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.

Availability will go live on Recreation.gov on a 6-month rolling basis for RV sites, Tent sites, and Camper Cabins. Located in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, directly between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and just minutes from both, Headwaters Campground offers the perfect basecamp for exploration. Situated in a spectacular wooded setting with rolling hills and Teton mountain views, this campground is the perfect place to unwind and unplug, as there is limited cellular or internet service.

The Headwaters area is a prime location for wildlife watching and photography. Walk along the banks of Polecat Creek through wildflower meadows and conifer forests to capture that perfect photo of a beaver, moose, elk, bison, bear, or birds. (Be sure to maintain appropriate distance!) Although soaking is not permitted, Huckleberry Hot Springs is an easy 2.5-mile loop that starts at Polecat Creek. The Flagg Canyon trail is a good option for all ability levels. This 5.1-mile out and back hike winds through meadows and cliffs along the Snake River, and features a waterfall.

While youre there, book a scenic raft trip or park bus tour.

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.
Guide
Free dispersed camping location about 45 minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Open camping area to set up.
Ranger
Cabins off the Old Faithful Inn are the best option for exploring Yellowstone National Park for the week. Spacious rooms and in room bathrooms are a must!
Guide
site: large. private. wooded. stream bordering. amenities: clean. not busy. attractions: fishing. much more private than camping closer to Yellowstone National Park I would go camping here again when visiting Yellowstone.
Scout
Make reservations if possible. Fills up fast. GREAT fishing from shore or boat. There is one grassy area for tents and smaller rv’s and a new section that will accommodate all sizes. New restrooms with showers. Close to Yellowstone National Park.
Guide
On the river close to Yellowstone National Park! A bit pricey for this MT gal but worth checking out. I don't clime but those of you who do this spot is often used a a climing location by the locals. Great place.
Guide
Right outside Yellowstone and perfectly positioned between the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National
parks. I definitely will be coming back. Near the banks of snake river you have hiking trails near the resort. My only suggestion is buy before you go, everything is expensive. I dropped over $15 on smore making food. The resort offers educational activities for children and adults.
LegendCentrally located between Yellowstone national park in the grand Teton national Park this campground really has it all.
OK, there’s no Wi-Fi but there is laundry with a change machine, they have showers with warm water and toilets, A convenience store with groceries and a gift shop, gas station, and even a restaurant.
The sites are roomy enough not too close to your neighbor. Each site is full hook up and a pull through. ATT and Verizon service worked well.
Traveler
This campground sits right on Hebgen Lake. It's near the town of West Yellowstone. You can drive to Yellowstone National Park from here. There are atv trails right next to the campground. Owned by very friendly and helpful local people. You can rent boats, paddle boards, and kayaks. There's a swimming area at the lake. There are on site showers and bathrooms. There's water/power RV sites and full hookup sites. Also tent sites. Our family camps here a lot and we are never disappointed with our stay. Love the views.
LegendFirst off, amazing location and easy travel between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. We visited June 2020 (snowed our first day) and stayed at spot #521. It's the only location you can see the Tetons from your campsite! You can also take a trail down to the Snake River. We saw a fox run through our first day (see video)! Probably the most we've paid to tent camp but well worth it! The campground offers amenities such as laundry and a bathhouse with hot water! Everything was very clean too. There was a gas station/store on property and a restaurant. Water and propane filling stations. Firewood for sale. The campsite itself offered full hookups, picnic table, bear box and a firepit/grill. Would stay here again but wouldn't mind checking out Jenny Lake campground!
GuideAbout 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.
GuideAfter 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!
Legend
This campground in Yellowstone National Park has 85 first-come, first-served sites. It was a good base location for us for exploring Yellowstone although there are other campgrounds that will put you closer to geysers, hot springs, and all the beauty of Yellowstone. We had to do more driving but our first priority was getting a campsite; we didn't want to get deeper into the park and hit full csmpgrounds. Plan on an early start for exploring in the summer, because the parking lots can be full by mid-morning .
The appeal for us was that we could get here in 30 minutes from our campground in Grand Teton NP. We arrived around 8 am because we saw on the NPS website for Yellowstone that the campground had filled around 11:30 am the previous two days. You can see the "full" time for the previous day or two for all Yellowstone parks at this link:
https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm
This is a great feature; these campgrounds fill up daily during the summer.
Our early arrival time gave us a good choice of sites on a Wednesday. On Thursday, people were looking for sites before 7:30 am. The ranger was pulling tags off the sites that indicated a Thursday departure date, but remember that people can decide to pay and stay if they're already on the site. On Saturday, someone was cruising for a site as we were leaving before 7 am. They weren't going to have any problem finding a site because lots of sites are vacated on Saturday.
