Yellowstone RV Park

We stayed in the Suites which had two bedrooms. These were extremely comfortable and clean and well furnished. Upon arrival, the manager showed us to our room and was very friendly and helpful. The suites are directly opposite the hot Springs, which we only accessed once as we were busy exploring the NP. This accommodation is only a short drive (10 mins) away from the North Entrance in Gardiner. There is also a cafe where you can purchase hot drinks and snacks on site. Although we did use this a couple of times, we bought our own food and cooked whilst in the suites. I would most definitely return to this wonderful place. Thank you for everything.

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.

clean campground with nice restrooms and showers. We had a back in up to river site but did not realize you could not access the river, which would of been really nice if we could have. The sites are narrow and nothing really for kids to do such as a playground. They could use a tree on each site which would be nice but overall great location right next to the entrance of Yellowstone.

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!

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.

Great location for Yellowstone, no hassle getting in and out of our site. We checked in late and left early. It was a great jumping off point for us. Hookups were great, sites were good size and we enjoy our stay!!

Got a nice spot overlooking the river. One of my daughters had an issue being close to the drop off so staff helped us out by letting us move to another spot. Friendly staff, clean/ quiet park to stay at

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. 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 experience!

I like the fact it is a small park but near the river. I can see elks walking around. Clean bathroom and there are washers and dryers $1.50 for each use. Location is super close to yellowstone NP. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. During off season, some are closed so plan it well. Only 1 market in the area.

This was a very clean RV park with full amenities close to the north entrance of Yellowstone. The little town Gardiner nearby has some (overpriced) food and supply options but has everything you may need. The campground is perched over the Yellowstone River but there is no river access. There was some shade at the back of the site and it was fun to watch the rafters go down the river.

Small RV park with gorgeous views. Stayed here a week. Clean showers and laundry room was pretty convenient to have on site. Quick drive to Yellowstone NP and Gardiner.

Everything started off great--check-in was friendly, the views were nice, and it's close to the park. But then, things went downhill fast. After a long day, we got back, showered, and started setting up camp around 8:30 PM. By 9:40, some camp host comes down, claiming we're too loud and that he's had multiple complaints. Seriously? Quiet hours don't even start until 10 PM! No one was even talking; our car was just running to charge some items, and that's it. The only thing I could hear was the river--not even the car. The whole place felt like a rest home. No campfires allowed, and the bathrooms weren't the cleanest and were pretty small. We're not the rowdy type--we wake up at 4 AM to head back to the park, so all we wanted was to get some sleep. This was ridiculous.

We stayed here for 6 amazing days. Nestled right in front of the Yellowstone River where the sound lulled us to sleep every night! The staff here....INCREDIBLE! The facilities...almost IMMACULATE! This was, by far, one of the nicest places we've ever stayed! Thank you to the great people who run Yellowstone RV Park...you are all top notch! Angie and Dean

My first time back in 12 years! Still a beautiful view and friendly staff. We lived here for the summer of 2010 when we were employees in YNP. They have a bath house at each end of the park with toilets and showers which is very convenient. There is a coin laundry room at one end which is also handy if you live here or you're passing through. When we stayed here in 2023 we had been on the road for several days so it was perfect to do a few loads of laundry while we were camping before hitting the road for another week. You'll see elk on pass through all hours of the day and night which is fun. Keep you distance because they're wild, as you know! We did see a black bear here in 2010 so be aware of your surroundings. The park runs along the Yellowstone River. You could get a site right on the river, a pull through in the middle row or even car/tent camping site with trees and grass at the very end. The staff has always been friendly and helpful of things to do in the area, bathrooms and showers are clean and the campground itself is very clean too. Give this place a try if you're camping in Gardiner.

