Meh

Big campground and lots of noise, but lots of amenities. Probably good for families who want an easy trip, but not great for those wanting to escape the Yellowstone crowds.

In the woods

Make reservations several months in advance because this campground is close to old faithful . The checkin desk can get very busy

Enjoyable Yellowstone National Park campground

We stayed in a travel trailer at Grant Village campground for 10 days. This is a dry site (no hook-ups). Because we selected a site next to the comfort station, grey water and sewage storage was not a problem. There was a shower site we had to drive to right down the street; we were given a "pass" for one shower for each adult each day. A little annoying but doable (the water was hot and unlimited). The site was a little tight with our 34 ft rig but it worked without damage to the local foliage. A little on site selection: when you reserve for the campground, you don't select a site. We arrived at 1 pm and selected our site then. The rush for sites was typically around 6-7:30 pm, so I recommend arriving early. Our site was frequented by elk and deer. The lake was a very short walk down the hill. The Village had a grocery, cafe, restaurant, post office, visitor center, and souvenir shop. Would highly recommend.

Can't beat Yellowstone!

This was a great spot to camp, but a little unnerving being in a small tent in bear country. Middle of the summer and it was still down right chilly at night. I'm not sure I've ever been so cold while camping. This campground has restrooms within the loop as well as a large facility for showering and laundry at the entrance to which you likely want to drive. Everything was clean and well maintained. Be sure to practice good bear safety with food. Bear cans were provided for food storage. No food in the tents. No food smelling clothes in the tent. We were right next to the bathroom which was convenient and the campsite was quite large for our two person tent and canopy over the picnic table.

Perfect!

This is a decent campsite, a little KOA like with how many sites there are but overall nice. They have great showers along with a nice bathroom. There is amenities around that you can use like a store, gas station, etc.

Grant Village Campground

Great campground! I had plenty of room for a 3 person and 4 person tent with room to spare. There was a great fire pit and picnic table and the bathrooms were close by as well as a dish washing station and water spickets. The map was easy to follow and the site was easy to find. There are a lot of campsites but I felt we had enough privacy even with campers on on 2 sides of us. There was parking for 2 cars at our site. Also showers were available. After spending the day on the west side of the loop this was a great spot to end out day!

Very large campground

This was the second Yellowstone campground we stayed at. It was very large. The workers at the registration building were friendly and helpful. This campground is on Yellowstone lake. There were clean restrooms that were heated. Also an area within the restroom building to wash dishes. Also laundry facilities and showers were available in another building a short distance from the campground. A gas station, visitor center, restaurant, and store within a short drive. Unfortunately it started to rain in the evening and rained all night long, which dampened things a bit. Fires were allowed. Our site was very nice and woodsy.

Great campsite!!

We stayed in the Grant Village campground August 31st & Sept. 1st and it was very nice, our site had trees for us to hang our hammock and had a small path at the back that got visited by a calf (young moose), 3 female elk, and a black tailed deer😊. We were in the J loop, site 346. There are bathrooms with a sink and mirror and a place in the same building to clean your dishes. The fire pits do have a grate you can flip over the fire and cook on! There is a general store with a little bit of groceries and there are showers in a separate part of the grounds 😊. Would absolutely stay there again!!!

Big, but calm and scenic!

I was expecting GV to be crowded like the rest if ys, but it was really spacious and serene. lots of trees for shade and privacy. Our site felt huge and just a short walk to the lake. (loop f). we liked the cg so much that we even took a day and stayed there to rest from the crowds and driving!

GV is on the south side of the loop, so not exactly central, lots of driving. it’d work well to stay here if you also stay further north. but we didn’t want to move sites and this one was reservable.

staff was very nice. we arrived early so they were willing to move us if we didn’t like our site (which we didn’t need to). laundromat and shower hours were shorter than publicized, so that was frustrating but the facilities were nice.

also, GV and Fishing Bridge have auto/RV service depts. I had a bad propane regulator so it was great to find something in the park, if even for a few bucks more than usual.

right next to the campground is west thumb, which isn’t as popular as grand prismatic and old faithful, but we loved being able to see the smaller springs up close. def worth a stop.

Perfect honeymoon in nature

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon this past June. I had never been to Yellowstone but was very pleased with this campground. It was in great proximity to a beautiful lake and was very quiet. We did have to drive to a lot of the sites we wanted to see but that didn't bother us too much. We also got 1 shower each per person each day which was an added plus! Lots of wildlife nearby, we heard coyotes multiple nights as well as elk but luckily nothing came stomping through our campground.

Peaceful, and centrally serene.

This campground is right on Yellowstone Lake with some spots having a great view and others are easy to walk down to the lake. I love staying here when in Yellowstone because I always love staying near the water. It’s super peaceful to walk to the lake in the morning or sunset and just sit and relax. There are showers, laundry services and a great store near the campground. The ranger programs at night are always great and there is a great trail that runs along the lake that will take you there.

