    Tiny Town Campground

    Not for those who want sleep

    We arrived to this quaint little place after a long fun filled day in Yellowstone National Park.  If you are looking for peace and quiet look elsewhere.   If you have young children that go to bed before midnight look elsewhere.  If you are looking for air-conditioning  do not rent the tents because there isn't any.  While the place has some cute rustic charm they are located behind a bar and the music goes until 10pm on Sundays  and midnight on Friday and Saturday.  They have live bands which are so loud that you can feel the music and cannot hear anything else. They do provide ear plugs but they do not help.  I enjoying  writing  and was unable to do so because i could not  concentrate, even my noise canceling Boze headphones did not provide any relief.  They also need to update security because we had people coming onto the property without using the provided code.

    Beaver Creek Campground

    Ranger review Outdoor Element's Woolly Mammoth Braid at Beaver Creek CG

    Forested campground 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park

    Beaver Creek Campground is the good spot for a Yellowstone National Park jumping off point. Located 30 minutes form the park the distance improves your chances of finding a campsite in the busy season. The campground sits above Quake Lake, if you enjoy fishing there is a steep trail leading to the lake from the“A” loop, however there is no boat launch at the campground, you will need to drive a½ mile down the highway to find a boat launch for the lake. The campground features paved roads with gravel parking pads, vault toilets, picnic tables and metal fire rings at each site, and their are bear proof food storage if you need it, but you might need to share space with another spot. Campsite can be reserved. The campground has 62 sites spreed apart in 3 loops. Two fully ADA sites are available. Drinking water is available at three locations in each loop. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful, they also have firewood for sale if needed for$6 A word of caution about the road driving in. The road is paved but narrow, so drive slow and watch out for cars.

    Ranger review Outdoor Element's Woolly Mammoth Survival Braid

    Got my wife the Woolly Mammoth Survival Braid and have to say that this is a nice survival bracelet. We did wonder if the Jute it is made with would be a little itchy when put on, but found it to be quiet comfortable. We like the idea to place the ferro rod and striker in in the bracelets buckle. It sparks up very nicely making our charred cloth and cotton balls with Vaseline easy to get started. We then tried to start a fire with the sample piece of jute, made a little nest and gave the striker a try and after a few attempts got a spark to take hold and had a fire. Nice to now that we now have a wrist full of fire starting material if we ever need it. Might just want to take this off when starting fires as it didn't take much to get the sample burning. All in all a great survival tool to have around.

    Yellowstone Park / West Gate KOA Holiday

    Close to West Yellowstone

    9/6/19 Conveniently located, 6 miles from west entrance of park. We had a pull thru site, 45,. Level gravel site. I didn't like that our electric and water are on site 44 grass area right next to their firepit. Our picnic area not level. Table very worn. They have a lot of different sites including ones with patio and porch swing, tent sites, cottage. Sites that back up to highway get a lot of road noise. Bathhouse attached to store was average quality, clean, good water pressure. The bathhouse attached to the indoor pool/spa smelled really moldy. Nice play area with mini golf. Small fenced dog area. Good size laundry facilities and store.

    Beaver Creek Campground

    30 Min. From Yellowstone

    After spending the day driving between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, we were anxious to arrive, set up camp and crack a beer. Unfortunately, our plans of an early arrival were delayed significantly due to animals near and or/on the road leaving on the park. Oh well - if you’re going to be stuck in slow traffic, Yellowstone is the place to do it!

    From West Yellowstone, the campground is about a half hour drive along the beautiful Hebgen Lake. The camp hosts were very kind and accommodating. They gave us a few tips about tenting in bear country, and advised us to look out for a few moose who inhabit the grounds. 

    Our site (C22) was surprisingly quiet and secluded despite being in the middle of the loop. While we didn’t have our own bear locker, there was one nearby which appeared to be communal. Our site was large, with lots of options for tent placement, and a nice picnic table. Don’t forget to pack bug/bear spray!

    Yellowstone Park / West Gate KOA Holiday

    TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT, DON'T STAY!!

    Reserved a cabin at KOA in West Yellowstone; it had been raining, the area in front of our cabin was a lake!!    Our fire pit and picnic table were completely underwater.   We went to office & they assured us they would send someone over to take a look.   They threw down some boards to walk on, but fire pit was still underwater & we would have to navigate those boards to go to the restroom in the middle of the night!    

    We went to the office again & asked if there was another cabin for us to move to; the manager said there was but it would be $100 upgrade!!   We asked if he would be negotiable as our cabin wasn't safe.   The manager kicked our family of 5 out, with the words.....good luck finding another place to stay in West Yellowstone this time of year!!    Luckily, we found, Hibernation Station in town - lovely place, fully furnished cabins with bathrooms.   Why anyone would stay at the crappy KOA cabins 7 miles out of town when you can stay at nicely furnish Hibernation Station cabins with bedding, private bathroom, fully equiped ktichen, walking distance to restaurants & wonderful management.    Shame on KOA for not ensuring better management.

    Yellowstone Dreamin Camp

    Glamping with a View

    We were in need of a place to stay while attending a field seminar in Yellowstone.  It is about a 30 min drive to Gardiner/Entrance to Yellowstone.  The owners have experience in the hospitality industry and it shows inside the tent.  We stayed in the Elk because we wanted a private bathroom. The room had 2 beds (super comfortable and well dressed), refrigerator, couch,  writing table and electric fireplace (more for ambiance vs really providing a lot of heat) and still very roomy. They provide a little lantern for night walks to bathroom or back to tent if you don't have your own flash light.   The deck off the front was ideal for sitting or practicing yoga.  You do have to walk to the bathroom/showers.  While we didn't have the opportunity to use the 2 community fire pits or horseshoes, butthey were well placed with a beautiful backdrop of mountains.  There is also a small building with a coffee/tea machine and another small refrigerator.  You can park right next to the tent.  

    If you want to take a walk, there are some dirt roads to walk by other surrounding farms.  

    The tents a pretty dispersed and seemed fairly private.  There was only one other couple on the premises so not sure when it is a full house.  They offer really nice kennels.  

    My only ding is they have a few kinks to work out, but I feel they will figure it out.  They will be offering speciality breakfasts in the future, but now they are just store bought muffins with yogurt and orange juice.  The location gets you off the highway, but you do need to navigate a gravel road for about a mile.  Totally drivable for any car. 

    I think if I stayed here again I would take one of their guiding trips.

    Beaver Creek Campground

    Quiet, Large, Beautiful Scenery

    About 25 minutes outside of West Yellowstone, MT, this campground is tucked away along the Madison River between Hebgen Lake and Earthquake Lake. This was a busy campground with nearly every site full (holiday week close to Yellowstone National Park). There was a nice trail from loop A that allowed us to access Earthquake Lake. We also hiked off trail on our own and could easily get to the Madison River and stay close to the campsite. Numerous bathrooms, bear proof trash bins, and bear storage lockers. Camp host was very friendly and sold firewood either at their site or would drive around the campground 6-7pm offering wood. Each site had a parking spot for 2 vehicles, fire ring, picnic table, and tent location. Only needed to travel 0.5-1 mile on a gravel road but could easily get back to town for groceries, etc. Gorgeous drive along the lakes and rivers to access campground. Earthquake Lake Visitor Center is only a few miles down the road and offers a nice history on the natural disaster that caused "Quake Lake" to form.