My favorite RV park when I visit Yellowstone!! I love the fact they have full hook ups. There is an on-site laundry facility, as well as public showers. I've used the restrooms before Covid, but have not used the facilities since Covid. I use to never use my own bathroom while traveling in the RV but these are different times! The hosts live onsite so the park is well kept and clean. They are friendly and approachable. I love the location. This park is very close to the North entrance of YNP. We use this spot as a jumping point to go into Lamar Valley to go wolf and bear watching. We invested in a telescope for better viewing than our binoculars. The RV park itself hosts elk that frequently stop by. During the summer we were able to watch the rafters pass by. Summer months bring on more insects in the air. You're camping outdoors so that is going to expected. I recommend applying Vick's for mosquitoes. We also bought a racket that electrocutes the insects upon contact. Used it plenty while staying here in the summer. There is wifi, and it is dog friendly. However, no open dog runs. Your fur babies need to be leashed. I wouldn't want them to be free range anyway. It is also on a cliff overlooking a river- no fencing so watch your kids. I plan on staying here every time I visit YNP.

This place is awesome. Best RV park for north Yellowstone. Super nice staff. Always friendly when you come in. This park is right on the river which the views I have no words for. The back in river view, most of those spots are 30 amp. There are only a couple 50 amp for the back in. And all the pull thru spots are 50 amp. This park is 5 mins from the north park entrance. There is laundry and showers here at the park which are always clean and taken care off. I have been here twice coming all the way from California. Worth the 1000 mile drive!

This is a lovely RV park. The facilities are clean and seemed well maintained. Our site was right above the Yellowstone river. Watch rafts float by and watch for wildlife, we had an elk and her calf in our camp! The highway is close but we didn't hear much noise from it. This makes a great home base for exploring Yellowstone. I'd definitely stay here again. Ask for site # 22 or 23.

The tent campground portion feels like an after thought. Very small and way too close together so there isn't much privacy. Tent camping is also the absolute furthest from the bathrooms so hope you don't need to use them in the middle of the night. However, the rest rooms are very clean. We also had parked in front of our campsite on night one, but night two were told to not park there anymore and as soon as we moved our car the guy who told us to move came and threw down a log so we couldn't go back to parking there which seemed super petty. The biggest redeeming factor of this place is it's right by the hot springs which are incredible, and you're very likely to see some elk!

This is a great spot for camping! It's smack-dab alongside the Yellowstone river. It's kept clean and tidy. It's down below the highway so there's no noise from traffic. And the staff is attentive to every camper's need. Pet friendly (three distinct "pet areas"). Adjacent to Gardiner, but far enough out of town to feel "rustic". The price isn't bad, but the spots are a little on the smallish side. We've got slides on both sides of our rig, and I felt like we were encroaching on our neighbors on both sides. The campground WiFi was meh, but we had five bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, so no complaints there. Highly recommended! PS: There were more elk than I could count surrounding the campsite: Elk in the river, elk in the fields, elk grazing, elk just chilling out. I must have taken 100 photos of elk.

I stayed here for three nights, in a tent site, in early September. The site and facilities were very clean and everything worked. Site managers were friendly and the views of the river we lovely. I would absolutely stay here again as it is close to the town for restaurants and shopping, and just minutes from the north gate of Yellowstone.

Amazing location right outside the North Entrance to Yellowstone Park. Owners are super friendly and attentive. Beautifully maintained site, gorgeous setting on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Ask for a riverside back-in. We spent a week and will be back. Walk to downtown Gardiner which is a really cool mountain town with everything you need. Lots of adventure to be had with whitewater rafting, fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife spotting.

We have been here for four nights and this is a wonderful spot to get away from the hubbub and chaos of Yellowstone NP and Gardiner. Just off the highway right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Excellent RV sites with full hookups and cable TV and WiFi. Very nice and well maintained rest rooms showers and laundry facilities. And a nice and friendly personable staff. A great place to stay