Spacious campground

Gorgeous, pristine campsite. Only complaint is that there isn’t a ton of privacy. Trees were bare in July so you could see all your neighbors and what they were up to. Generators also seemed much louder than at other campgrounds we’ve been to. It was beautiful and clean and had great facilities though!

Yellowstone's Southern Campground

When driving out West for a family camping summer trip, we decided to spend a couple of days at Yellowstone. We saw Bison (not Buffalo per my daughter), elk, deer, wolves, and tons of smaller animals. This was my second trip to the park (I'm out near DC) and, while you can't go wrong with Yellowstone's wide variance in sites and things to do, this review will be on the Grant Campground as I'm sure there are other resources for the entire park.

The first time I visited Yellowstone, we stayed at a KOA near the West Gate. While I remember that trip fondly, I found that KOA appeals to a different type of traveler. One that is okay with being "closer" to nature without losing any of the frills of a home. The real bugger about it was that we had to wait about 45 minutes for the line getting into the park. I knew I wanted to be inside from that point on and the location of Grant really sells itself here. Essentially, the park is free to roam around if you stay within its boundaries before the gates open to the public.

By staying on the southern side of the park, you get to explore the area around Yellowstone Lake, specifically the West Thumb. There are active geysers which smell of sulfur, but nothing I noticed near the campground.

The campground itself was VERY busy compared to every other place we stayed. Hey, it's Yellowstone and that was to be expected. Just give yourself plenty of time to settle in. We were in line for over an hour getting checked-in. I'm not sure how normal that was, but it was the middle of August.

The generators and the RVs with their TVs, radios, etc. were TOO LOUD for our taste. I felt like our tent was on top of the next site, but that could be because every other National Park I've stayed at has had at least 30' between my tent and someone else's. The close confines, though, helped us out in the end as there were a few wolves that came through the campground at night. Still, I prefer to "get away" from those things when I camp. Just me, I suppose.

The summer was still chilly enough for us to need long john's and a knit cap. The facilities were awesome throughout the park and Grant was no different. There were over 20 showers available, but they were tiny. Think the size of a regular bathroom stall sans the toilet. Food, supplies, and wood were all easy to get to, but pricier than other places. You HAVE to try the Bison Burgers if you are a meat eater.

The layout of Yellowstone let's you drive in a figure eight and you should probably give yourself a couple of days minimum to see the sites. I loved that the southern gate is less busy than the others. I believe that is because driving south essentially takes you to another awesome park, Grand Teton National Park. There really is a cool feeling you get being close to water when the day winds down.

I would say that you may want to consider Lewis Lake campground if you are comfortable staying even further south. It's a bit less busy, but Lewis Lake was probably the prettiest body of water I saw the whole time in Yellowstone. Still, Grant did a great job for our time there.

J Loop

We stayed here two nights. Although the campground is enormous, the individual sites are pretty well-spaced out. We were in a tent-only loop (Loop J) which was nice because we didn’t hear any RV noises. The campground has showers and laundry facilities, too. I would camp here again, though I preferred Canyon Campground within the park.

Grant: hello neighbor

Grant was the third campground we stayed in at Yellowstone. The sites are pretty darn flat. ✅ We were able to walk down to Lake Yellowstone right from the campground to some quiet little beaches. Total plus! The camp sites themselves are right on top of each other. Very family living. We don’t hang at camp for very long, so it wasn’t too bad. The camp host on duty was a pretty cranky dude. Maybe he was having a bad week. ✌🏻 The showers were the busiest I have ever seen. They had a graph chart showing the busiest times. That tells you something. They had a laundry area which we took advantage of. The showers and laundry felt kinda far away from the campground. There is an RV dump station as well as water. The Lakehouse restaurant is right on the water which was really nice for our last night in he park.

Beautiful campsite. Lacking bear boxes

The campsite was very roomy. Unfortunately you cannot pick a campsite you won't know what campsite you will be on until your arrive. The website for reserving does not explain why you cannot reserve a certain site, but when we arrived I asked them and was told that due to bear activity they often close loops. This would have been good information to have initially so I wouldn't stress so much. I am used to looking at what is available and picking the best out of the choices.

Also, I have camped in Yosemite several times and there is a bear box on each campsite. Yellowstone has 1 box that is shared between 2 -3 sites. Some boxes are very small and will not accommodate a cooler. So, you may ask what do you do with food/coolers that won't fit. You put them in your car. This idea was so foreign to me as we have always been told never keep anything with an odor in your car/truck when camping with bears.

After overcoming all the logistical obstacles we thoroughly enjoy our stay. With each night you have 2 showers per site which is very nice. The showers were wonderful and no time limit.

All in all the 5 nights were amazing. Even in the rain. There are mosquitoes even when the evening temperature dips into the 30's.
