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.

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.
Traveler
Great spot. Good views if you get a spot close to the the creek. Easy to get to and the road was in good condition. Some cell phone reception. Some flies. Some noise from the road close by but not an issue. Please be respectfull of wild life in the area (there are fish and small frogs in the creek). Please dont disturb them, dont get in the creek
Scout
I’ve lived in Idaho Falls almost my whole life and visited Ashton and Island Park countless times and had no idea this was here! I lucked into a first come spot because someone had cancelled their online reservation and was able to stay two nights here. Dog friendly, zero cell service like at all.
I got spot 4, right next to the delightful camp hosts! Electricity at each camp site, two double sites, all the trees you could ever want! A very very quiet and peaceful campground. 10/10. Will be back.
It’s steps away from Lower Mesa Falls! Not far from Ashton if you forget something and close enough to West Yellowstone if you want to stay somewhere further from the park!
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)
Traveler
This was the smallest campground we have ever stayed at. All hookups worked but your neighbors are truly only 4 feet away. This is not the place to go if you like hanging out outside the camper. Location to Yellowstone is great and if you only need a space to sleep and have full hookups, it’s fine.
Guide
I 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.
Traveler
Smaller mosquitoes but pretty with amenities
GuideNice campground near Adjacent to Gallatin River. Some sites are actually right next to the river. Our site, 43, up on the hill, would be perfect except for the proximity of the vault toilet. The vault toilet was extremely clean and did not smell at all, inside the room, however, at our campsite, every now and then, we would get an unpleasant waft. Camp sites are well spaced and some even have hook ups (not 43). Our site was unique and nice as it was tri-level. Level 1 is parking/trailer, level 2 is fire ring and table, level 3 is an area to set up a tent.
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
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.
GuideCherry Creek Campground comprises a total of nine campsites, per Recreation.gov and seeing for myself camping here for almost a week. The campsite is first come/first serve, and as of June to July 2024, there is a $23 per campsite fee for a max of 8 people and one vehicle. This fee is relatively low compared to other NPS campgrounds, honestly. It is very well-maintained and clean and consists of one vault toilet (aka: “outhouse”, as well as one large garbage container that is bear protected located at the end of the dirt road/entrance to main campground. There are also several bear protected containers located for every two sites allowing storage for campers’ food and food-related items and supplies helping campers stay safe from frequent bears in the area by storing their food, spices, herbs, pots, pans, dutch ovens, anything aromatic that would attract bears (perfumes, cologne, toothpaste, etc. included, FYI) set away from the campsites, at the end of the vehicle parking for each campsite, so close to the site’s fire pit to use, but also at a good distance away from your tent. There is also an information board next to the campsites’ vault toilet and bear protected garbage container with notices on any warning or alerts in the area, bear education, and policies and rules of the campground. There is also small containers to retrieve envelopes with attached receipts to pay the site’s fees with cash and deposit it in the dropbox next to the board, or else you are able to scan a QR code to pay online. It is a pack in/pack out (including all garbage) campsite. It has a lovely meadow area, allows pets on leash, and right off the banks of Hebgen Lake. It’s so beautiful! We will come again!
Guide
Located about 25 minutes from West Yellowstone off of HWY 20, this campground is a great jumping off point to explore Yellowstone park. There are other campsites including a couple KOAs located closer, but they're busier with campsites closer together and fewer trees and minimal shade. This is set back far enough from the highway that it's very quiet with ample space between campsites. Some sites have electrical hookups. Ours didn't but the weather was perfect and we didn't need AC at all.
We did have a campers nearby who showed up the last two days of our 5 days full of boys who were a bit noisy early in the morning (before 730a), but we didn't really mind. There was a spigot to fill our water tanks in the loop we stayed, but we filled up from the area host who has a hose for that purpose before we wen to the site. Due to the location in the loop, you have to go all the way around the loop before you get to the spigot, so it was good we filled up before we went to the loop.
Ranger
Very well maintained campgrounds. $25/night or $31 with elec. Very clean restrooms (kudos to the hosts!). Site access to river for fishing, tubing or kayaking. Great hiking too!
RangerGood sites with river access. 25$ without power (powered sites are $31
GuideFree dispersed camping location about 45 minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Open camping area to set up.
RangerThis small campground is tucked away on beautiful hebgen lake. It is a forrest Service campground with pit toilets, very clean. It has picnic tables and fire rings at its established sites. It is a rather long bumpy road into the main campground area on the Lake. There are two more primitive sites along the road coming in, these dont have lake views but are very private, if you needed to run a generator, you really dont have neighbors at either of these sites. Keep following the road in to the final 5 sites or so on the lake with the pit toilets.
TravelerGreat spot, we picked the spot by the river, its butiful.
GuideWe barely fit our tent into our site and had to back our truck up all the way to the tent in order to fit. The staff is super friendly, though. Restrooms with 2 showers, dish washing station, and laundry. Close to town. At 9 pm, a light went on above our tent. It was so bright on the white top of our tent that it was like the sun was directly above us. We had to dig out a tarp and cover the top of the tent. So, I might avoid site 36 when staying here.
Guide
Cutest little non-electric cabin. Included full size bunk bed, desk. Plenty of space for your things. Bathrooms were clean, showers available, outlets available in bathrooms for blow dryers. Restaurant and gift shop. Perfect stop between Grand Teton and Yellowstone
RangerStayed in the cabins, campground has water, clean bathrooms and showers, and coin laundry. Right across the road from the main hotel lodge that has a camp store, wifi, and restaurant.
LegendStopped here to find several spots available. You can reserve online or just show up and pay at the fee station. Each space has its own bear box, table and grill. We stayed in a back in non Hookup site. There are Electric sites available too.
Guide
We pulled in and was greeted right away by the camp host who directed us to an open spot. We had a site with an electric hook up for $26 a night. Spot was great and very clean with bathrooms close by. We fit our 33’ pull behind easily. Close to the main road so you can hear traffic but it was tolerable!
LegendStaff friendly, view lovely.
Definitely peeved that there is a $30 upcharge for non-residents and they only give discounts to Idaho military. Interesting!! North Carolina should consider doing this since we have BEAUTIFUL state parks too. Do what Idaho is doing to everyone else...kind of sad...would have given five stars if wasn't for this....army vet of 22 years.
Guide
Good forestry in between sites. Lower A loop is closer to the river. A bit buggy mid summer but tolerable
GuideBeautiful camp ground right on the lake with full hooks ups.
RangerSpent the night driving through on a road trip. Nothing terribly special, but a nice clean campsite in picturesque woods and a river running through. Great spot to explore nearby national parks.
GuideThis is a beautiful campground, it's next to the river, lot's of trees and everything is green. I'd go back again.
