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
Office staff and owners are great! Areas are clean and neat.
Guide
Nice campground with clean bathrooms. Nice shady sites on rock creek but close together , also more open sites up higher near road.
ScoutIn short the campground had a bear owners knew about, but didn’t inform the people booking. 3 year old child gets attacked & all campers immediately evacuated. Campground doesn’t reimburse the patrons as promised. Greedy low life’s.
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.
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.
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.
TravelerThe staff was very professional and got us in a last minute tent spot on Memorial Day weekend. Beautiful campground, just a little crowded.
Guide
Stayed one night late March. The road in wasn’t terrible, a little rutted past the gate up to the cabin, but easy enough to manage. It was quite cold when we arrived, and we started a fire pretty quickly. The cabin has an electric stove, small fridge and freezer, and a couple small lamps and even a toaster and coffee maker. The cabin is quite drafty and we struggled to keep it warm. We pinned a sheet up in the doorway to keep the heat contained in the sleeping area, and that helped considerably.
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
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.
RangerThis place was great! Very peaceful and quiet. Not super private but a lot of trees for shade and privacy. Easy access to Lamar valley and Yellowstone Grand Canyon.
Showers are included and are awesome. Very clean and hot water. Great laundry and you can buy a cup of coffee that has free refills. People who work at the campground are very nice and helpful.
TravelerWe stayed her for 1 night on a road trip in one of the tent sites and it was perfect. There were several options to put our tent on our site including an area covered by trees and secluded from the rest of the park. It was right on the Yellowstone River. The staff was VERY friendly!
ScoutThe host was super accommodating. It was raining and she recommended the “cabin” so we were sheltered. The cabin had two cots in it. So used our sleeping bag and pads. Showers were hot. Cleaning drinking water. Portapotty by the “cabin”. Short drive into the town, which is worth a visit! Very cute.
GuideFor cyclists and hikers … Canyon campground does have a hiker/biker campsite, and one thing that marks this out from other Hiker/Biker sites is just how quiet it is. There are lots of pitches, with food storage, picnic tables and fire pits. The staff at reception said that they had never turned a hiker or biker away. No charging facilities, but I discreetly charged a power pack at night in the toilet block. Recommend staying 2 nights and touring all the Yellowstone Canyon viewpoints.
GuideFor cyclists and hikers … Indian Creek does have a hiker/biker campsite, but please note: it is limited to TWO pitches with a strict policy of not sharing a pitch. I just turned up and both pitches were free so I was lucky. As of June 2023, I could not find any other campsites on the northern loop of Yellowstone between Madison and Canyon campgrounds. Back country camping for cyclists is ‘illegal’ (according to the park ranger at Tower), so plan accordingly. At Indian Creek there is food storage, picnic tables, and fire pits. Pit toilets only. Very helpful staff in the reception building.
GuideThe 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! We happened to have a trailer hitch problem and the amazing staff were quick to help and ensure we were taken care of. The bathrooms and showers were clean. We loved the dog friendly fenced in area.
GuideWoke up in the mountains at this campsite. Stayed here for the second year in a row because we loved it so much the first time. Great place to go stargazing. We stopped for coffee and lunch in Bozeman. They have the cutest bookstore that has "Blind date with a book" where books are covered in brown wrapping paper and you pick a book based on the staff's small hints about the story.
RangerCamped here many times over the years, it was our favorite place in the park. It's a bit more like a National Forest CG because it's somewhat off the beaten path and quiet. It is certainly more crowded these days than it used to be, back then it rarely filled.
The site are good, some more private than others. It is NOT a place for Big Rigs, I think the length limit was 35' last time I was there (vehicle + trailer or whatever you're pulling) and they strictly enforced that. The volunteers at the entrance cabin actually brought out a tape measure and measured my 4Runner and 17' Casita at 31' so we got in. Many rigs behind us in line were too big and were turned away.
The creeks (Indian & Obsidian) contain small Brook Trout. For supplies, Mammoth is the closest place.
Have been the in June, July August & September.
The campground is totally on the reservation system unlike a few years ago. No 1st come, 1st serve anymore.
GuideConvenient and clean fun campground
GuideThe best campsite I have ever stayed at! Beautiful views, heated and clean bathrooms with hot water and showers. Charging stations in bathrooms and lounge area. Laundry room with cozy waiting space (charging stations there also). Louise and her husband are icons and made us feel so welcome and safe. Thank you KOA, can't wait to stay again!
GuideSuch a great RV park. The restrooms, laundry, and all of the grounds are spotless. The owners are so helpful and friendly and the location and views are fantastic. we would definitely stay here again.
RangerThis is probably the nicest national park campground we have been too so far. Sites were large and with good tree coverage provided shade and some privacy. Each loop has restroom and dish was station and each site has its own bear box. The main building can be further away but has laundry and showers. This is the perfect place from where to visit the "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" but it could also be use as your base to visit all or most of Yellowstone.
TravelerThis campsite was beautiful.
The sites are spread out and spread between the trees. Even with every site full, you still have space.
Every site has a fire ring and a bear box. Each loop has its own restrooms and dish wash station. Each loop is farther back from the main road and the overall campground is large.
The check in building also has laundry and showers. You get a punch card when you check in that gives you one free shower per person per day for your stay, and additional can be purchased. This building also sells ice, firewood, and other essentials.
Several gift shops, food options (gasp), and a gas station are just across or down the main road from checkin.
At checkin we were told there were less bear sightings as some of the other campgrounds in the park. They still have a bear policy that says no scents outside of hard sided vehicles or bear box. We were told the rangers are more likely to give you trouble for breaking the policy than the bears were, and while bear spray was recommended, it would not save you from a ticket from the rangers.
Quiet hours begin at 8pm, after which rvs cannot run their generators. The rangers actually drive around and enforce this, which is wonderful!
I would recommend making sure you have enough gas to get you out of the park to the nearest town. While there are several 24 hour pumps in the park including one right near the campground, the entire park lost power during our visit, and none of the gas pumps worked on the day we were leaving.
Also if you have T-mobile, there is coverage for emergency calls only in this part of the park.
TravelerThe camp grounds were nice and clean. As we’re all facilities. Hosts were friendly. A little noisy because it it right on the main road.
