Fishing Bridge RV Park

This RV park is located near Yellowstone Lake almost an hour drive from Old Faithful. There is a small store and gas station nearby which was really nice for us. We topped off the diesel tank as well as our propane. We were in the B loop and the sites are tight. Our 25’ Class C took most of the space. Folks pulling trailers had a bit of a challenge getting in and had to park beside their rigs. Other than hook-ups, the sites are pretty bare bones. No tables, campfires are not allowed and we couldn’t help tracking stuff into the RV. RVs must be “hard sided”. No canvas walls are allowed as bears are in the area. There are few restrooms available relative to the number of RV sites. Showers were located in the check-in building and you are issued a shower card with the maximum number of showers allowed shown on the card. We showered in our RV because it just wasn’t worth the long walk to the showers. If you want to go see the features such as the Grand Prismatic Spring you need to leave the campground early as the parking lots fill quickly and once they fill parking becomes nearly impossible. We arrived at that particular parking lots fill quickly at 8 am and by 9 there was a line forming to park.

Lovely campground indeed. We have a 27ft travel trailer and we were in the area with lots of trees. Spaces were small but feeling was cozy. Loved the feel for the area. Check-in was easy and the gentleman at the desk took the time to tell us all the great things to see in Yellowstone and help us plan our day trips. Most appreciated! Would have loved for the general store to have more basic food items. But store up the street was not far at all. Great stay!

We were lucky enough to make reservations for a two night stay on Labor Day weekend two days before the holiday! WOW! This RV Park is the only one in Yellowstone with full hookups. The spots are very tight but with our 20ft. van it was fine. We watched big rigs doing gymnastics trying to fit into spots. Other than that, the amenities are very nice. Showers, laundry, store, gas, visitor's center, amphitheater are all convenient, staffed and well taken care of. The walking paths take you to the beach for a stunning view of the lake. It is centrally located to many of the sites on the Lake side of the Park.

We were on the upper loop area. The RV spaces were long although a little close together. Because of the layout there is really no way to put the awning out to cover the picnic table at our spot. Our spot also didn't have a flat space to put out chairs to enjoy the outside. The layout of the upper loop area was nice for traffic flow. Overall the area felt comfortable. The absolute best part was actually being in the park. No stress to miss anything along the way & have time to travel back to a hotel. Received "shower pass at check in, which was nice to have access to. Showers were dorm/gym style. Adequate, well lit, but nothing special. The "family shower room area" was always occupied & had a long wait line so we were unable to take our kids in that area. Can't remark on those. The "general store" at Fishing Bridge is adorable. Has so many options for souvenirs, forgotten items or dinner at the little cafeteria style eatery. We would definitely stay here again. It was such an amazing experience to be able to stay in the park, wake up & lounge around the RV, then drive around the park to see the sights.

Yellowstone National Park is underrated. If I could, I would travel to the US every year just to come here. Anyway back to my review on this RV park. It was on the only one with full hookup for our truck camper and it was a great stop as our base for the 3 nights we stayed. Due the time we had, we could only 3 keys sections of the loop. We did West Thumb, Old Faithful in 1 day, then the following day was Lamar Valley, Tower Falls and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Will definitely want to stay here again due to its location and that Lamar Valley is definitely a must do every return I get if I am lucky. Due to the full hookup, it was find to do all the bathroom things in our truck camper. We did use their facilities once, the final night before leaving. Which was decent. Clean.Typical space where showers and toilets are separate. Theres a full laundrette where alot people were doing their laundry. Very professional standard of facilities in general. Check-in was nice, very friendly and helpful. We got a few souvenirs and bear spray since their last sighting I think at the time back in October was about 8 weeks ago. A 5 minute walk from the campground was a convenience and gift shop, we bought the caramal popcorn twice, they're overpriced but soooo addictive. We had bought a lot of supplies to eat so there was no need for us to get more fresh food. We also bought some more souvenirs there. Cannot wait to come back to the US just to be here. I could stay 2 weeks if I could.

Loved staying here! We stayed on E loop. We had a lot of wildlife wonder around us including a 6x6 bull Elk! Very clean. What stood out was the bath house! One of the cleanest I have ever been to. If not camping the fee is only $5.00 to shower. They even had soap for those who needed it and towels. People were so nice and plenty of washing machines and dryers.

