The campground is quite large, and this time of year, completely full every night. It is right on the river and very close to the highway."

"Great little campground on Hyalite Lake. Most sites have lake views and/or access."

"9/6/19 Conveniently located, 6 miles from west entrance of park. We had a pull thru site, 45,. Level gravel site."
"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."
"She was so very sweet and welcoming. Site was very clean, bathrooms were the cleanest we have experienced at camp sites. And the BEST views! Nice to have a designated sink for washing dishes."

$60 - $70 / night
"The cabins just have beds in them and no other amenities. The bathrooms were the cleanest ive ever seen for a campground to include their showers."
"Upon our arrival at this campsite we were met with the most spectacular sunsets. "
Legend9/6/19 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.
RangerI showed up here late one night on my way to Big Sky and was lucky enough to get a spot. There are plenty of amenities such as toilets, fire pits, and tables. If you are looking to do some night photography there are some great spots just along the river, which the campground borders, that provide some breathtaking views. There can be a bit of noise in the morning with people heading up the road for off road fun but overall this is a great little spot tucked away just off the highway.
ScoutWe arrived to this quaint little place after a long fun filled day in Yellowstone National Park. If you are looking for peace and quiet look elsewhere. If you have young children that go to bed before midnight look elsewhere. If you are looking for air-conditioning do not rent the tents because there isn't any. While the place has some cute rustic charm they are located behind a bar and the music goes until 10pm on Sundays and midnight on Friday and Saturday. They have live bands which are so loud that you can feel the music and cannot hear anything else. They do provide ear plugs but they do not help. I enjoying writing and was unable to do so because i could not concentrate, even my noise canceling Boze headphones did not provide any relief. They also need to update security because we had people coming onto the property without using the provided code.
ScoutReserved a cabin at KOA in West Yellowstone; it had been raining, the area in front of our cabin was a lake!! Our fire pit and picnic table were completely underwater. We went to office & they assured us they would send someone over to take a look. They threw down some boards to walk on, but fire pit was still underwater & we would have to navigate those boards to go to the restroom in the middle of the night!
We went to the office again & asked if there was another cabin for us to move to; the manager said there was but it would be $100 upgrade!! We asked if he would be negotiable as our cabin wasn't safe. The manager kicked our family of 5 out, with the words.....good luck finding another place to stay in West Yellowstone this time of year!! Luckily, we found, Hibernation Station in town - lovely place, fully furnished cabins with bathrooms. Why anyone would stay at the crappy KOA cabins 7 miles out of town when you can stay at nicely furnish Hibernation Station cabins with bedding, private bathroom, fully equiped ktichen, walking distance to restaurants & wonderful management. Shame on KOA for not ensuring better management.
TravelerWe were in need of a place to stay while attending a field seminar in Yellowstone. It is about a 30 min drive to Gardiner/Entrance to Yellowstone. The owners have experience in the hospitality industry and it shows inside the tent. We stayed in the Elk because we wanted a private bathroom. The room had 2 beds (super comfortable and well dressed), refrigerator, couch, writing table and electric fireplace (more for ambiance vs really providing a lot of heat) and still very roomy. They provide a little lantern for night walks to bathroom or back to tent if you don't have your own flash light. The deck off the front was ideal for sitting or practicing yoga. You do have to walk to the bathroom/showers. While we didn't have the opportunity to use the 2 community fire pits or horseshoes, butthey were well placed with a beautiful backdrop of mountains. There is also a small building with a coffee/tea machine and another small refrigerator. You can park right next to the tent.
If you want to take a walk, there are some dirt roads to walk by other surrounding farms.
The tents a pretty dispersed and seemed fairly private. There was only one other couple on the premises so not sure when it is a full house. They offer really nice kennels.
My only ding is they have a few kinks to work out, but I feel they will figure it out. They will be offering speciality breakfasts in the future, but now they are just store bought muffins with yogurt and orange juice. The location gets you off the highway, but you do need to navigate a gravel road for about a mile. Totally drivable for any car.
I think if I stayed here again I would take one of their guiding trips.
TravelerI would love to give this campground 5 stars - the hosts were lovely. It's a beautiful, peaceful piece of property. Lots of trees, surrounded by mountains and a glass lake. If you are tent camping, there are gorgeous sites along the water and you get amazing sunset views each night. HOT showers, laundry facilities, and an outdoor kitchen for cleaning your catch if you head out on the lake. Ladies bathroom needs some better ventilation, but the showers were a nice size.
If you are RVing and staying here to spend your days touring Yellowstone… you just have to take note. It's a long, bumpy 5 mile drive into the camp (making it wonderfully quiet!). It was fine the first day, but it got old, especially after driving around Yellowstone all day. They also, if needed, pack the RVs in some weird spots. Where we thought it was a through road next to us, ended up being a RV spot later in the week…and we lost our pretty sunset views. It also was awkward for both of us as we were perpendicular to them.
If you plan on spending more than 4 nights there, you will love the serene getaway of it! If you are only there to sleep while visiting Yellowstone, you will find its location a bit of a hassle.
GuideI booked 2 nights on Recreation.gov less than 3 weeks in advance. I was camping while working an event in Big Sky.
The campground is quite large, and this time of year, completely full every night. It is right on the river and very close to the highway. This means it is not quiet. Still, it’s 10 minutes to Big Sky, clean and well equipped. Overall a good choice in this area if you can make a reservation.
There are bear-safe food storage lockers, fire rings, and picnic tables at each camp site. Long before the bears eat you, the mosquitoes and deer flies will. Bug spray advised. Pit toilets are well-used but reasonably clean. The on-site hosts make sure to mark reservation cards on each site, and put signs at the entrance when the campgrounds is full. This kept traffic inside the campground to a minimum. Much appreciated.
TravelerLet's be honest, Campfire Lodge & RV is not the cheapest place to stay. And, it's obvious why when you stay there. The upkeep is top notch. The RV pads are graded roadbase. Fire pits and tables for each spot. the spot we stayed in had full 30 amp hook-ups. Tall pine trees. And, a stones throw from the Madison River. What an amazing place to sit and relax.
The cafe is open for breakfast and lunch. Bring your appetite and prepare yourself for an amazing breakfast or lunch. If you're a fly tyer the collection of hackle is off the charts.
Close to Yellowstone NP, fishing on the Madison River, exploring West Yellowstone to Ennis Montana and so much more! What a great place. We'll be back for sure.
TravelerWe had a lovely overnight at this RV Park in Sept 2025. The park is very handy to all the area has to offer, and the country setting lets you relax and rest peacefully after a long day exploring. The staff were exceptionally welcoming. Our pull-through site was spacious, level, and equipped with reliable full hookups (30/50 amp), shady trees, fire pit, picnic table, and Wi-Fi. The amenities were top-notch: clean restrooms, a well-maintained laundry room, the best setup we have seen thus far for the cost.
