Overview

About This Campground

Here's the plan: Eagle Creek Campground sits near Yellowstone’s North Entrance with 20 sites spread across mostly rustic, gravel-paved lots. There are no hookups or showers, but bear boxes and vault toilets keep things simple and safe. Bring water if you’re unsure about availability and plan to pack out what you pack in; the roads are rough and space is tight for big rigs.

The Setup

Internal roads are gravel and can be steep with tight turns; plan for a 20-ft trailer or higher clearance; back-in spots preferred where possible; group site can accommodate large gatherings near the river trail

The Vibe

This is a rugged, forested campground used as a practical basecamp near the park entrance. No hookups, bear country, and basic facilities; it’s functional, not luxurious

Bath & Laundry

Showers are not available; laundry not on-site; plan to use Gardiner facilities or town services
