Grant Village Campground — Yellowstone National Park

Decent spot, towards the bottom of the park but still a decent distance from everything. Small selection at the camp.

While the sites don’t have hookups, the facilities are great! Restroom and dish washing station in each loop. Central shower/laundry house. 2 showers included per night of stay.

Perfectly situated between Old Faithful and Colter Bay of Grand Teton.

I Loop has the best view of the lake. Keep in mind the sites can’t accommodate anything over 30’ for RVs. Many sites are pull through “banana”.

As of July 2023, there is construction between Grant Village and Old Faithful. This is causing delays of at least 30 min.

For cyclists and hikers … Grant Village campground does have a hiker/biker. There are lots of pitches, with food storage and picnic tables. No charging facilities, but I discreetly charged a power pack at night in the toilet block. Full facilities here, including showers for $5, laundry and a reasonably large grocery store.

Grant Village Campground is located right next to Yellowstone Lake, although we did not access the lake through the campground during our stay. The campsites are pretty close to one another, but considering we were only there to sleep and then get back out into the park, this did not bother us. The amenities available at the entrance to the campground were great, and the shower/laundry facilities were clean and had plenty of available machines/showers for each camper to get in and out in a reasonable amount of time. The showers were honestly the best camp showers I’ve seen, they were clean, had hot water, had locking stalls for privacy, and I was able to shower without drenching my clothes and towel. The office staff were also very polite and helpful. We were even able to get a spot by calling the same day we wanted to stay, although I would definitely book ahead if you can (we paid ~$38 after taxes for one night). Would definitely camp here again.

While you are very close to your neighbor campers, the views are amazing and this campground isn’t too far from old faithful! Showers are included and the bathrooms are kept very clean! I love it!

A basic national park, no hook-up campground with mostly pull through sites that were very small. The arcs of the pull throughs are tight, so it makes it even more challenging for larger RVs. Check out the photo of a large 5th wheel that was crammed into a site across from mine. I have no idea how they got out of there. The asphalt is old so the pull through is not always level. Grant has great access to the southern part of the park including Old Faithful but stayed here in July 2022 after the flooding in June and there were delays in getting around because of road work. I stayed in site 250 in the middle of H loop for two nights and one night in 323 near the end of a cul de sac which was less crowded and much nicer. I only noticed one bathroom per loop which is not great, and I would rate them a C. The centralized bath house is huge and I would rate that a B+

This is your Typical NP campground, ment for smaller rigs and tent campers. We are 32ft Class C and we managed to squeeze into site 42. It was still cold when we visited in May and most of the campground was still closed. Only loop A was open. Water and dump in campground, laundry and hot showers also available.

Tight but flat camping spots. Each night includes two showers with unlimited hot water. Shower place also has coin operated laundry and general camp store. Hike down past the amphitheater to the beach for stellar sunsets.

We were there in early June and they had a cold front coming in with snow! Campground was for tent camping, no hookups.

(September 10 stay) The campground was very full, but that's to be expected. Our site was a walk from the lake, and we had elk walk right next to the site twice. There were clean toilets, a dishwashing station, bear boxes, and fresh water spout. Pretty generic and everything you'd expect from a national park, which is not a bad thing.

Stayed at RV site since the tent sites were full. Bathroom is clean and the dish washing section was a nice addition. Garbage disposal was in the loop, but the recycling was near the entrance. Shared bear proof food box close enough to you.

The campground is nice, not super loud. The bathrooms were always clean, but usually full of people. The sites were huge and we were able to set up a couple hammocks. The bear boxes seemed to be shared though since some sites didn't have them. Also, we heard elk at night which was super cool.

I have a 23’ motor home and our spot was really tight. There were other larger RVs that were crammed in the trees, so beware of that. It downpoured one of our nights here and there was 6 inches of standing water around much of the campground. If you’re a tent camper, be mindful of the low spots. Great access to a trail and Yellowstone Lake.

We loved it here. You are right in the park and close to everything making it easy to get out early and beat the crowds. Some sites are better then others, but we had a great one in site e156. Large site with plenty of privacy from other sites. The campground sits on Yellowstone lake which was perfect for afternoon swims. We will definitely be back.

Good location on the south end of the park. Bathrooms are clean and well located.  Sites  can be small and close together. My 30' airstream barely fits.

Of course it’s in Yellowstone, so awesome location! We found the campsites too tight and close to one another. If you’re interested in your neighbor’s conversations, then maybe that’s great for you but in our case I wasn’t. Which they didn’t care much about and were even louder. Otherwise, for $28 a night you get a spot to sleep in Yellowstone. No hookup, but a dump station. And firewood for $10 each box. A reflection of what’s happening to Yellowstone in general. More people, more money.

