We stayed at the Fishing Bridge RV park (Loop A) in early October through to their last day of operation and were very impressed! There is a main building with extensive laundry facilities, a very modern and sparkling clean bathroom/shower room, a small gift shop and information about the park. Everyone on the staff was super friendly and so helpful. The campground itself was well maintained, our site was level, and all the hookups worked well. The sites are very tight but when in Yellowstone there's no need to hang out in the campground anyway - there's way too much to see and do in the park! Fishing Bridge is a convenient location for a lot of the key sites in Yellowstone and the larger general store and gas station were close by and had all we needed. Loved the extensive recycling bins everywhere (including for the small green propane canisters - nearly impossible to find recycling for those things anywhere else). We would definitely stay here again!

You can't beat Fishing Bridge for location inside Yellowstone National Park; centrally located to so much! You're going to drive no matter where you're going, but we found our gas mileage was phenomenal with the 45mph speeds! Fishing Bridge feels like a bustling little village with the General Store, gas station, and campground. The visitors center across the road gives some great education on the area and is situated on a beautiful beach where we saw bison footprints and waterfowl. As for Fishing Bridge facilities, it's the only place inside of Yellowstone that takes larger RVs. The older campsites are fitted tightly but efficiently, which led to some fun interactions with our neighbors. Of course there is still enough space to feel like you can stay to yourself. We found our site very level on the gravel pad. There was some shade. In the newer section, the E loop, the campsites are big and there are level cement pads where even the picnic table is on cement. But there is little to no shade. The laundry facilities are top notch and more affordable than in Cody where we did our first load. They have recycling bins all over the place for plastics, metal, glass and cardboard. Overall, a great place to stay!

This was our 3rd trip to Fishing Bridge RV Park. We love the central location within the park. Camping within the park saves us so much time commuting. The drive in & out of the park is beautiful, but I'd rather spend my time doing hikes, looking at geysers, kayaking on the lake, etc. The RV sites are well-maintained & make camping easy with full hook ups. We prefer showering in our trailer so we didn't use the bathroom facilities. It's nice to be able to dump right at our campsite. We also appreciate power so that we can keep the RV cool for our little dog who can't join us on day excursions. My only complaint is pricing. Last time we visited it was 1/2 of what we paid this year. But we understand the price increases. It isn't cheap to maintain an RV facility in a remote location.
