Eagle Creek Campground

 Eagle Creek is a USFS campground just about 5 miles outside of the eastern entrance of Yellowstone. It’s a first come first served campground, and we were easily able to get a spot on a Friday afternoon. It’s $15/night, self pay. 

It’s quiet and peaceful, and though the sites are close together, they are configured in a way that you feel like you have some privacy, at least we felt that in #9.

#9 also has a little walkway to the river with your own tiny private beach. There is road noise, but it’s not bothersome, maybe because of the dense trees and the sound of the river. The campground is split into two separate loops, with #1-10 to the right as you enter, and #11-21 to the left. On the left side loop there is also a paved walkway along the riverbed that might be suitable for wheelchairs. 

Host on site, unisex handicap accessible vault toilets, and dumpsters. Hand pumped water. Each site has a bear box, fire pit, and picnic table. 

No tent camping allowed here due to bear activity. Hard sided campers only. Keep your food and anything that smells like food inside!!

 16 day stay limit. There’s a day use area, appears to be free. There is hiking across the highway, appears to be frequently used for horses. No cell service.

It is located right off the highway and situated along side the Shoshone River. Amazing views of the surround mountains can give you a great sense of peace. Only hard sided units are allowed to camp in this park. This is a grizzly bear territory. No tents or popups allowed. Sites are set in a natural setting, gravel base and the sites are not mowed. There are two trailheads 1 1/2 mile east of the campground with corrals for public use. You will enjoy the shade and smells of the juniper, fir, pine, spruce, wild roses and wild flowers during appropriate times of the year.