Campground was small and so were the sites. If you’re driving an RV, it’s tight. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

Good

Pretty good site, but pretty packed and close to others. The campers before us hadn't moved out til we arrived. We were happy to walk over to the shower building even though we had to pay. Overall it had good amenities and it got the job done.

As you would expect, sites can be challenging to grab at peak times, and you aren’t really alone (this isn’t dispersed camping after all), but the bathrooms were clean, our pull-through site was easy to get in and out of, and it was conveniently located.

If you’re heading into Yellowstone after spending time in the Tetons, spending your first night at Grant Village makes total sense. Make sure to head to nearby West Thumb Guyser Basin and Yellowstone Lake before moving on to the rest of the park!

We got a pull thru site in Grant Village with no hookups for a hybrid trailer and large SUV. Showers were closed due to Covid but there were flush toilets and a dishwashing station. The campground was packed but that's Yellowstone in August. Get up early and avoid the crowds to enjoy the park attractions. They take bear safety very seriously. Do not leave any food out!

I usually avoid campgrounds inside of National Parks at all costs. They are overcrowded and overpriced and often undermine the true nature of camping. When traveling with others, I tend to opt for dispersed camping or more rustic camping outside of parks. This road trip I am traveling alone and decided to stay inside the park for more peace of mind. If you are into staying inside of national parks, this is a great spot.

All of the "cons" are cons that I would apply to any major national park campground: you are on top of your neighbor, car traffic and noise all night for people arriving late, people pulling in with RV's at 1130pm, line for the bathroom, etc. These are specific gripes with Grant campground, just national park campsites in general. If you are okay with that, this is truly a great spot.

I was kind of hating it, my spot was on an end cap where the road turns and I have never felt so exposed at a campspot, but there was such a huge redeeming factor that I would actually stay here again happily.

That redeeming factor is the access to Yellowstone Lake. This was something I truly didn't realize going into it. Luckily my spot was about ten feet from a trailhead leading down to the shore. Less than a one minute walk and I felt like I was transported to a different planet. It felt like sitting on the coast in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoyed a drink down there in the evening and a hot breakfast down there in the morning. It was so vast and open and given that it was less than a one minute walk away, there was only one other person on the entire visible shoreline. Crazy. Such a gem and for that reason alone, I would return always.

This is one of Yellowstone’s bigger campgrounds. As such, the sites are closely packed for the most part, although there are some that offer more privacy, all are different dep. on where they put you (cannot pick your own site). Check-in lady was friendly and cordial (Judy from Missouri). Bathrooms were clean. Sites are mostly level, mostly shaded. We were lucky and had nice neighbors which makes the closeness more tolerable. Some sites actually have paths that go down to the lake, if you are lucky enough to get one of those it’s an added bonus. They have a shower house but it was not open this summer due to COVID, so part of our fee was refunded. No WiFi and cell coverage was close to zilch.

Great spot for viewing Geysers! Nice campground, didn’t have hookups but water and dump down the block. Close to gas station and LP fill-up and service station. Not many in the Yellowstone park, so it was convenient. Stayed in H loop space was spread out and provided shade and cover.

I stayed here with my friend for 2 days. I don’t have any check in info since it she handled that but the site was big, there was potable water and the bathrooms were clean. It’s a quick walk to the west thumb of Yellowstone lake with views of the east entrance mountain range. It was a great location for us to meet up since I was in Tetons for a few days. Easy to go to and from the west and East side of the park. I have Verizon and randomly had 2 bars of service. No WiFi in the area. The general store had a ton of merchandise to select from. My friend really liked the area and said she stay here again.

Without a doubt.... Greatest Place on Earth.....

Campsite had great services; plenty of restrooms, washroom for dishes and showers for campers.  The check-in was super easy and they were very friendly.

The only issue we had was getting our camper into the site.  They advertised our particular site as a pull-through site and we nearly got our camper stuck trying to pull in.  It took some doing, but we got parked properly.  It would have been far easier to just back in to this particular lot.

Our camper is just over 31', so that could have been a factor.

...your trip to Yellowstone. Grant village is located incredibly close to many of the nearby attractions you’ll find at Yellowstone. It’s on the southern part of the large ring road you’ll use to visit everything. Just a 7 minute drive from here and you’re at old faithful or a 5 minute walk and your at the beach of Yellowstone lake. Make sure you’re prepared with bear deterrent as this is bear country. Always store foods in your vehicle or trailers. The only downside i ever had was that this is a very popular campground with smaller sites so there’s a ton of folks here. If you’re looking to get away from people this isn’t the place however we found it fun meeting our neighbors.

Big campground and lots of noise, but lots of amenities. Probably good for families who want an easy trip, but not great for those wanting to escape the Yellowstone crowds.

Make reservations several months in advance because this campground is close to old faithful . The checkin desk can get very busy