We stayed in Loop E, which is the newest portion of the RV park. Loop E has long 90 foot concrete parking areas for all RV types and a picnic table on concrete. The areas between the sites are natural grasses. No trees in this newest section, but it didn’t bother us. Great connectivity with Starlink. They have a large coin operated laundry room and showers with host that oversees all of it, although we didn’t use the shower. We saw bison and deer in our camp. Yellowstone is huge, but we felt central to many of the places we visited. I highly recommend staying at Fishing Bridge RV Park!

We stayed in the newer E Loop and really enjoyed our stay here. As other reviews mention, the new section is very open and doesn't have as many trees or the same ambience as the older sections. That said, the level concrete pads, the full hookups, the picnic tables and the easy access into Yellowstone made this a great choice for us! Our site was a bit small/short for our motorhome and car, so we realized afterwards we should have asked them to move us to a larger site. They said the campground was full but we noticed a lot of small units on very large sites which was a bit odd. We also would have like to see showers in the E Loop versus having to walk to the main building. ||The campground was very clean with lots of garbage bins and a full recycling station at the main entrance which was great to see. ||The general store and restaurant/ice cream is easily accessible via a short path from the campground. ||The laundry facilities were great, there were tons of washers and dryers available. Our only disappointment was that they closed at 9pm, as sometimes we like to do laundry later at night when we get back from touring the park. ||Overall it was great to stay within the park and have easy access to tour around, and the official Yellowstone tours picked us up at the campground registration.

We stayed at the Fishing Bridge RV Park in late July-August 2022. We stayed in loop B, site 54, which was a back-in site with FHU. It was a gravel site with a tree separating each site. There were no picnic tables in loop B. There is barely any AT&T cell service and absolutely no WiFi. Check in was quick and the staff was very friendly and helpful. There was an entire grove of trees across from site 54 that are great for the kids to build forts and hang hammocks on. Be sure to set up your camp chairs, grab a good drink and watch all the novice rental RV'ers try to back in or run their generator while plugged into shore power. It is pure entertainment! Loop B is not the "new" section. That would be section D, which now looks like a large tree-less parking lot. The sites are flat concrete with picnic tables and no shrubs or trees separating any of the sites. There are very clean showers and a laundry attached to the registration office with a small store for some essential items and souvenirs. Fishing Bridge RV Park has some nice hikes from the park and around the area. The bear warnings are everywhere, because Fishing Bridge is where the fish spawn, which attracts bears. We would stay here again.

It's clean, friendly and nicely located in the park. It is not a place to hang out all day. Not meant for that. It is a great place to base camp while you explore the amazing park. The new section is nothing more than a cleared plot with concrete pull throughs. Full hook up and zero privacy. That's ok, you won't be spending much awake time there. It is dark and the sky is beautiful. The check in was very informative and cheerful. There are laundry facilities and supplies. The location to the rest of the park is the best part. Your RV will like it.

Best location in Yellowstone National Park. Buffalo and Elk roam through the RV Park great facilities. Would have earned five stars but got four because no posted speed limit signs and speeding vehicles in the park are a hazard!

Pros---Very nice staff and very knowledgeable. Clean and simple Showers and Bathrooms. Cons-- sites are very very small and so close together that you will hear neighbors conversations in their campers. Very poor maintenance on Loops A to D. If you have a full sized truck and a 28 foot trailer it is a very tight fit. No camp fires allowed with a ton of mosquitoes. Something to really know-- we would only stay here again if we were guaranteed a site on the E Loop. Almost all advertising pictures show these sites and they are the only ones really worth checking out. E Loop has concrete pads unlike the in maintained gravel pads of other loops and has plenty of space.

This place was great! We stayed from Tuesday to Friday. The water pressure into the RV was really strong. The electricity stayed on and good the whole time (it was hot out and our AC was performing nicely). We were able to get two sites next to each other so we could be besides our friends, both of us had dogs with us and there was no trouble with them. We stayed in the D Loop, it was easy to navigate. We had been warned there wasn't going to be room for two cars but it worked out just fine so we didn't have to park the second one in the parking lot. Upon check-in we were given a shower slip with a given number of showers and they marked them off as you used them. The showers were super clean and had no lines inside (tiny line to check-in at times but never inside the showers). We did laundry while we were there and it was smooth. The person working the cash register gave us baggies of quarters for our bills. We brought our own soap but they had laundry detergent for sale if you forget. All the staff at the RV park were very nice. Just down the road from the RV park is a small gas station with a limited food selection. It totally did the job when we took off early Friday morning and didn't want to clean up after cooking. Coming into the park, I absolutely misjudged how far I was going from the entrance to the park and I was grateful there was a gas station. The folks working there were nice too.

