About

National Park

Yellowstone National Park

Bridge Bay Campground (elevation 7,800 ft.) is located near Yellowstone Lake, one of the largest, high-elevation, fresh-water lakes in North America. Campers at Bridge Bay will enjoy spectacular views of the lake and the Absaroka Range rising above the lake's eastern shore. ADA Access: Three accessible campsites. Accessible restrooms are located in Loop A of campground and in the picnic area along the entrance road to Bridge Bay Marina.

Bridge Bay Campground was named for its proximity to Bridge Bay Marina on Yellowstone Lake. The area is quite scenic, with wooded areas, open meadows and some limited views of the lake. Because of its location, the campground is popular with fishing and boating enthusiasts. The campground offers open sites with few trees or shadier options in the wooded upper loops of the campground. The location is within sight of the western shoreline of Yellowstone Lake, and at 7,800 feet in elevation.

There are over 400 regular sites and 4 group sites available at Bridge Bay Campground. Early in the season, several loops are closed to reservations due to potential bear activity. RV, tent and combination RV/tent sites are available. Sites for hikers and cyclists are also available. Portions of the lower loops of the campground are more open with fewer trees. The upper loops are more wooded, with a combination of sunny and shaded sites. Some sites have a distant view of Yellowstone Lake. Additional campground facilities and services include:

There are no electricity, water, and sewage hook ups at any of the campsites. 16 public restrooms with flush toilets and faucets with cold running water. Dishwashing stations are located at the restroom buildings. Personal portable showers are permitted at your campsite only if the wastewater is collected and disposed of properly. All campsites have a picnic table and fire grate and water is accessible nearby. Though not available in the campgrounds, complimentary internet service at approved locations is available to registered guests of Xanterra-operated campgrounds. Cell service is limited.

Great camping location!

Stayed here for four nights this past July with my buddy and brother. It was an amazing trip that left us with life long memories. Tucked off the main loop, and right across the street from Lake Yellowstone, this area was packed full of wildlife. There is a boat launch, where they do AM/PM tours, rentals, etc. They also have fishing gear and a camp store. My only gripe would be they definitely pack the campsites in here, and in the summer you want to ensure you have a shaded spot as the sun can beat down on you pretty well. I would highly recommend this campground.

Great campground in a wonderful place

The well established and well managed campground is nicely located within Yellowstone National Park. It has toilet block and pot washing facilities on each loop and some welcome elk friends who remained on site pretty much throughout both of our stays there.

Knocked a point off as:

   - our second stay on the quieter I loop had us pitched on a site which was quite uneven. I suspect a smaller tent may have found a flatter spot.

   - lots of people have campfires so it does smoke up a bit. I love the campfire smell but do worry that it may have a negtive impact on local wildlife. Driving towards camp in the evening and it's visible from well before arriving at camp so it's invasive in my opinion.

Would recommend the outer loops as the first areas do look a bit crowded and lack some of the privacy that I quite enjoy on a campsite.

No shower facilities nor wifi for those who want them, though if you're a Verizon customer you're about 5 minutes driving away from a few decent signal spots (tested on an iPhone 14 so may not be as successful on other devices. T-Mobile sucks and barely had SOS throughout Yellowstone so your loved ones will appreciate you more during your stays if you have Verizon).
