Couldn't be closer to Yellowstone! Inexpensive and comfy spot to lay your head.
There is a huge variety in site sizes. We got in on a Tuesday at 4:00 and there were two spots left so I wouldn't hang your vacation on it unless you are traveling in the shoulder season.
Road from Gardiner is a well maintained gravel roadn it is somewhat windy and steep but passable by just about any vehicle. No reception.
A beautiful area to camp right next to north entrance of yellowstone. If you have clear skies, stargazing is amazing here. Beautiful greenery and birds. Pit toilets only. Only some sites are reservable. Others are first come, first serve. If it rains, the sites get muddy.
We absolutely love this campground! It is quite and convenient to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The views of the Absaroka Mountains and Mammoth Hot Springs at the higher sights. The stargazing at this park is incredible with little to no light pollution. The sights were nice, but not all that private. Highly recommend this for cheap camping just outside Yellowstone.
Campsites are perfect for small camper, RV, van or tent. Anything under 20' basically. Lots of trees for shade. Asphalt road & campsite parking. Pit toilets, trash receptacle & fresh water onsite. Sites are well spaced & limited. Super low NFS pricing. The only negative is the proximity to I-84 & major railroad system. Bring ear plugs untill you get used to the sound. It becomes white noise after a couple of days. Great central location to the Columbia River Gorge & 30 minutes from Portland.
