This park is in a great location! You are within walking distance to Gardiner, a quaint little town, as well as the north entrance to Yellowstone. The sites are gravel, but level, the facilities, bathrooms, laundry, dog park and grounds are spotless. The view from this campground is incredible and there are elk that wander through daily, which is really cool. The staff are top notch! A big thank you to Gail, Bob and Tony who were so helpful and checked in through the week to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We booked a site for next year and are looking forward to coming back!

We absolutely loved this campground! We stayed for four nights during our Yellowstone trip, and everything was excellent. The facilities are modern and spotless, the sites are spacious, and the location couldn’t be better—just five minutes from the park’s North Entrance.What really stood out to us, though, was the incredible hospitality of the staff. When we arrived, we had car trouble and needed to take it to a shop. Because of that, we required a late checkout, and they graciously allowed it without any extra charge. They even offered to drive us all the way to Livingston—an hour away—to pick up a rental car. Their kindness and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel like we were staying with family.We’re so glad we chose this place and had the chance to meet such wonderful people. We would absolutely recommend this campground to anyone visiting Yellowstone!

Wonderful place to stay with our RV! Convenient to the Park, Super friendly staff, and there were lots of elk in the campground. Beware of walking small dogs in the early morning dark because we spotted a coyote between trailers. Shout out to Bob who spent time with us planning out our 3 days and giving us excellent information.
