Unforgettable moments in nature's embrace at KOA Journey Mountainside, Yellowstone. We stayed during labor day weekend so I'm unsure if it's just less people around that time but all amenities are clean while location is fairly serene. About 15 mins away from West Gate Entrance.
A fun and peaceful getaway that we can't wait to return to!
Wife and I stayed here 3 nights while visiting Yellowstone. Site is conveniently located close to West Yellowstone but beyond that, was not great. The bathrooms were disgusting, especially the showers. The sign at the bathrooms said they were cleaned “as needed” but appeared to not be cleaned very well, if at all. There was hair, dirt, mud and other things in the showers every time we attempted to shower. They were gross to the point that we elected to to shower. WiFi was advertised but when I asked about not being able to connect I was told it was “hit or miss” There was not a level spot at our campsite to be had for our tent and we lost power on the last day. I recognize this is a campsite but we’ve stayed at other sites for cheaper that we’re far nicer. I would not recommend.
This KOA was amazing, one of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed at. Washrooms and showers were beyond clean and plentiful, great laundry facilities, and the staff were gold. They even gave us free coffees when we checked out. I highly recommend!
As beautiful as every movie and TV show depicts! The park is clean and well kept. There is copious amounts of road construction, so be prepared for delays. We were at a dead stop for almost 40 minutes. Fill your tank before heading in. Watch for wildlife. Don't try to pet the Buffalo. Don't stick your hands in the thermal pools. Don't be a dummy. Let's keep Yellowstone amazing.
Has decent access to the more trafficked entrance to Yellowstone.
We camped in a van, and had plenty of rooms. It has the expected water, sewage and power, and comes with a metal fire pit, which isn't as much of a sure thing as you might expect for these campsites.
The area is decently wooded and green, but will likely be packed during peak months. Plenty of room to walk a dog.
Warning; if you are camping in a tent, be aware that if the game Warden issues a bear advisory, your reservation may be cancelled out of an abundance of caution.
Showers and bathrooms are clean and spacious.
