Yellowstone Park / West Gate KOA Holiday

They first put us by the road and we requested to change sites and they did so. The sites are not well maintained and small. Our picnic table was old and gives splinters if you’re not careful. The store is nice and bathrooms and showers are clean. Overall, it’s too pricey for conditions but doable for a short stay

I mean it’s a KOA. It’s kinda what you expect. We needed a place to charge batteries, do laundry, and shower! It’s a nice KOA though. There is a mini golf area. There’s two little fenced off dog areas! It’s close to the town.

We enjoyed this campsite. They had great hot breakfast and grilled dinner options. The cook however was rather grumpy when one of our dogs pee’d on his lawn one morning. Rather rude.

Great place about 5miles west of park. Over 200 sites. Had nice laundry and restroom facilities. Playground for children and put put golf. Can ride bikes around all the sites. Beautiful indoor pool we used. Wanted to inside the park but you have to book those months early. Had great prices on gifts (40% off) when we were there.

This is a great place to stay when visiting Yellowstone. Everything you need plus a restaurant to boot

Expensive but shoot, minutes away from the West entrance of Yellowstone. Great store and staff.

Several years (10) ago I booked this KOA to travel with friends and visit Yellowstone.  They all backed out, and it ended up being an incredible trip with my Mom.  So much so that we are having our 11th trip this year.  I am also bringing my husband separately for his first time.

This KOA is well kept, clean, spacious, plenty of fun things to do, the staff is courteous.  And I love the different options that you have for staying there.  Tents, RV's, and Cabins.  The general store is great if you forget anything.  And the BBQ is wonderful for breakfast or dinner!  

The accommodations are perfect.  We have stayed in tents and cabins.  I love that each site has a picnic table, and fire pit.  If you choose a cabin, it consists of beds, a porch swing, and a space heater.  Unless you choose to upgrade (which we have done in the past as well).  Then you have a kitchenette and bathroom/shower.

This location offers some full hook-up locations, but they are generally pretty tight and some are fairly uneven. 

The people running the KOA are nice and accommodating (We had to change spots because we felt that we could not safely level our trailer due to the site eroding on the low hill side- YIKES!) The cell service was good.

This is about 15 minutes from the West Yellowstone Gate and outside the town of West Yellowstone by roughly the same. We went in their last week of operation before they closed down for the season and it was... sparse. I'm sure during the summer it is much more lively and fun to be there. 

To be truthful, we would maybe stay here again, but would MUCH prefer to stay in the park, even if we didn't have full hookups.

Great staff and lots of amenities. Unfortunately the bathrooms were only cleaned once a day and were very gross and dirty by the evening.

I enjoy all the amenities, the only thing I wish it had was a sewer at the individual sites, but it’s ok because they have a couple within the park located towards the exits. They have a huge playground, miniature golf, cornhole, a cool view of some cows on a ranch, indoor pool, and several individual showers. Restrooms were clean. I also like the fact that you can rent some bikes and they have a restaurant which is helpful when you don’t feel like cooking! I liked our location near the store/restrooms/restaurant. We were told to keep an eye out for bears because we have small dogs but haven’t seen any yet. Also the cows graze so close to the campsite it’s beautiful to watch them. I would stay here again!

We stayed here one night. We had a pull in site for our RV and saw cows from our site. We had an upgraded patio site with a tree. There were trees throughout the campground. My grandsons and I loved the indoor pool. It was different and we didn’t have to worry about burning during this heat wave.

The fudge was the best I’ve ever had and I consider myself a good judge from decades of testing.

All hookups were good. We also had dinner here. It was quality. We each had something different. The corn was sweet and tasted distinct to me as farm sourced. The trout was fresh and meaty. I tasted the ribs, which were also good.

Great place to use as base for exploring National Park. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Restrooms and showers were deep cleaned daily. Sites were a good size for regular RV or tent camper (huge rigs with multiple pop outs may find some spots feel crowded.

Exit and entrance is on main Hwy and can be quite busy.

Everything you could possibly need is here. Nice restrooms, wooded sites., cabins, a dog area, nice tent areas as well as rv sites. They even have a heated pool!

