Nothing wrong with this stay, although I wouldn’t call this a “campground.” It’s a small and tight rental cabin property that has a few slots for RV hook up.
It’s tight but as long as your just looking for a place to drop or unhitch this one is fine.
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. They looked really nice too, newly built and rustic.
Legend
This RV park is simply just a place to park. 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. But maybe only 20 sites available. This RV park is part of the motel. 
Traveler
We stayed for a week in this brand new RV park. Full hook ups. The park has everything you need though, at this point, it is rather bare. Sites are close together. In Spring the space between sites isn’t useable due to mud and snow. There is a very nice laundry and shower facility. The park is centrally located in Yellowstone so it is easy to get from place to place.

West Yellowstone Grizzly campground is located close to the West Yellowstone entrance. It is an Rv Park, lodging, and cabins. It is also in the town of West Yellowstone which is a darling little town with so much to do. The Rv sites are full hook ups and they have picnic benches on a leveled gravel site. There are no fires allowed here and it is pet friendly. . They have WiFi and cable. The sites are pretty close together, which I did not like. There is a grass area on each site which is wonderful for dogs. There are 4 laundry rooms and clean bathrooms and showers. We stayed for 2 days and would stay again.
Guide
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.

Ennis RV is a basic RV campground. It has wifi, laundry, showers, and full hook-ups for RVs. The wifi works very well, at least at our site near the office. We stayed in a tent site as it was the last site available. There’s a short trail in the back that has some nice views of the mountains (better I’m sure without wildfire smoke), cattle, and pasture. There’s also a clubhouse that apparently has a book exchange. No coin machine in the laundry room but there might be a chance to exchange in the office. There’s also a grill at each site- charcoal.
Guide
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.
GuideGreat rv park minutes from the Yellowstone entrance. Full hookups, decent site sizes. Everything is well maintained. There are bathrooms, multiple laundry facilities, playground. There is also a pay dump site for people not staying here.
Traveler
This campground has a boat dock, cabins, boats for rent, paddle boards for rent, kayaks for rent, water/power sites, full hook up sites, rv and tent sites, bathrooms, showers, store, firepits, firewood for sale, friendly people, boat trailer parking, sells fishing licenses, atv trails nearby.
RangerYellowstone Campgrounds did not open until May 15th due to snow and COVID so we had to find a last minute convenient RV park right in town two blocks from the gate.
This one was clean and well organized. Full hookups and neatly landscaped. It has the usual conveniences like laundry, toilets and showers, a playground and pavilion as well as a well organized dump station and good layout with at least 304 sites.
GuideOne must plan in advance for a reservation at Fishing Bridge RV Park in Yellowstone National Park. Full hookups available on paved sites.
walking distance to the store and NPS Visitor Center- but bring your bear spray as there are many right around.
this campground may be closed for reconstruction during 2019, but call to know for sure. We stay every June we can for Yellowstone Lake fishing and requisite sight seeing.
Guide
Stayed here while attending a music camp in Bozeman. The owners were super nice. Easy drive into Bozeman and to nearby trails. Shade. Showers and pretty quiet. Quite a few long term stayers. Cheaper than any motel and nice to have your own camper while doing stuff in town.
GuideWe camp there for three days with an RV.Its nice campground,they have full hook up,laundry,quiet
Traveler
Good location and very scenic lake at campground! Close to Yellowstone West entrance! No water or sewer hookups! No showers, but community water spouts and port a potty type toilets. Tight space for our Class A motorhome! ($10 sewer dump in town at Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park).
Ranger
We stayed here on our way home from Colorado. Pulled in it was 98 degrees so full hook up power was great. Swimming pool was an added benefit.. campground and shower house is very clean. We will stay here again.
Guide
We stayed here 6/10/21 during our visit to Yellowstone and Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. Right on the Yellowstone River in Gardiner. Good location with a great view. We were in site 7. Full hook ups and cable TV. We would stay there again.
Legend
We made a reservation here by calling them a couple weeks before we left for Yellowstone National Park. We were driving from the Seattle, WA area and figured this was about half way. There are several mountain passes to cross and we did not want to fill our water and propane tanks before leaving and carry a bunch of extra weight. This place offered full hook ups and propane sales on site.