This campground has the standard amenities for a campground that has no hookups: vault toilets, water spigots for potable water and trash/recycling bins.
Walk in sites W1-W17 (with a specified parking spot for each site) are good tent sites, but so are many of the sites on loops A, B and C. There is also a hiker biker area in the walk in area.
Back in/pull in parking areas are fairly short; length limit is 25 feet. Some have parking areas alongside the road with no demarcation where one ends and the other starts, that is, two sites share a parking area alongside the road. If you have a vehicle and trailer/pop up, you're better off staying away from sites with shared parking. See photos for a trailer and truck sharing a parking area with another vehicle.
TravelerJust off “the 191”, Red Cliff is just outside of Big Sky and along both the highway and river. Nice sized sites, clean pit toilets, and reservable.
The electric sites are on the right when you pull in and are preferable no only for the hookup, but also because there’s a day use area between the road and sites, and that little bit of space makes a difference in deafening the road noise. We were on the non-electrical side and could hear it, but it wasn’t a huge deal.
Two site hosts take turns on duty and are really nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if coming through the area, but plan ahead to get an electric site.
One thing to note - there is A LOT of construction on the Wyoming side between Red Cliff and Yellowstone in summer of 2020 making this not a good base camp for Yellowstone this year. A typical 45 minute drive can take over 1.5 hours due to traffic being reduced to 1 lane with a stop light to allow one direction to progress at a time.
RangerWe stayed here during a two-week trip visiting several national parks in the West with our friends. Since we had limited time to spend at each of our destinations, we wanted to stay as close as possible to the parks, so this campground fit the bill for visiting both Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
We called ahead to be sure of check in procedures. We first drove to the visitor center and checked in. We were given maps and directions to our sites (our request for neighboring sites was honored). It was easy to locate Site 310, a pull through site with full hookups. The sites were level and mainly dirt (little to no gravel). The roads were the same, so everything stayed dusty for our three-night stay. There were some nice shade trees, and we were able to create a nice little shared yard space with our friends between the two trailers.
There was a great deal of foot and car traffic on the little road our site was on because of our proximity to the bathhouse. It was entertaining watching tent campers run to the bathroom in the mornings while we sipped our coffee outside. We didn’t spend much time hanging out here because we spent the majority of our time visiting the two national parks. Cell service was nonexistent unless we drove to Jackson Overlook. Being out of touch with our families was the worst part of staying here, so we made the ten-minute drive to this point to touch base and take care of emails/business back home. The gas station near the campground was convenient for fuel and ice, so we appreciated that especially after driving through the desolate areas of Wyoming.
Although the dusty roads were an annoyance, we decided that this was the best place to stay for anyone wanting to visit both national parks and have the luxury of full hookups. We would definitely stay here again for visiting Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Maybe by then, they’ll have some gravel.
Traveler
Not somewhere I'd typically go camping but nice place for others to enjoy.
Traveler
We couldn’t find a campsite in Yellowstone so had to exit the park late at night. The camp host was kind and understanding and was able to get us a last minute spot to stay. Showers are hot and good pressure. Bathrooms could use a little TLC but mostly clean. Spots are basic and there are security lights that are bright and stay on all night. Overall just what we needed and a good place to stay the night
GuideAs the title say, this is the only campground in West Yellowstone that accepts tents. There’s another 5km north of town that accepts tents, but this is the only one in town. Great facilities, super friendly and helpful staff. Pitching on gravel, so bring or borrow a mallet. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Not excessively expensive given the proximity to the Park boundary. No bear storage facilities. All round great campground
GuideThis was a good place to stop for the night. The RV spots were very close together. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Hookups were available with a gravel, level campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Provided maps of area with food recommendations and attractions near by. Pricing was expensive and availability was limited, call in advanced in you need a spot!
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.
TravelerThis 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.
GuideWe drove 14 hours to get here and they were closed before 9 pm Sept 14, 2020 very disappointing and dishonest if you ask me. Turned us away without somewhere to sleep AFTER DARK.
Scout$40-$45 for literal postage stamps of camp site. To make things worse, ATVs and trucks come in and out late into the night... headlights, engines, yelling... all right next to you.
Spent most of the sleepless night looking into the free, dispersed campsites I wish I had stayed at.
RangerHad a blast at Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. We stayed in tents at Madison Arm, they had a store, firewood, food, tables, fire rings,
ScoutBeautiful 360 Mountain View on a lake! Nice showers(free) and bathroom is clean.
GuideRight on the lake, full hookups and lots of amenities. Spent full days on the water - had to paddle board a bit to get to a nicer beach/swimming area but it made for a fun day.
