Buffalo Crossing RV Park

Resort prices for lackluster campground; you are paying to be at the mouth of Yellowstone, which is invaluable considering everything you want to see within the park is 1-3 hours away.

The park itself is fine - the showers and laundry work. But it’s very small with cramped spaces. We were fortunate to get Site 15 at the end of the first row, so we aren’t facing anyone’s sewer or slide outs, but one site faces the doggy waste bin and another faces the dumpster, so I could see those visitors having grievance.

There is no dog run, just a square of grass. I understand it’s difficult to provide space for pets here as it borders the park, but just be aware that your pet won’t get exercised.

What’s frustrating is we are full-timers staying here for over two weeks, and the managers indicated they won’t accept deliveries from Amazon, UPS, or FedEx. Long story short - FedEx confirmed they will deliver directly to your site. Unfortunately, I already placed a hold on the delivery and these were time sensitive items.

They give you a discount to the IMAX theater and a token for a free ice cream cone, which might satiate your need for more from this park if you’re retired or traveling with kids, but we aren’t.

Overall, I would stay here again because of the location. But like most “resorts” on the cusp of a national park, it leaves more to be desired

This campground was very close to the West Yellowstone entrance and was very convenient. This campground is right in the small town of West Yellowstone. The park felt safe, clean, and well cared for. It was a large gravel pull-thru site with full hook-ups that was okay. It was a little difficult to level with our travel trailer with our Anderson levelers because they kept sliding in the gravel (frustrating). There was some grass and young trees that were well cared for.

We used our couple night stay to utilize the laundry facilities, which were clean and fully functional, and also visit some friends nearby. 

We would stay here again, but it would not be a destination for us. We did visit several local stores in West Yellowstone during our stay and it felt very touristy, which I guess we shouldn't have been a surprised by. We needed to restock on some groceries during our stay and they were a bit pricey.

The campground is affiliated "Giant Screen Theatre" on the same grounds. As a guest of at the RV park you get a discounted rate to see a movie but our time there was limited and we didn't take the time to see a movie.

I would recommend this campground but the location leaves something to be desired. I feel like it was very utilitarian, well cared for, and was a good move by the owners to make this location into a RV park.