We stayed here this week with our kids and dog. We have a 30 foot trailer. The good, well you are in Yellowstone, such a gorgeous place so who can complain? Most of the staff was really helpful and friendly. It's quiet and peaceful. Was fairly easy to get to and pretty central to everything in the park. The not so good. Spots are tight! My husband is good at backing into spots but if you aren't confident in this skill make sure they put you into one of the pull thru sites on the upper loop. We were put in A loop and it was weird, lots of spaces open in her upper lot and in c lot but we were constantly packed right on top of each other in A. Absolutely no space between you and your neighbor. We discussed asking to move but since we were only using this as a place to pass out at the end of big Yellowstone hiking days we figured the pain of unhooking and rebooking the trailer wasn't worth it. The weird. Ok this is just a strange funny story. My young kids wanted one of those pricey stuffed animals sold at the park stores. We have a rule of one thing picked from the place we are visiting per trip. So they better make it worth it. My kids picked out a wolf and a bison from this rv park gift store. Both claiming to be made from recycled products. kids are happy and we go out to enjoy our day in Yellowstone. About halfway thru the day I'm looking at this stuff animal bison and I realize that not only Is his face completely sewn on crooked but his leg is almost completely ripped thru and the stuffing is coming out. There is no way it's from my daughter playing with it, it was obviously that way when my husband bought it. He says, "oh that's why that one didn't have a tag on it." Ok. We will just have to return it in the morning since we didn't get in till 1130 pm that night. Next day, brought it back to the gift shop and showed the guy who sold it to us. He says, "you bought this took it over night and are just now returning it?" Well yes sir, we are chronic buyers of stuffed toys who like to return them the next day after getting 25 dollars out of them. He haroomphs grabs another bison and tosses poor ripped bison in the trash and throws a new bison at my 5 year old daughter who he's obviously labeled and criminal. My older daughter who's seen Toy Story one too many times begs to go ask if we can have the og ripped bison back since it's just sitting in the trash. She can fix him. I figured since we are in a national park they'd prob rather have the bison with a nice family than littering up a landfill somewhere. Boy was I wrong. No! Go away. Was his gruff reply. I do believe the power of running a gift shop has gone to this man's head and the nicer and smilier I was only seemed to anger him more. I think maybe they need to move this man and his grumpy side kick to a less human contact part of the park. Possibly bear tagging. These guys were probably the grumpiest, meanest park employees I've ever come in contact with and we are giving them a wide berth. So in conclusion, pretty place, tight spots, be prepared to become good friends with your neighbors, avoid the gift shop.

The Fishing Bridge RV Park was just redone recently, so everything is nice and new. Unfortunately, this government owned RV park does not believe that successful people in this day and age need Wi-Fi!!!! Unbelievable..... If this RV Park had good Wi-Fi, I would rate it a 9.3!! But since there is no Wi-Fi, and T-Mobile does not work there, I give it a 7.0 To whoever is in charge, PUT IN Wi-Fi!!!!!!!!!

First I want to say...Brian, the campground manager, ROCKS! We arrived while it was snowing and everything was wet and muddy. He helped us to make our area a little easier to get in and out of because of all the water. They filled it in with gravel/dirt. Thank you! The spaces are a little tight. We have a 33' trailer and had difficulty navigating around the trees. They are closing a section down (F Loop) to make pull throughs. Not sure when they will be done as they have to cut down a large wooded area to do it. The dirt roads into the loops are rough and full of potholes but wide enough for large trailers/RVs. The showers are behind the Main Check-in counter and you are given a shower card (one shower/day/spot). The laundry facilities are there as well and there are about 12 washers and 18 dryers. Be prepared to pay for using them. I think it was $2.75/wash and $2 for dryer. The pros: it is very beautiful area and you are fairly close (driving) to many of the must see sites (Old Faithful, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mud Volcano, and Yellowstone Lake Hotel.

