Wapiti Campground

Affordable Camping Close to Yellowstone

I stayed here with my family in June. We used tents and did not use electric hookups. We really enjoyed our stay and were impressed with the layout of the campsites. We made a day-off reservation and the instructions for purchasing and displaying the camping permit were simple. This is a popular campground and I recommend arriving earlier in the day during the open season to ensure a spot. Some of the campsites are relatively hidden by trees and bushes which gives a primitive and dispersed camping vibe. The campground hosts were also friendly and helpful. There are some offroad rugged trails near the campground that you can access without traveling on the main road. When the tide of the Shoshone River is high, parts of the trail are obstructed. The current is strong and is dangerous to pass. The mountain views from the trail are gorgeous!