Just a few miles outside of the north entrance to Yellowstone sits this smaller, super affordable tent and RV campground located next to the Yellowstone River! As many of you know, or will soon find out, camping inside the park is very hard to come by. It's first come, first serve basis and fills up by 10am. If you, like us, were on the road, an early morning arrival may not be possible to secure a space. Enter the sweet town of Gardiner, MT.... You'll hit this spot coming down from Glacier. In fact, you have to pass it to enter the park from this direction. We called and knew we would be arriving later than office hours. It wasn't an issue. The gracious and very friendly camp hosts came to OUR site as we set up before sundown and rang us up at our picnic table! She was even able to take a debit card vs cash without having to open the office up! It was so simple! Don't forget to show your AAA card for a discount! We threw in a quick load of wash (in the quarter operated machines) located in the bath house right there, watched a spectacular sunset and saw the most beautiful nighttime star display. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the rushing river just next to us! The sites are a tad closer than I'm used to, but with everything else this place had going for it, I didn't mind at all. In the morning we hit up the gas station just down the road for gas (which is hard to come by in these parts) and new ice. There's also a Subway which came in handy for grabbing a picnic lunch to take with us into the park! This campsite is conveniently located! It was all easy and perfect. I highly recommend a stay here before a day in Yellowstone!

Nice RV park, all back in sites for full hookups. Staff was friendly. We enjoyed the fire pit in front of the office in the evenings. As advertised, there are no laundry facilities on site. The hot springs were nice to go to in the evenings (they are closed Mondays). The campsite was in a beautiful area right on the river. Not too much road noise at all. Elk were hanging around the campsites in the morning, which was pretty cool. Overall, great location just a couple miles to the north entrance of Yellowstone. Gardiner was a fun little town which was just 1 mile away, gas station right close to fill up and grab snacks before hitting the park for the day.

Booked a trip here for July. Travel restrictions are in place for our state. When we canceled, they decided to keep part of our payment. Will not be returning here when we rebook.

We just got into town and had a spot reserved at Yellowstone. Unfortunately we got lost inside and had to leave. We looked for rv parks nearby and found this one. The park was full and we had zero water thinking we would be hooked uP. We asked the owner if we could use their water suppy directly where we were and she said no. Knowing we were not from town and lost with no place to go and no water at dusk still would not spare a few gallons of water. NOT A TRUE RV'ER. KARMA

Stayed here July 12 - 15 in space 23, which is BY FAR the best spot in the entire campground. You back in and your Trailer door opens right up to the Yellowstone River. The view is Super Deluxe and could not have asked for anything more. You can watch rafters paddle down the river throughout the day and may even see a Bald Eagle fly by (my wife did). It is a full hookup park and even had quite a few TV stations on the cable if you are into that kind of thing. We were visited by some of the local Elk one evening. They very slowly and quietly lurk around corners so don't be surprised by them if you see them. Can't say enough good things about this place. It is about 2 miles from the North entrance and the town of Gardiner is pretty cool with some good food and a great little General Store. The price at the park was pretty cheap considering. I think it was about $70/night. When I called a few places at the West Entrance, they were all over $100/night. You won't go wrong with this place.

Great! Much better than the gov't campsites. Laundry and shower facilities are great! Fantastic view of river.

Great spot for tent camping just outside (a few miles) Yellowstone. Bathrooms clean, showers spacious, tent sites right next to the river with great views and also white noise so did not hear neighbors at all. Slept well! Another reviewer commented about the fences, at the edge of a steep descent to the river, and I have to agree it would be hazardous for small children (my kids are older and did not seem too interested). Fun to see white water rafters go by!

Another example of people putting forth zero effort. Obviously the spot is beautiful, and there are full hookups which are hard to come by in the area. The fence on the edge of the cliff should have hog wire or something to prevent children from just falling off the cliff into the raging river. Kind of insane! There was no playground or trails or anything to do there, you have to go into Yellowstone for anything to do. The hosts are annoying and stare and their dogs bark. The office is up on top of the hill, a long walk up every time you need anything and the garbage cans are in an inconvenient spot unless you are tent camping. The bathrooms are locked and didn't get the password. They have a washer dryer that didn't look too gross, you must pay to use