Great place to stay in RV! Campground is brand new and everything is spotless! Centrally located to all the attractions! We did some great hikes, fishing, sightseeing wildlife and geysers. The only park inside Yellowstone with full hook ups. We were here for a week and will make reservations to return next year! Convenient store and gas and propane close by. Highly recommend

The only reason to stay here is for full hookups. Otherwise it is an awful place to stay. The huge mosquitos that are there day & night will eat you alive. We were setting up camp about 1 pm and had no idea they were already out on a sunny day & we were bit all over. The sites are back to back hookups, and the sites have no pad of any kind, it is all just dirt and some scattered gravel. It is really hard to determine when you arrive where your RV and tow vehicle are supposed to be parked. The sites are smaller than they say when you reserve them. And many people are also bringing in really long, huge RVs that are over the legal limits there. It makes it stressful for everyone as they show up, sometimes in darkness and try to park these long monsters when they don't have enough room. I will never stay there again. The area around Fishing Bridge has road construction now. I heard the RV park will close in September for some improvements. The hookups at the RV park are new, but this concerns me as the entire thing needs to be reconfigured and regraded for proper size sites with actual definition of the site by some method. The large trees are also a problem, and in our site kept us from parking our tow vehicle that we were supposed to have room for, and the tree also rubbed on our RV. In closing, it was just stressful and a real mess. We could not enjoy the campsite at all, no room to sit out in chairs, and the mosquitos wouldn't allow this anyway. We stayed one night in West Yellowstone on the way at Grizzly RV Park which was very nice, but it also had mosquitos. They do spray however there I was told.

I can't give it 5 stars but I can't give it 1 Star. The fact of the matter is that this is not a resort. This is wilderness camping with basic amenities- water and electricity. No wi-fi, no cell service. You can't hang out and BBQ due to the abundance of bears. But if you want rustic and nature with no frills - this is the place. A bear tried to pry open Bear proof trashcan next to our RV. Hard campers only. No tents. No joke. You are given an instruction sheet upon check in on how to handle bear encounters. It was definitely a well appreciated wilderness experience.

Fishing Bridge was pretty good for what it was - just a place to park your RV. It had good hookups, good water pressure, and it was quiet at night. But it was hard to cook outside or do much else, since the lots were so small. Whereas other lots had an RV space, a vehicle space, and then some room for chairs and stuff, our lot was on the end and had trees in the way where we could have sat up chairs or done some grilling. Some of the negatives are that you're really far from other attractions in the park, if you walk up to the shower house you get all dusty from the vehicles driving around since there aren't sidewalks or anywhere to go when they kick up dust, and lack of space in some lots. Positives are amazing water pressure, good hookups, and it's really quiet at night with no parties like we had at our other campsite. Friendly workers, too! Huge issue, though, we stayed in F loop and the road was atrocious! I may have lost 20 pounds just jouncing up to the lot and another 20 jouncing out at the end of the week! They did say they're going to be working on the roads and lots later this summer, though, so that's good news!

We stayed here for a few nights while in the park and the location really can't be beat. The campground is situated right near the east entrance and very close to loop road so it makes for a perfect access point. The campground was easy to find as well which was a plus. The sites themselves are very small and lack any real area where you could set up and relax. Our only options were to either sit scrunched up against the camper next to us or sit behind the camper right next to the sewer connection. The number of showers you are allowed to take is limited (maybe you can buy more?) to 2 showers a day and the showers can be quite far from where you are camping. We had a small bathroom area near our camper which had only toilets but was convenient. I don't know if I would stay again for the price (~$60 a night) when I could stay at a KOA in the area for the same with more amenities.

Location, location, location! In addition to being in a great location they are the only full hook up RV park in Yellowstone. Hard side campers only. They have a nice coin laundry, a small store stocked with RV supplies and souvenirs, and a shower with a limit of one shower per night for two occupants. The staff were extremely nice and helpful, let me repeat, the staff were extremely nice and helpful. Truth be told, they went out of their way to help us. Of course the RV park was full when we were there,in mid May, but everyone was really nice. There is no Wi-Fi or cell phone service. Not sure if a cell phone booster will even work. It is a bit tight in there but the location makes up for it. Would be wise to make a reservation well in advance. Highly recommended.

