About Yellowstone District

Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful retreat into nature, this campground provides convenient access to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country.

The area surrounding Yellowstone District is characterized by dramatic natural features and abundant outdoor recreation. Campers enjoy proximity to geysers, hot springs, and colorful thermal pools that attract visitors from around the world. The region is renowned for its exceptional wildlife viewing, where visitors frequently encounter bison, elk, grizzly bears, and numerous bird species in their natural habitat.

It's a spartan strip of gravel on the river. The prices were a bit steep for what is offered. I was headed south through the park so this was one of the few options.$133.00 per night for a back in. The staff is nice. I realize it's a tourist economy but when I go that way again I'll stay in one of the other parks down valley. Paradise Valley is worth the trip. Gardiner did nothing for me at all.

Great location to Yellowstone National Park with easy access to the North Entrance. Campground is well maintained and has quarter operated washer and dryers which is so great after long days of hiking around Yellowstone!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We had a great experience tent camping at Yellowstone RV Park! The tent site was spacious and well-maintained, giving us plenty of room to relax. The bathrooms were clean and tidy, which is always a big plus. Our tent was near the river—it was a bit loud, but the sound made for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. Highly recommend this spot for a comfortable and scenic camping e... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We had a great experience tent camping at Yellowstone RV Park!

Pretty basic campground, great location right next to the entrance of Yellowstone park. The toilet & showers are very good, the laundry room is easy to use and they’ll change for coins up in the office if you need :) There’s also picnic table for each RV. **There’s no WiFi but there is cellular network reception.
