High in the Caribou–Targhee National Forest, 90 miles northeast of Idaho Falls, Henrys Lake is a stone’s throw from the Continental Divide and the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park. Situated in a wide, flat basin, and surrounded by 10,000-foot peaks, this shallow alpine lake is as popular with migrating birds as it is with local sport fishers. The small state park at Henrys Lake is a great spot for spending a few days fishing, lounging and wildlife watching, or for exploring some of the area’s other attractions, including Yellowstone, Harriman State Park, Mesa Falls, and various hiking, horseback, and ATV trails.
Campers visiting Henrys Lake State Park will find more than 80 tent and RV sites situated near the lake’s eastern shore. Sites are equipped with electrical and water hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits with cooking grills. Some sites are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include flush restrooms, showers, picnic areas. A dump station is located onsite. The park also has a few camping cabins for rent. Dogs are permitted in the park, but must remain leashed. Camping is available from mid-May through mid-October. Sites are $20–$31/night; cabins are $50–$55/night; reservations are accepted.
For fishing on the lake, the park has a boat ramp and fish cleaning station. Yellowstone cutthroat is the most common at Henrys Lake, but there is also a significant number of cutthroat-rainbow (cut-bow) hybrids. Paddlers can launch from the beach area; kayak rentals are available. Wildlife watching from the park’s 3 miles of hiking and biking trails—as well as the lake’s shoreline–can be exceptional. Besides the prolific number of migrating birds, including waterfowl, eagles and hawks, there are frequent sightings of deer, moose, and antelope. The park also hosts seasonal nature programs.
$60 - $70 / night

Perfect location for whole park.
When cloudy and wet it's a little dark, but that's the weather's fault!
Great showers included in price and close to village for preprandial drunks
Scout
Great views of the lake and mountains. Visits from the resident bison on property. Don't count on WiFi which was pretty much nonexistent. Great laundry and showers. Tim & Trudy are great hosts and sources of knowledge about cool things to see along with Yellowstone.
Guide
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
Scout
I’m not sure why this place isn’t 5/5! We booked this site last minute as we have been exploring Yellowstone with no registrations for overnight stays. We called at 6pm (when they close) looking for space and the host said she will stay open for 30 mins till we get there. 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. No bear boxes but kept everything in the car and we were good. Very bumpy road to get to the campground but sometimes it takes a rough road to get off the beaten path :) only thing was that each site has big metal fire pits and ours was totally missing. The sites next to us were vacant so we just stole the one from there.
GuideWe were only able to book 1 night online. However when we checked in we asked if they had an extra night & we got lucky to get one as the person in front of us canceled his reservation! So don’t give up if u can only get one night!
Loved this campsite. We were in loop J and our side was semi-private. Fires were allowed. Each campsite has a large bear box. Bathrooms were good and each location had a dishwashing station with drinking water near it. Generators not allowed from 8:00 PM-8:00Am A handful of shops around and a gas station near by. Showers were awesome & clean & they have TONS of washers & Dryers for Laundry!! By far one of the best NP campgrounds!
Guide
Stayed 8-1-24
Good: KOA like expected, but great view.
Bad: Mile long dirt road to get to entrance.
Would I stay again: ?, I might try West entrance next time.
Scout
Really enjoyed the stay. Really nice shower are. Nice electric hook-ups at the rv sites. Only some sites have septic, and unfortunately, the dump station was down during our visit, but we got to hear stories from a native American. It was truly an amazing stay. We also enjoyed bird watching and kayaking. Of course, our main point of the visit was Yellowstone not very far away. ( gas and other stuff is cheaper in Montana)
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.
TravelerThis was the perfect place to stay for our Yellowstone trip. You are super close to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and the campground itself has incredible amenities- laundry, free showers, clean bathrooms, and stores nearby. No complaints about this campground!
Ranger
The staff is wonderful. Nice level spots with lots of space and awesome river views. Full hookups, nice clean bathrooms, game room and little store that has everything.
LegendIf you like trains this place is for you. If not.. well they’re pretty prevalent. Thankfully we enjoy the sound of the train whistle. We got here late and left early ish. So didn’t get to take in all the amenities. But appreciated the grassy spot and the breeze thru the beautiful aspen trees
RangerDriving to the campsite on a washboard gravel road was rough and dusty. The park is nice with lake views. The camp host was phenomenal. Our cord did not reach the electrical box so they loaned us an extension. I was a little disappointed with the shower pressure. It was a great place to stay and see Yellowstone
Traveler
The staff was great. Shop open 8-9 and had everything you might need, drinks, ice, and keep sacks. There is also a pizza shop attached. The shop delivers to your site or you can eat in.
