, lovely grass."
"Many of the spaces do not have any tree coverage although most sites do have full hook ups. You are right on top of your neighbor if you don’t mind that there are picnic tables at each site too."
"It is extremely close to Yellowstone and very clean and comfortable. The wifi is decent, but the cell signal is active. Best campground of the year award right here!"
"Greetings were friendly and an escort to our site and help backing in was a bonus. Sites are close but we plan on visiting the sites and not spending our days at our site."
TravelerSpent four days the end of August. Weather was pleasant and campground was very clean. Spacing not too bad, but I like State Parks as you get privacy. You are very close to town and entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Has full hookups to include cable TV.
RangerCamped here many times over the years, it was our favorite place in the park. It's a bit more like a National Forest CG because it's somewhat off the beaten path and quiet. It is certainly more crowded these days than it used to be, back then it rarely filled.
The site are good, some more private than others. It is NOT a place for Big Rigs, I think the length limit was 35' last time I was there (vehicle + trailer or whatever you're pulling) and they strictly enforced that. The volunteers at the entrance cabin actually brought out a tape measure and measured my 4Runner and 17' Casita at 31' so we got in. Many rigs behind us in line were too big and were turned away.
The creeks (Indian & Obsidian) contain small Brook Trout. For supplies, Mammoth is the closest place.
Have been the in June, July August & September.
The campground is totally on the reservation system unlike a few years ago. No 1st come, 1st serve anymore.
TravelerVery clean facilities and spacious sites. Big rig friendly as well as camper vans and everything in between. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in is fast and easy. Stayed 3 nights and hated to leave. Highly recommended.
GuideVery Nice Campground in the Targhee National Forest in the Island Park area. Riverside with fishing access. Dry camping with dump station near by. Picnic tables and fire rings
GuideNot a lot of spots but the ones they do have nice fire rings, tucked away spots for tents, bear boxes and picnic tables. The sites are kinda close to one another so if you’re looking for private this is probably not it. A couple of bathrooms. We have not seen a pay station so not sure if it costs or not. One review said it did. Close to town of Red Lodge where you can get supplies, gas, etc. was able to easily get down the road with our 13 ft travel trailer. We had a couple of bars of internet!
LegendCentrally located between Yellowstone national park in the grand Teton national Park this campground really has it all.
OK, there’s no Wi-Fi but there is laundry with a change machine, they have showers with warm water and toilets, A convenience store with groceries and a gift shop, gas station, and even a restaurant.
The sites are roomy enough not too close to your neighbor. Each site is full hook up and a pull through. ATT and Verizon service worked well.
TravelerFull hookup campground in the heart of Yellowstone. This is a large, busy campground with oddly shaped spots where you park beside your trailer. Big rigs may find it a tight fit but our small trailer was fine. Nearby store is well stocked and gas was available as well. Lake Lodge and Lake Hotel are nearby and offer lots of food choices. Showers were adequate but busy and expect to wait during peak season. No wifi or cell service. If you are looking for scenery you won't find it here, but it's a great base for your Yellowstone explorations due to the central location.
NOTE: Only hard-sided units are allowed here due to bears frequenting the campground.
GuideI stumbled across this campground while driving Mesa Falls scenic by-way. This campground has 27 sites, both tent, RV and a group site right along the Warm River. It also has a day use area. This campground had new vaulted toilets but no showers. Within the campground was the trailhead for The railroad grade trail (great for mountain biking) which I was told use to take train passenger to Yellowstone’s old faithful. Tubing was very popular and the campers next to us insisted that we borrow their tubes so we could try it out for ourselves, very refreshing during our hot August stay.
I snagged the last tent site #21 across the bridge in the northern half of the campground. This large secluded tent site up on the hill had a very small tent pad, fire pit and picnic table and enough room to put up my hammock. This site is next to two double sites. Unfortunately during the 5 nights I stayed some of the RVers close to us ran their generators beyond the 10pm curfew and one RVer felt the need to pull out his noisy leaf blower and blow leafs and dirt everywhere.
There is tons of things to see and do in the area, Mesa Falls, Island Park… but the hidden gem is the close proximity (less than 25 miles) to Yellowstone National Park - Bechler Ranger Station. Bechler Ranger Station is in the far SW corner of Yellowstone National Park. This area has more streams, creeks, lakes and waterfalls than any other area in Yellowstone. There is a historic Soldier Station there that is about 100 years old and there are lots of hiking trails to beautiful waterfalls. You can see cave falls right from the parking lots. I would definitely return to this campground next time I am in the area.
LegendOverall great. Just overpriced. All amenities for the full family. Campground is pet friendly but not national park off paved roads or sidewalk. Beautiful place friendly staff just over priced camping.
