YELLOWSTONE CAMPING GUIDE
Camping in Yellowstone National ParkVisiting the Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful way to spend your vacation, but if it is your first visit it is important to do your homework. If you are planning a camping trip to Yellowstone, don't just make the drive to the park and expect to find a camping spot, chances are they will be all filled up. Your best bet is to make reservations, sometimes months in advance. This is especially true if you would like a room at one of the lodges or a cabin. There are 12 campgrounds in Yellowstone National Park. Seven of these campgrounds are operated by the National Park Service at Indian Creek, Lewis Lake, Mammoth, Norris, Pebble Creek, Slough Creek, and Tower Fall. Sites at these campgrounds are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but these sites often fill up fast during peak season.
Xanterra Parks and Resorts operate campgrounds at Bridge Bay, Canyon, Grant Village, Madison, and Fishing Bridge RV Park. Same-day reservations can be made by calling (307) 344-7311 or by checking at an Xanterra operated campground registration desk. Future reservations can be made by calling (307)-344-7311. Fishing Bridge RV Park is the only campground offering water, sewer, and electrical hookups. It is advisable to make your reservations for these sites as early as possible. Camping or overnight vehicle parking in pullouts, parking areas, picnic grounds, or any place other than a designated campground is not permitted, and there are no overflow camping facilities. However, camping is often available in neighboring communities and forests outside the park. Camping is limited to 14 days between June 15 and September 15, and to 30 days the rest of the year; there is no limit at Fishing Bridge RV Park. Check out time for all campgrounds is 10:00 AM.