We arrived almost too late for in person check in. Since we were hoping to leave early the next morning, we didn't want to wait for the office to open again in the morning. We called ahead and the really nice lady in the office stayed a few minutes to wait for us. They have a nice office with some local items for sale that make cute little gifts.
Sites are typical for an RV campground. Everyone is very close together. Picnic tables and full hook ups are available. There are also tent sites. The bathrooms are great. many stalls and several private showers. The grounds are beautiful. Green and watered. Covered picnic shelters are available.
Campers were quiet for a Saturday night. Lots of folks out and about, everyone was so friendly! The only downside is it's right next to the freeway. Even in the middle of the night, it was loud.
Guide
Drove our little 20ft trailer a long ways to get to this here but Yellowstone will always be worth it! Not many campgrounds to choose from when trailer camping in Yellowstone but we were happy with our choice. Had to book way in advance (as one might assume). We requested a couple spots when booking but did not lucky. We were placed smack dab in the middle of the campground. No privacy and minimal tree coverage. Although the host did place us near the other party we were with.
This site is in good proximity to many big attractions in the park. We were gone from camp from dawn til dusk so it didn’t really matter what campsite we were in. No showers, bathrooms decently clean (especially for how many campers camp there). Located a short walk from the river. Word of advice; these park rangers and hosts don’t F around. Read the rules and regulations before booking and if you cannot manage to abide by ALL the rules, be prepared to be ticketed or just book campgrounds outside of the park.
If you can, request the sites at the back of the campground nearest the river but don’t get your hopes up, it’s a gamble.
Traveler
I used the online registration late in the day, so we were happy to get the last spot. Very easy to find in the dark at 10:30 pm because driveway is well lit with little lights, however the driveway is gravel hill going down and very bumpy. Spots for the RV are full hook up & very close but well divided with bushes and lattice for privacy. The view from the back of the RV was great. The gardens on the property really are beautiful. There were two single shower/bathroom in the bathhouse. We did not go over to the hot springs because it was closed.
Guide
First time staying in an RV park and using hookups, we typically dry camp....WOW this place is amazing!! The staff has been wonderful. Check in process was seamless. Sites are fairly wide so there is some privacy. Not all sites have tree coverage, something to keep in mind if you prefer shade.
LegendThis campground has FHU and new rv sites are adequately sized. My complaint is that the site has little else to offer in terms of National park views. It is near Yellowstone lake but you cannot see it nor access it from the rv park. The park is within lodgepole pine forest with no trails to walk. Very few trees were retained within the new se toon of rv park. It is just a lot of concrete and pavement. Sites are level though!! Expensive at $90/night.
GuideThis is your average family campground with RV park and grass closely packed tent campground (like literally right on top of one another split by single pine trees). Very much like a KOA (pool, shop, WiFi, showers, laundry etc.) but half the price ($26/night for basic tent site). No fire pits, there is a picnic table for each site.
ScoutPark was full, this RV park worked when we couldn’t get a spot in the park. Gardiner is a sweet little town and the RV park is just off the Yellowstone River
Traveler
Staff at check-in are friendly and helpful. Amenities include bathrooms, dish washing site, clean water, bear boxes for food items and a personal outdoor grill in each camp site. There is a small store and boat rentals by the bay for those who want to explore the lake. Multiple camp sites for tents, motor homes and camper trailers. Most sites are bordered by a thick wooded area and gives the camper a feel of the true beauty of Yellowstone. Yellowstone lake is nearby with opportunities to kayak, rent a boat or just enjoy the solitude of the pristine alpine lake. This campground has its own personal hiking trail to the natural bridge that is worth the time to explore. I would definitely book this site again the next time I am in Yellowstone.
GuideReally nice RV Park just on the edge of town. Overlooks a bluff with gorgeous view. Nice level gravel parking pads with a grass rectangle beside each spot. Fabulous restaurant at entrance to park called Continental Divide. Wonderful food. People very accommodating.
GuideGreat staff and RV park. Excellent bathrooms, showers, and laundry. I lucked into this RV park as someone left early. Seems to be always booked and hard to get into. The back in sites to the south of the office are large and back right up to the river. I would stay here again!
GuideCampground was ok, but typical of lots of RV parks, had narrow sites. Our site was a level pull thru. Staff were nice and organized. Camp cat was great! The location is near a railway and the trains came through all night blowing horns and disturbed our sleep.
