Camping at Yellowstone

Pitch a tent or park an RV on your next getaway to Yellowstone National Park. What better way to get in touch with the natural beauty of Yellowstone than to camp out surrounded by exceptional wildlife, inspiring mountain ranges and sprawling meadows. See here for information on showers & laundry facilities.

Access and Senior Pass information can be found below.

Reservations

When calling to make a reservation be prepared to give the dimensions of your tent (in feet) and/or dimensions 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.)

Due to the popularity of our campgrounds, we strive to ensure the sites are used for guest camping. Therefore, we prohibit reserving extra campsites to be used for parking only.

Campsites are assigned at check-in. We are not able to provide specific campsite numbers in advance of arrival.
Campground rates are per night, for up to six people or one family (parents with dependent children) and do not include taxes and utility fee.
Campground sites that will accommodate a maximum combined length of 40-feet or more are limited.
The delivery or pick-up of out-of-park RVs or other camper unit rentals is prohibited.
Car/vehicle camping is prohibited in tent-only sites.

Most campsites in Yellowstone will not accommodate oversize units. Please note: 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. Also, please note that all rates are subject to change without notice.

Late Arrivals: For guests who may arrive outside of our usual business hours, your reserved site information will be available via a posted envelope on the Registration Building window. The next morning, please stop by the Registration Building again to complete the check-in process.

Pets at Campgrounds

Things to remember with pets at campsites:

They must be physically restrained at all times with either a leash/tie out or in a crate
When the pet is outside the guest needs to be outside with them
When the pet is outside they can have food and water outside for the pet but when the pet goes inside or away the food and water must be taken care of
Guest must clean up after their pets
Pets may be left at the site in a motorhome/5th-wheel/travel trailer as long as the pet is quiet; pets may not be left at the site in a tent