This is the only place in the park for large campers with hook ups. This isn't a place like a Good Sams. It's not meant to be. In a place like Yellowstone you are lucky to get this campsite. There are bears and elk in the camp at night. Be aware of that. You can't leave anything out. It's a great place to camp and use as your center of operations! The park is amazing. The camp is just what's needed I this rustic environment. If you want fancy don't stay in the park. If you want a convenient place to camp in the park stay here. It was perfect for us and we even stayed an extra day! The staff was so good to me when I broke my foot and assisted me into the shower area. I couldn't have asked for nicer.

What a jacked up mess this entire area is !!!! Our National parks need to get it together. The availability anywhere does not meet the demand. This place is dirty dusty crammed and under construction!!!! I highly recommend that you go to the west entrance! This National Park needs way way way more Rv motorhome camp sites. It's ridiculous how far behind they are. No phone service anywhere . Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful place but but accommodating all the visitors is non existent!

This park will be closed for the 2019 season and no better thing could happen. This RV park is huge, crowded, bad roads, no personal space, few trees, no fire pit, no picnic tables, no room to put out your awning. You get two free showers and have to pay for the rest. Xterra runs this RV park and they milk it for money with no improvements for many years. Let's hope the 2019 season brings some of the major upgrades it needs. And it's very expensive!

I thought the campground was bad. Wait until you have a chance to meet the staff. I have never been treated like this before in my life. We booked the site 6 months in advance and got placed in a construction zone. When I told the staff what was going on around my site he told me that I was wrong. I asked him to follow me up to my site if he didn't believe me then he threatened to have the park ranger remove me from the park. Nice work guys...

Only place with hookups in Yellowstone so it's either take it or leave it and camp wo water or electric. The spaces were small, but we really didn't care! The mosquitoes were thick each evening, but once again we didn't care! We were just glad we got a spot here! Yellowstone was AMAZING!

This is another "No Star" Review, if one were possible. Fishing Bridge should be renamed MOSQUITO BRIDGE. Bugs were awful. Staff was unhelpful and unpleasant. Could not answer basic questions like "What time does the tour end?" or "Does that tour take you to the Geysers?" They didn't know and did not offer to find out. Prices were high for everything. Sites were tiny, but it turns out we didn't leave our RV because of all the bugs. I'm sorry, Yellowstone, but our 12-year old is NOT an adult and I *resent* paying adult prices for my kid. Nor will we lie about his age to get the kid prices he should be charged. We were told by Ranger as we entered the park we could have campfires at our sight. But the check-in staff at Fishing Bridge says absolutely not. The reason? (THEIR WORDS): Our kids (you know, same ones they charge adult prices for) might drop a marshmallow into the fire and a bear might come along and try to eat the marshmallow out of the fire. Really?!? No discounts for Military, Law Enforcement, AAA, nothing! We spent $160 on ridiculous "Wildlife Bus Tour" which was touted like Dr Doolittle would personally whisk us away to never before seen sights of every animal known to man. It was a huge bus from 1970, *hot* and stuffy. We saw Bison. Scary on the narrow winding roads and with NO view (last ones to load on the bus, even though we got there 90 mins early, and only seats left were the ones with NO WINDOW). We had to glom on the window of the neighbors in front of us or behind us. We spent $240 on Cowboy steak dinner round-up which was nice, but very dusty. Got back to camp at 9:37 pm all dirty and sweaty. Showers (supposed to be open until 10 pm) were already CLOSED "for cleaning". Begged front desk staff to please let out kids jump in quick and get the dust off, but they claimed "bathrooms were filled with chemicals" already. Complete horses$it. Furious at their laziness in trying to leave early. Above 2 free Showers/day (that is 2 showers total - for the whole family of 4) they cost was $4 each, but facilities were dirty and worn when we did use them. Unless they were closed early. Towel rental was $1.50. On our own, driving through the park for free (well, for the $30 entrance fee), we saw a black bear, a grizzly bear, hundreds of bison, elk and deer. Totally beautiful park. Will NEVER come back - ever.

Fishing Bridge is great as a base camp in Yellowstone. It is pretty centrally located within the park and is the only campground (within Yellowstone) to offer full hook ups, which is why we chose to stay there. A hard-side RV is required to stay at Fishing Bridge so no tent camping. As some other reviewers mentioned the sites aren't spacious but I didn't feel like we were parked on top of each other. Our main complaint would be the lack of picnic tables. Since Fishing Bridge is in an area of high grizzly activity they don't allow picnic tables or campfires. You can BBQ but need to pack up your grill as soon as it's cool enough to put it away. The laundry facility was not cheap and can get busy, especially in the evening. It would save money to bring your own detergent. All in all, I would definitely stay at Fishing Bridge again. I appreciated the full hookups and the location and didn't find the sites to be bad.

