The campground is lovely and shady with trees. Check-in staff are friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Bathrooms are clean and located throughout the different campground loops, so are trash and recycling receptacles. Our only issue was our site. We were assigned a site way too small for our 36ft A Class RV. It was an incredibly tight fit, but we made it work. The poor trees in the pull through were previously scraped, so we were not the first to struggle with their big RVs. There were other areas assigned to just tent camping that would have been better suited for bigger RVs. Luckily my hubby is a masterful RV driver and we did without our awnings and were able to have our slides out, but just barely. The laundromat and showers were within walking distance if you like to walk. We rode our bikes, many people drive. There are 12 shower stalls, bathrooms and sink areas. The laundromat had plenty of washers and dryers of different sizes. Both were clean areas staffed with friendly people. Lisa Decker stood out the most. Always smiling and happy to answer questions.

I stayed one night at Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone National Park (7/23/25). The campsite was set among tall pine trees, giving it a true camping feel and some extra privacy compared to many RV parks. The site itself was spacious and made it easy to level our 32-foot RV, which isn’t always the case in national park campgrounds. Staff at check-in were helpful and handled everything efficiently. The photos I’ve shared show the site as it was when we arrived—ample space for a large RV, a sturdy picnic table, and a standard fire ring surrounded by forest. While the campground is fairly close to Grant Village and Yellowstone Lake, it still felt quiet, especially in the evening. Grant Village was originally built in the 1980s as part of a park-wide initiative to improve visitor services, and it’s still one of the few areas in the park where you’ll find both modern amenities and access to the lake. I didn’t run into any issues during my stay and can’t think of any real downsides. Overall, this is a solid option for RV travelers who want a wooded setting and decent access to Yellowstone’s southern attractions.

This is the second time we stayed at Grant Village Campground, this time Loop C. We had a party of 4 and wished each person got a shower coupon, per day (vs. two per day for the site.) The campground has one shower facility and the lines do get long for the women. The sites are fairly big and you are in the trees for shade. There was a fire pit and wood for sale. Each site does not seem to have it's own bear locker, which are required to use. It is a great place for a base to start early morning or late evening adventures. In the area there is also grocery, gas and laundry. My pics are not of the campground itself but the amazing sites in Yellowstone.
