Camping:
Five of Yellowstone's campgrounds are operated by AmFac Parks & Resorts. Only these five campgrounds accept reservations. Please call (307) 344-7311 for more reservation information about camping at the following locations: Bridge Bay Campground - open from mid-May to mid-September - $14.50 Canyon Campground - open from early June to early September - $14.50 Grant Village Campground - open from mid-June to early October - $14.50 Madison Campground - open from early May to late October - $14.50 Fishing Bridge RV Park - open from mid-May to mid-September - $25.00Showers and laundries are available at Canyon, Grant Village, and Fishing Bridge RV Park. Fishing Bridge RV Park is the only campground offering water, sewer, and electrical hookups; it is for hard-sided vehicles only (no tents or tent trailers). Please note that Golden Access and Golden Age discounts do not apply at Fishing Bridge RV Park. Seven of Yellowstone's campgrounds are operated by the National Park Service and are on a first-come, first-served basis. During the height of the tourist season (late June through mid-August), these seven campgrounds are full by late morning so it is best to obtain a site early in the day. These NPS-operated campgrounds are located at: Mammoth - open year-round - $12.00 Norris - open from mid-May to late September - $12.00 Indian Creek - open from early June to mid-September - $10.00 Lewis Lake - open from early June to late October - $10.00 Pebble Creek - open from early June to the end of September - $10.00 Slough Creek - open from late May to late October - $10.00 Tower Fall - open from mid-May to the end of September - $10.00Following the fires of 1988, thousands of dead trees, known as snags, were left standing in Yellowstone. These snags may fall with very little warning, so please be cautious and alert for falling snags in campsites. Camping Rules:
Camping or overnight vehicle parking in pullouts, parking areas, picnic grounds, or any place other than a designated campground is not permitted. There are no overflow camping facilities. However, camping is often available in neighboring communities and forests outside the park. All camping is limited to 14 days between June 15 and Labor Day, and to 30 days the rest of the year. Check out time for all campgrounds is 10:00 am. Respect the rights of other campers and comply with park regulations by adhering to quiet hours, 8:00pm to 8:00am, which are strictly enforced. No generators, loud audio devices or other noise disturbances are allowed during this time. Generators are permitted only at Bridge Bay, Canyon, Grant Village, Madison, Mammoth, Norris Campgrounds, and Fishing Bridge RV Park, and only from 8:00am to 8:00pm. Since food and odors attract bears, items such as cooking stoves, utensils, coolers, trash bags, food, and toiletries may not be left outside or in tents or tent trailers, unless they are in immediate use! |