This place was mediocre at best. We stayed here in a travel trailer for four nights. The sites are right on top of each other. There are no amenities to speak of. Even the wi-fi is ridiculous ($5 for one hour)! If you have 4 people and want showers, you're only allowed two people per day, so you'll have to trade off days. It's also pricey to do laundry at $5 per load. The only plus is that it's centrally located in the park and has hookups, so you can use it as a nice home base. If you're looking for a good experience at the RV park, this is NOT the place to go. If you only need it as a base of operations, this will do.

We have been coming here every year for the last 15 years or so, my wife and I love it here. The spaces are actually decent size. Would be 5 star if it weren't for the roads around the grounds ( rough dirt roads). Other than the roads we have had good experiences with the staff and neighbors during our stays. The fishing bridge general store is very nice as well.

Typical RV park located in Beautiful Yellowstone. Very large RV Park with dirt roads. Staff friendly however check in could have gone smoother due to how busy the main office is. Not just an area for check in. Just an FYI no wifi and limited cell service. Prepare for off the grid.

My wife summed it up: If you don't like it, go. There are hundreds of RVers waiting to take your place. We made our reservations 9 months ago. One of the other Yelp RVers made a great comment: It's centrally located. To let you know how important that is, we've put over 700 miles on our vehicle in 4 days and we are in a prime location to go anywhere in the park. It minimizes wear and tear on you and your vehicle. It's also the only RV park within YNP offering full hookups. The staff is friendly and full of information. Frankly, I can't imagine the people saying to camp at RV sites outside the park; it's 26 miles to Fishing Bridge from the East Entrance. You've already started out 45 minutes behind ... and leaving? It can't be a lot of fun traversing the park's numerous narrow roads along cliffs in the dark, on your way back to the RV park outside YNP. The RV park's less desirable points? You are crammed in to your campsite. Can't get my satellite dish to work because of the heavily forested area surrounding the entire camp. No wifi (unless you bring a hotspot yourself). No cellphone service. Numerous potholes in the access roads to your campground. If you don't like any of it, leaving is your option. Did I mention it's 26 miles to Fishing Bridge from the East Entrance? I knew I did. Oh there's your other option ... dry camping in a location without amenities. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Great location if you have a large rig that won't fit the other locations. Had a 35ft trailer that just 'barely" fit. Roads in the campground have so many potholes, you can't find a level path to drive and might get a little damage like I did. No BBQ pit/pedestal or table provided. NO FIRES, even propane are allowed at any time.

AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Staff VERY VERY RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't stay there unless you like very small uneven spots with no picnic table and don't care about the pot holes in the road. Only place that has full hook ups around that area but totally not worth it at all!!!! The facilities were dirty and very outdated, they saw us coming and need to get into the real world. They expect to charge the outrageous price for everything there and still look like the 1960's. Horrible place to stay better off going down the road, no hook ups but they have tables and allow you to really camp including having a campfire. Don't waste your money at this place it should be condemned!

Check for length of RV's allowed. Just called and spoke to a ranger 40' not allowed. Check Grizzly RV park West side just outside of the park and Three Mile RV Park in East side of park. We had no issues booking at Grizzly first week of June 2016 Good luck campers!

Great location, but that's all that's great. Like the other reviews state, small RV sites, no picnic tables, no campfires, overall not a great stay. A couple of points: -NOT KID FRIENDLY. Our kids built a teepee and fort with fallen logs in the area between the campsites. The staff (very unfriendly I might add) showed up on their gator and tore it down while our kids watched (very upsetting to the kids). When I asked why they said the "rangers" requested it. What???? You have no playground, no pool, no volleyball or basketball court, no horseshoes, etc.... what do you expect the kids to do? They weren't being destructive, just playing like kids should. They (staff) then posted signs on the restroom doors stating not to let your kids build "structures" in the woods. Very unhappy about this part of our stay. -Showers and washers/dryers are not close to most of the RV sites -There were 2 toilets per approx. 50 RV sites, not enough -The restrooms were outdated and not very clean -The full "hook-up" for your black/gray water requires a complete connection meaning you have to have an elbow that screws into their PVC. If you don't have this you have to use the common dump area which got backed up (from a traffic perspective) quickly. Unfortunately you don't have a lot of options in Yellowstone for RV camping so you are somewhat stuck with Fishing Bridge. I'm just hoping that at some point the management will read some of the reviews and make some changes.