This review is for the tent sites. There are 15, all located on a flat grassy area above the scenic river. The sites are spaced apart pretty well for semi privacy, the river is loud enough to drown out neighboring tent noise. Each site has a picnic table and flat grass. The RV's are parked in the middle, tent sites at either end are separated from the RV's. There are no campfire pits (minus 1 star) but there are charcoal grates. Bathrooms, showers, laundry facility are very nice and clean, definitely a step up from park campground facilities and justify the $28 rate. We camped here in a camper van on Mem Day weekend. The gravel at the tent site was mud free and flat, the 2 key features needed for van camping. Only one other tent site was in use but RV spots were sold out. The campgrounds at north end pf park were full. This was a great find right at the north entry to Yellowstone.

We had a great time tent camping here. The sites are along the river which was very scenic and nice to listen to at night. The restrooms/showers/laundry/camp sink were very clean and our kids loved that we were close to the playground (next to the restrooms/showers, etc..). The owners are very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend.

Great location- 1 mile outside of the north entrance to Yellowstone. Facilities clean. Spots are a little close together. If you don't need a pull through spot- you can back right up to overseeing the river.

Perfect location for a home base when traveling into Yellowstone park. There are freely roaming elk on the property that's just lovely to view when looking out your window when they're walking by or eating some of the grass next to your rig. I have to mention Charlie when I mention the staff we were grateful for his help. We lost a John Deere pin and just by chance; I asked him if while he was out and about on his property if he had found it, and he did! I knew he would of because I saw him drive around and take care of the property.

This campground was perfect for an early morning entry to Yellowstone. My boyfriend and I reserved a tent spot in advance and were pleased to find the paperwork waiting for us at the entry when we arrived. Because this is an RV park we didn't have high expectations for the tent sites, but they were very nicely placed on a grassy area overlooking the river. The tent sites are close to each other, but our neighbors were friendly and quiet. The bathrooms were impeccably clean; easily the best on our 10 day trip. Overall it was a great place to stay before entering Yellowstone Park. The proximity to the north gate also meant that after setting up camp at 5:30 pm we could cruise in and explore Mammoth Hot Springs that evening, which helped reduce the number of attractions we needed to pack in the next day. I would highly recommend this spot if you're unable to find tent camping in the Park.

We stayed here for two nights during our trip to yellowstone. It is located off the highway but we could not hear the traffic noise at all. The other side of the park is the river. It is driving distance to the North Entrance. The facilities are clean: restrooms and laundry. Trashcan is located on one end while the restroom/laundry are located on one end of the park which is kind of inconvenient. There were a lot of droppings from dogs and other animals on the ground so you have to be careful where you are stepping. Overall, i would recommend the place.

If you enjoy camping next to a septic tank in desperate need of a pumping after rude service and inaccurate address description, this may very well be the place for you. Personally, I can't imagine a worse place to camp and would recommend going anywhere else in the beautiful park.

Awesome campground with the lovely sound of the Gardiner River rolling past right below us. Anyone with a plan to visit northern Yellowstone should consider staying here!

At the last minute, my fiancé and I decided to take a trip to Yellowstone. Arriving on a Friday. In July. We were so lucky to find a spot to camp! I believe it was $28 a night for primitive. The bathrooms were clean and laundry is available. There's a trail along the river to walk the dogs. I'm used to free camping (because of my career), so the cost seemed a bit much. Otherwise, great trip!

When the review was written in 2010, Yellowstone RV Park was under different management. The current managers are very pleasant and the park is in great shape. We stayed there in 2015 and enjoyed the staff and the campground. It is a great place on the Yellowstone River to stay with an RV or to tent camp.

Small, quiet park. Has all the essentials including clean showers, all right on the river and within walking distance if town. Managers are very nice and we would come back.

I think this was the nicest park we camped at during our trip to Montana and Yellowstone. We had a very nice gravel spot that was level and needed no help from my husband to our RV. The bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities were clean and accessible. We got a great view in the evening of Elk, a bear, and an antelope on the hillside. The staff was friendly and greeted us with smiles. I would recommend this park to all my friends and family!!
