The John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway includes Union Falls 9U5, a National Park Service dispersed camping area that requires hiking to reach. This backcountry site sits within Yellowstone National Park boundaries, offering tent camping for those willing to carry their gear on foot.
Access involves a trail approach rather than vehicle camping, making this spot suitable for backpackers comfortable with wilderness camping regulations. The 9U1 Yellowstone National Park Backcountry site operates under similar hike-in requirements three miles southwest. Campers should prepare for National Park Service backcountry permits and Leave No Trace principles before planning overnight stays.