Well after reading tons of reviews from all sorts of travel websites I knew what I was getting. Yes the park is great, but the campground, not so much. We are in a motorhome towing a car, and specified this when we reserved. There was no room at all after we were parked. There are no tables outside so if you are planning to eat out, you know like your camping or something, bring your own table. In the middle of the day after we finished out hotdogs and hamburgers on the 16 " weber on the ground I grabbed a handful of sticks. No more than one handful. I put them on top of the burnt out brickets for smores and a guy in a golf cart pulled up and said noway. So I removed them and he made constant passes to make sure I wouldn't try and sneek a fire in an enclosed weber. Bottom line is its a good location and THAT'S IT. We have camped a lot and this is the worst campground. I am giving it one star since the review is for the campground not the park.

I would give it no stars if this was an option. I stayed here in 2004 and its sad to see how badly this place has deteriorated in condition. In 2004 it was $34 a night. This year, 2015, $55+ tax a night for full hook-up, ouch! No discount, not even for veterans or disabled vets, even though we have an access pass for national parks. 1. Camp sites are AWFUL!!! VERY SMALL!!! No picnic tables, no room for campfires (campfires are allowed in the dry campgrounds but not the Xanterra campground). You are basically packed in like sardines. NO CABLE TV. NO WIFI. The sites are NOT level, we never were able to level out our trailer because some of the pot holes in the site were too deep. Road was so bumpy in the campground our trailer tires were knocked out of alignment! 2. Xanterra staff workers are RUDE! When we checked in, asked questions about the campground, or to request service to the laundry they were rude to us, even refusing to provide assistance. The workers who are suppose to clean the empty camp sites, which they don't do as our site had garbage strewn about, would speed through the camp in ATVs well above the speed limit. I was afraid our son, who would cross the road to play in the wooded space across from our site, was going to be hit, as fast as they were going. 5 minutes before check out the worker in the ATVs began harassing us on when we were leaving. 3. Poorly maintained! Bathrooms were gross and look like they last updated the bathrooms back in the 1960's. 4. Facility for laundry and showers were poorly maintained and very expensive. Many of the machines were broken. We were here for 9 days. They were never fixed. We will not stay here again! I would highly recommend looking at other options of places to stay besides this place!

Fishing Bridge is not a bad RV park, but I had expected more. The good things are: - the location. Centrally located, it is easy to travel to the various sections of huge Yellowstone National Park. - full hook-up. It is the only RV park within YNP offering full hook-up. - friendly staff. Even though check-in was slow, I found the staff very helpful, giving lots of information and helpful tips. Also, being a family of five, they granted us more than the two free showers per night per site, making use of the free showers of people who had left without using them. - Fishing Bridge General Store is well-stocked and easily accessible via a short (and lighted) path. Now the negative points: - sites are very narrow and, other than the full hook-up, very basic: there are no picnic tables and no fire rings. - millions of mosquitos!! - restrooms would need a touch-up. - several washing machines at the laundromat were out of order, subsequently there were long lines when we came to wash our laundry in the evening (even more because the RV park had been without water during the day due to construction and only came back after 6 p.m.). Anyway, as you will not find a campground with more amenities inside YNP, I guess Fishing Bridge will have to do.

Yes, it is tight at Fishing Bridge RV Park. That is why I give it 3 stars. But when choosing a place to stay to see Yellowstone, you should decide what your main goals are. If you wish to see as much of the park as possible in the time you have, you should stay inside the park. Because of traffic, terrain, and the vast number of sites, it takes more time to travel 10 miles than what we are used to. Also, the speed limit for most areas of the park is 45 mph. So, it is difficult to stay in West Yellowstone or Cody (for examples) and see very much in a couple or three days without spending a lot of time driving to and from. Fishing Bridge RV Park is the only park inside that offers full utilities. If you don't need electricity, water, etc., then other campgrounds will give you a better camping experience while letting you still be in the park. One tip I can offer is that some sections of the campground were better than others. The sections are laid out in loops (A through G, I think). As you go farther back, higher loop sections, the roads were quite rough and the camping experience seemed worse, at least to me. We camped on the B loop, which had smooth paved roads and was fairly organized. We had a "small" area outside our RV to cook, sit, etc. also, there was an area to park our tow vehicle. You need reservations to get into this park and most others. You are taking a huge chance if you don't have them. If choosing Fishing Bridge, I suggest asking to be put in sections A, B, or C. I don't know if they will do it but it does not hurt to ask. Also, there is a good gift store with a few groceries, a service station, and an auto/ RV repair shop at Fishing Bridge. A camp neighbor had a problem with his tow vehicle and benefited greatly from the repair facility.

