"Right on the edge of the Yellowstone River, about 90 minutes north of Yellowstone NP. This is an RV Park, so no tents are allowed. The view of the river and the mountains is fantastic."
"It is 20-30 minutes outside the north entrance. Communal campfire every night. It’s right in the river with benches to sit and enjoy the water. "
"The KOA is tucked away from the main road. Is has beautiful views of the mountains and is very quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!"
"Bad: Mile long dirt road to get to entrance.
Would I stay again: ?, I might try West entrance next time."
$26 - $185 / night
"We love this area, and this site was fine for us...however, it is a bit of a steep walk down some steps from the parking spot to the picnic area. And again from the picnic area down to the water."
"The adjacent Hyalite Reservoir is spectacularly scenic. Bring your favorite watercraft or floaty, because you'll want to go out onto the water to explore, taking in the fantastic scenery."
"Got a beautiful spot just feet away from the Yellowstone River. Wasn't sure how long we would stay but decided to stay the full week allowance immediately upon getting set up."
"$18 without a Montana fishing license, but found a GORGEOUS spot on the Yellowstone River... on July 4th. Not bad. Pretty place."
"Great location - $18 - steps away from the Yellowstone River - awesome view. Would totally recommend."

$15 / night
"Camp site was 20 feet away from the Beautiful Yellowstone River. The river was moving at a very good clip, as was the wind! Clean vault toilet, didn't see any water hook ups or pumps."
"Campground is a short drive to Yellowstone National Park. Their is a walk-in tent only area as well. Cost is currently FREE! with a 14 day stay limit. "
"Unique area of Paradise Valley that doesn’t have any trees near the lake or campsites. Wide open but very pretty 360 degree views."
"Nice spots around the lake. A bit windy. The fee was 18, which means $20 unless you have change."
$10 / night
"The proximity to Yellowstone, the price, and the charm of this place made me love it, but I think there are a few things that would annoy people."
"This place is right outside the northern entrance to Yellowstone."
"It was last minute I read about this spot on Dyrt and was pretty relieved to find something with great reviews and relatively close to home in Bozeman."
"There's about three good spots up on the hill, the two out on the edge have reliable service. But as soon as you go back up a bit, it vanishes.
Stunning views of Yellowstone and the mountains."
$25 / night
"Access to so many great wonders this park has to offer. Also on a don’t miss drive into Montana for one of the most beautiful mountain drives ever."
"Beautiful campground near Mammoth Hot Springs and the surrounding village."
TravelerWe stayed here just one night passing through. There were only a few sites occupied. The campground is split into two halves. To the right are about 25 sites with electricity. To the left is a bigger loop without electricity. We got a site near the river, which was rushing. So the noise of the road was less offensive. No cellular service, at least no T-Mobile connection.
TravelerOverall the place is cute and clean. It is well taken care of. They let us check in early and the laundromat on site was a plus. We took advantage of the hot tubs on our two night stay. The tubs are great and super popular. Unfortunately, the sites are pretty small and close together. For what you get, it seemed a bit spendy.
TravelerThe campground is clean and well-maintained with great views of Chico Peak and the Yellowstone River. Our campsite had great access for our son to throw rocks in the water. It got a bit windy (coming from the North) for a bit, but we it calmed down by night. There was also a bit of road noise, but that gradually slowed down at night, as well. Overall, would recommend this as a nice place to stay the night, especially if you're floating the river!
ScoutThere are 3 or 4 spots in this area. I came in Labor Day weekend at 6:30 pm and was able to get a spot.
TravelerBLM campground right on the Yellowstone River. It has 17 numbered sites plus a tent area. It was free but has now gone to a fee system of $15 a night. 18 miles north of the YNP entrance at Gardiner. We were the camp hosts in 2024 and again now in 2025.
RangerLast minute find after spending time exploring the Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone on our drive back to Washington State. Great spot-clean and spacious.
ScoutGood spot
ScoutThis location was almost impossible to get to, my father took his RV up the hill before we took ours up & his almost bottomed out. There’s no way to know how bad that road is until you actually start driving up it (it’s a tiny road on the side of the mountain) super bumpy, rocks everywhere. Don’t recommend for a camper of any kind.
GuideMe and my husband camped at sight 5 and it was amazing! There is a trail that leads down to the creek. It got a little chilly in the 30s at night and mosquitoes will def chew you alive. Bring spray! We were not bothered by any wildlife. There is a log bench there to sit on by the fire ( B&B ) and perfect spots for hanging a hammock. Breath taking view of the mountains and creek and very peaceful. We will definitely go back to this one!
