Reservations are available at this private RV park in Gardiner, which sits along the Yellowstone River just outside the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The park runs May through October, accommodates RVs up to 55 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and rates start around $133 per night. Sites are assigned, and the campground is small enough that booking ahead makes sense during peak summer months.
The riverside location is the defining feature here. Several reviewers mention watching pronghorn and elk on the opposite bank from their sites, and David H. describes it plainly as "right on the Yellowstone River in Gardiner." RV sites sit close together with little separation between them, and tent sites are similarly snug, offering minimal privacy. That said, the highway-adjacent location stays quiet at night according to multiple visitors, and the sound of the river carries through camp.
Cleanliness is the most consistently mentioned detail across reviews. Eight reviewers bring it up independently, citing bathrooms, showers without timers, and laundry facilities. Staff responsiveness also comes up repeatedly. Campers note the park includes WiFi, cable TV hookups, and a dog-friendly back area where leashed pets can roam. Some RV sites are not fully level, so carrying extra leveling blocks is worth considering.
The north entrance to Yellowstone sits within easy reach, making this a practical base for day trips to Mammoth Hot Springs and Lamar Valley. The town of Gardiner provides restaurants, gas, and resupply options within a short drive. Ann F. notes the site "backed up to the Yellowstone River," which gives some RV spots a direct water view.
Campers wanting more space or a different setup can look at Gallatin NF Dispersed near Gardiner to the north, or check the Yellowstone Big Rock Inn nearby for a lodging-adjacent alternative.