Cool place, I suggest reservations in the summer. There was snow and it was a little muddy but things went well, showers clean. Nice scenery and welcoming folks

It's not a bad RV park. Don't get me wrong, it's tight. You are really crammed in there. But the campground it's self is nice, I found the grounds and bathroom to be clean and the staff to be friendly. All sites are full service and the campground also has a dump station. There is no WIFI available of that is what you are looking for and no cell phone reception but the area is so beautiful you won't need it. I had a great time and would most definitely be back. Make sure you book early and ahead of time as the campground fills up months in advance even into September.

One of the best camping experiences ever. Totally impressed with the park staff and the service we received from checking in to exiting the park. Had a bison walk past our camper the first day which was to awesome. Had good camping neighbors and even though we were parked close together, everyone respected everyone's privacy. Had site D-130. Excellent site for a 35' travel trailer. Had no problems parking or hooking up to sewer, water or electric. Showers were clean and no lines. Totally respected the fact that campfires and picnic tables weren't allowed due to bears and other wild animals. Location of campground was awesome. Max travel time to anywhere in the park was at most an hours drive. Lots of private camping in West Yellowstone if you want all the amenities of a private campground. Just a long drive in everyday to see the sites. The Fishing Bridge store was beautifully done and a great shopping experience. Would camp at Fishing Bridge again with no problem.

I am back from a 7,000 miles trip and of the 25 campgrounds i stop at, this is the worse campground when it comes down to the presence of permanent pot holes.It is worse when it rains since you cannot evaluate the depth of the holes.Neeeds lawn care(grass was high could barely see the lot number) and lack of land care( logs on the ground in the RV sites serving no purposes). Very pricy at 47.75$/night. For the quality of campground offered.I felt like if they use the name Yellowstone as a profit center and forgt the quality the customers are expecting in return.

Broke down simply confused and feeling helpless. Offered support, made phone calls and helped us feel valued. Early in the Season, 2nd day open at Fishing Bridge.

First of all I will say I was apprehensive prior to arrival after reading other reviews.. On arrival which was 930pm after a more than 1700 mile trip the staff was very kind and helpful. We were on G loop the road was unpacked and bumpy but that just made people slow down in my opinion. Other than the trees across the road making it hard to wiggle our 30ft camper into the site it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Yes the sites are small and close together but we didn't come there to stay at the campground the whole time so it was fine. Showers and bathrooms were very clean and the full hookups were great we had no issues its those at all. Yes the mosquitos were bad but bug spray and they were gone. I think if we ever get the chance to come back to Yellowstone we would consider staying here again!

Great central location in the park! You are camping right on top of your neighbor and its VERY tight. A little tricky with a big rig but we made it work. Loved be close to all the amenities. bug were bad but we'd come back!

My husband and I reserved this "only" RV with hookups spot in Fishing Bridge inside Yellowstone back on January 6, yet when we arrived on July 31st, they gave us a spot way in the back of Loop G! And just like the reviews says, it IS one of the worst loops! Yes they are a bit close but they are double wide, which was great so we can put our vehicle there, but the road it is as bad as other reviews says, full of pot holes and uneven, for the amount we paid per night and being that park is always full, you would think they fix it! But nope. Even the entrance had huge holes in it, and I guess too many complaint that finally by the 3rd day they patch it. Bad work doing so but at least they did. The lady did not explained why we got such bad spot but said "they will be fixing the roads on loop G next year." A little too late because we won't be back. The good side is that they are in a very nice place, center of the park and next to the beautiful Yellowstone lake. Other than that, is not worth going just to have hook ups, we will rather do dry camp next time.