GuideLittle on the pricier end however there are a number of amenities such as laundry (additional cost), dish wash station, and hot showers at no additional cost.
Tent sites were a bit small but do-able and it was nice being on the water.
Quick access to west Yellowstone.
Guide
This was a nice campground between Norris and Mammoth. Pretty tight on space but we still had privacy. Vault toilet was very clean and had a purell dispenser.
Scout
This place seems to be nicer than nearby campsites, but stinky toilets with no toilet paper, outdoor shower with cold water for $54 for a small camper was quite disappointing. Trains and highway noises are extremely loud as others mentioned
TravelerWe stayed in a large pull through site in our van because it was all that was available during last minute booking. We enjoyed a single night here on a level gravel pad with clean private showers nearby, and we were able to sleep in because of a long travel day.
TravelerThe staff was very professional and got us in a last minute tent spot on Memorial Day weekend. Beautiful campground, just a little crowded.
GuideThe hosts here are so nice. The place is well kept. $$$ but worth it.
GuideAll the premium sites on the lake are fabulous 👌. Our hosts who checked us in friendly and helpful.
Traveler
Nice. Very clean, well designed park with grass spaces between spots,, playground, dog walks. Great showers
Guide
This small little campground is nothing fancy and while the sites aren't particularly spacious the were enough to have both our back and side patio out with awnings and plenty of space around it. We absolutely love the area, the management and the rustic restaurant on site. Stayed for a full month, and found that the lakes around the area are just as gorgeous as making the drive into Yellowstone. Cliff lake is only a few miles away and by far the most gorgeous landscape and lake we have ever seen. We will be back for a month because you cannot beat their monthly price with anything remotely close to it in the area. Ennis is a bit of a drive for groceries but a cute town with some good food/drink options.
Guide
So easy to get to! The loft was closed when we went. I think there were a lot of mice, but we didn’t have to deal with any of that. Very pretty views and such a great setup. Two single beds that we pushed together were pretty comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
GuideAs far as KOA campgrounds go, this one was nice. The sites were close which was no surprise but we didn't spend much time at our site anyway. There are some RV sites along the creek side that have a lot more space and they also have nice swing benches. The store is well stocked and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The showers are private and clean and plenty of hot water. I didn't use the laundry machines but they look clean and updated. The location of the campground is perfect. It is very close to West Yellowstone and the entrance into the park. You could hear the traffic on the highway but it wasn't too bad. The campground was quiet at night. I would stay here again.
ScoutGot into town after 6pm, wife & dog ready to settle in, had a drive thru slot near showers. Shower’s awesome, clean , camp sites less than 15 feet apart, no fire pit… Wi-Fi lacking… bandwidth issues… spinning wheel of death… T Mobile cell phone was better source
GuideI rarely stay at KOA’s as I’ve found the sites poorly kept, usually muddy site, no grass and rv’s packed in like sardines. This one didn’t disappoint. Roads throughout the campground are rutted and in rough shape. They obviously hadn’t mowed and with all the staff driving around on golf carts seems they could have “tidied” up our space since it had dirt all over the patio. And does KOA ever invest in gravel to add to sites that obviously need it? I’ve seen state parks that only have volunteer hosts do a far better job of cleaning up campsites. We decided to splurge and got a “deluxe” patio site believing we would have no mud and more space. Hardly deluxe but definitely expensive. Very small patio with a sidewalk (which was not useful), muddy and absolutely nowhere to tie our dogs out without being disrespectful to campers on either side. The sewer h/u to the camper next to us was right in front of our “patio” and picnic table. Not nice to look at when eating/ sitting out. Especially with clear sewer hose. The perimeter around the campground was full of junk and unsightly. The entire place looked old and rundown. The camp store was not well stocked with food items. I would guess they close soon for the season so don’t bother to restock and the restaurant was closed. Bathroom near our site was old and in need of an update but was reasonably clean. To add to all of this the campers on one side of us felt they didn’t need to tie out there two dogs. So the dos of course kept trying to come over to greet our dogs which of course drove our dogs crazy. Yellowstone was on our bucket list and we drove across country to see it. Yellowstone did not disappoint but this KOA definite did.
TravelerHorrible location, lots of foot and vehicle traffic, very small camping spaces. Cars go as fast as they want, I was right on the main road AND next to the walking path. Yeah it sucked . Never again.