Nice KOA. Many options for camping from tents to very long pull throughs. Some sites with porch swing. Camp store well stocked and reasonably priced. Also had a morning breakfast and barbecue dinner the dates we were there. Food was really good. Neat part was close access to Yellowstone NP

Pretty typical for a KOA, from what I’ve experienced. The little store has a TON of stuff, food, RV related, backpacking, souvenirs. It was clean it was well maintained. It was a little jam-packed. It did feel like half the camp arrived and set up camp after 9PM and half were breaking camp and leaving before 7AM. Just makes for a pretty noisy corrosion, but it’s the life of being so close to YNP, I suppose.

Staffare super friendly. The on site store has anything you forgot. Close to town. Close to yellowstone

Nice clean campground with EXCELLENT FOOD! You have to try the ribs!! WiFi was a huge disappointment. The staff prompt us at checkin that it was substandard. Well, if you know it’s bad, upgrade/fix it. Everything else here was perfect, why let the WiFi be substandard??

Not exactly what I have in mind when camping but this is a KOA camp. Very cramped. A little expensive. But they have everything you need and an indoor pool. We needed a place to stay ASAP and it ended up being cooler then we thought.

We had a pull thru site with patio. Our fire ring was right next to our neighbors sewage drain, and the way our site slopped we couldn’t put chairs around it.

Almost all of the sites have shade. The laundry facility was clean and the Yellowstone Park entrance is nearby.

They do not enforce the quiet hours, our neighbors were playing loud music and slamming doors until 11:30pm.

Place is very large very cramped together. The employees are very nice. Pool is large. Quick drive to Yellowstone

I come to this campground every single year and have for the past 9 years in a row (14 trips total).  This campground has all the amenities you may need or want!  Tent camping, cabin, RV, etc.  And I have done them all there.  There is a laundry room, showers, outdoor activities like biking, ice cream, mini-golf, playground, etc.  I typically rent a cabin nowadays.  I have stayed in the one-bedroom, and the two-bedroom deluxe with kitchen and bathroom/shower.  Both are great!  I highly recommend coming to this campground and cannot wait until I am there again this year!  

This campground is only 6 miles from the West Entrance.

Words truly do not do justice. All the amenities you expect from KOA. The sites are beautiful with wide open views. Highly recommended.

This KOA is conveniently located 6 miles from Yellowstone gate. Bathrooms & Showers are clean!! The park has an expansive camp store, coffee hut and pancake breakfast every morning as well as a bbq dinner (menu) every evening. Laundry facilities were clean, reasonable and spacious.

Great if you have kids and need a pool. But it’s nothing special. I probably wouldn’t stay here again because there is no view. The sites are close together and all you can see is other people’s sites. Also, it’s been disappointing how many people won’t where their masks during this pandemic. The pool was super crowded and not policed. The positive it is close to the park and the sites are clean. We have a trailer so I can’t comment on the bathrooms.

9/6/19 Conveniently located, 6 miles from west entrance of park. We had a pull thru site, 45,. Level gravel site. I didn't like that our electric and water are on site 44 grass area right next to their firepit. Our picnic area not level. Table very worn. They have a lot of different sites including ones with patio and porch swing, tent sites, cottage. Sites that back up to highway get a lot of road noise. Bathhouse attached to store was average quality, clean, good water pressure. The bathhouse attached to the indoor pool/spa smelled really moldy. Nice play area with mini golf. Small fenced dog area. Good size laundry facilities and store.

Yellowstone NP is just 6 miles from the campground, so it’s passable for a few nights. You don’t need to spend much time in the campground because there isn’t much shade. Sites are very tight. There is a tour bus that can pick you up at KOA's office for a ride to the park, if you don’t want to drive yourself. There is also horseback riding, fly-fishing, and whitewater rafting nearby. indoor pool, laundry/shower dump station. They have pancakes in the morning. West Yellowstone is close by for after visiting the park.

We booked a deluxe site here because that’s all they had left. You could easily have paid the same for a decent hotel room. The patio for the deluxe sites was tiny, basically the size of a small sidewalk. The sites were really close together and didn’t provide any privacy. Bathrooms were ok. If you get a tent site or cabin along the edges of the campground then this could be a great place to stay. The store was really nice as were the staff. If you are a KOA diehard or have a huge rig then this might be a good option. Otherwise try to get a site inside Yellowstone to be closer to nature.

Spots are close together, like really close. Our fire pit was pretty close to our neighbors sewer hose. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are extras, but the come at an additional price. (Mini golf, bike rentals) This was a good place to reserve and stay a few nights so we could find a walk up campsite inside Yellowstone. It’s not close to town, but they did have a yummy bbq menu inside camp. ($$) and a coffee stand ($)
