Canyon Campground Yellowstone —elevation 7,900 feet (2408 m)—lies in a lodgepole pine forest at Canyon Village, south of the Washburn range and near the breath-taking Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Canyon Village offers stores, restaurants, and lodging. Nearby hikes include Cascade Lake, Mount Washburn, and the Canyon Rim trails.
From Canyon Village: Go 1/4 mi E.
The campsite and camp ground was clean. My only problem was that they only allowed 4 showers total (they give you a punch card) for a family of 5 for 2 nights. For $39, that's not good.... we were only allowed 4 showers unless we bought extra. To buy extra showers it was $5 per shower extra.
Excellent layout. Space between each campsite was generous. Every campsite had a HUGE food storage cupboard. Each tents-only loop has 2 bathrooms, numerous fresh water supply, and a dishes cleaning station. A wonderful experience!
2 years later, and even in the rain, Canyon is our favorite campground. Excellent location, and the layout of campsites is BEST in the Park.
Showers are included in the reservation which is nice. They also have laundry machines but I didn’t see them. Sites are well-maintained and the location is great. Campground is huge, so not the most private sites if that’s what you’re looking for.
Loved this location - great bear boxes and proximity to Canyon Village. Also enjoyed the showers (included in the fee). We were inside a loop but felt like we had plenty of room in between sites.
We spend one night there on our RV trip. The showers were good and included and there is a laundry. We loved the cafeteria. We had a nice cup of coffee and breakfast. It was quiet at night and we saw a lots of stars.
