Fishing Bridge RV Park
FISHING BRIDGE RV PARK
Fishing Bridge will be closed during summer of 2019 for renovations
The Fishing Bridge Recreational Vehicle Park is located near the mouth of the Yellowstone River as it leaves Yellowstone Lake. The RV park is named after the Fishing Bridge, a wooden vehicle bridge that used to provide a great platform from which park visitors would fish for native Cutthroat trout. Today, fishing is not allowed from the bridge, although visitors still congregate on the walkways to watch White Pelicans and other waterfowl gliding along the river’s surface, and trout swimming under the crystal clear water.

Upcoming Facilities Improvements
In our efforts to continually improve and care for the facilities we’re privileged to operate, there will be several projects in progress during the 2019 summer season.
In early September of 2018, we began a major facilities upgrade project what will result in the closure of the area through the 2019 season. The improvements will result in redesigned sites, comfort stations and Camper Services building.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
Specifics About the Fishing Bridge RV Park
The Fishing Bridge RV Park provides approximately 340 sites designated for hard sided recreational vehicles only. This is because the RV park is located in bear habitat. Also because of its location, we ask that RV campers be especially diligent in their compliance with park food storage regulations. Sites are double-wide with a limited space for slide outs. Recreational vehicles up to 40 feet in length can be accommodated. All sites are open with back-in access. A pine forest surrounds the RV Park. Additional facilities and services include:
- Full hookups for electricity, water and sewer (50 amp, 20 amp, or 30 amp)
- Per NPS regulations, generators may not exceed 60 decibels.
- Coin laundry and pay showers in the nearby Camper Services facility
- Rates for this campground include 2 showers per night.
- An RV dump station is also available near the entrance. The dump station may not be available early and late season due to freezing temperatures.
- Charcoal or propane grills are allowed, but no open flames (including portable fire pits).
When calling to make a reservation be prepared to give the combined length of your RV and any other vehicles or towed vehicles. (e.g. the length of your truck in addition to the length of your trailer when fully open.)
- Fishing Bridge RV sites will accommodate a towing unit and a towed unit side-by-side. For example, a 35-foot site would accommodate an 18-foot truck and a 35-foot trailer (unhooked) side-by-side in the site. Adjust for slide outs.
- Rates are per night and do not include taxes and utility fee.
- Rates include two showers per night. Rates do not include taxes and utility fee. Rates and dates are subject to change. Interagency Access Access and Senior Pass discounts are not available at Fishing Bridge RV Park.
Please keep in mind that most campsites in Yellowstone will not accommodate oversize units. If you arrive at the Campground/RV Park with equipment different than that for which you have reserved, we will not be able to accommodate you.
