Thanks! I'll do that.

You know what goes through a bears mind while it's looking at you asleep in your sleeping bag? "Hey look , they wrapped it to go." We stayed in Jackson,Wy.

I’m just starting my research for Yellowstone and I can’t thank you enough for these detailed videos!!

Fantastic informative video. I was there several years ago now, naive to the lack of available campsites and I know it’s much worse now.. I was tent camping. Yes, I found an open site for one night eventually, almost dark and very stressed, and then had to be schooled by the camp hosts to basically stalk the grounds in the am, to find a site that I could claim for the rest of my stay. The experience was nerve wracking. Unless you like that kind of “I have nowhere to stay” thrill, I highly recommend leaving nothing to chance.

This video is a gem! Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Very informative. Are there any cabins or "glamping" places to rent inside the park? Coming from NY and won't have any gear, etc, for tent camping and likely aren't going to rent an RV.

Excellent information guys! Mostly right-on info! Fishing Bridge will be closed for all of 2021. Tower Fall may also be closed for 2021 depending on road closure restrictions. Norris is the most centrally located of the CGs- FCFS so try to arrive at the gate NLT 6 a.m. There's a 1 mile trail to the Norris Geyser Basin thru the woods - beats the hell out of trying to find parking at the Basin! I've seen bears on it so bring "de spray"! My favorites are Slough Creek and Pebble Creek, both in Lamar Valley. The former has only about 15 or so sites; the latter perhaps twice as many. Interestingly, Slough Creek has good cell (at least for Verizon, perhaps others, too) due to a tower on a high ridge across the Valley (almost impossible to spot). Both are FCFS so get there before sun-up. Finally, Indian Creek is located between Mammoth and Norris and is also FCFS and a very nice CG - not unusual to have grizzlies hanging around (things that go bump in the night). I volunteer with the rangers for the summer seasons so the info you and I provide is spot-on.

Thank you! We have stayed at Canyon, Madison, and Mammoth. Canyon and Madison are awesome for centralized location.

I will be traveling from the east (directly from Teddy Roosevelt NP) and plan to enter Yellowstone through the its north entrance. The issue is, I expect to arrive at the northern border of the park at about 6:30pm because of how far I am driving to get there. It is too late to reserve any of the reservable sites within the park, and I'm sure it's safe to say that all first come first serve sites will be filled by that late in the day too. My plan is to stay in a hotel in the town of Gardiner (the town just outside the north entrance to the park), and then wake up very early the next morning to drive into the park and snag a site in the northern half to stay at (pebble creek or tower falls). We are tent camping, and will be there in the first week of June. Good plan you think?

@WereintheRockies

2 жыл бұрын

Yes I think that’s a good plan. Just try to have a back up in case you still can’t get a fcfs site. Campgrounds outside the park near Cooke city might also have spots

Hi there, If i reserve a camp site that is listed as "RV 20ft + tent up to 12x12", 1) do I set up the 12x12 on the parking spot of somewhere else? and 2) on the website to reserve, they said I could do RV, Tent, or RV with Tent. Rather than bring my RV, can I also reserve it if I bring my mini-van? Thanks and great video.

There are some around Yellowstone. See our blog article about camping in/near Yellowstone: wereintherockies.com/the-complete-guide-to-camping-at-yellowstone/

Yellowstone is amazing! Camping is a great way to enjoy this incredible national park. But there are so many camping options, how can you make sense of it all? I break it all down for you. See my website for a chart of all the campgrounds in Yellowstone: wereintherockies.com/the-comp... To book a campsite in Yellowstone: yellowstonenationalparklodges.com To find a Forest Service site outside of Yellowstone: recreation.gov

I'm curious about tent sizes. We have a large site booked in the Canyon campground that we are sharing with our friends. We saw that the size limit for tents was 12x12 for one tent or two 8x8 tents. Any tips?

@WereintheRockies

@elizabethsperin869

No on the website it says you cannot bring a tent larger than those. I was wondering if that was a hard and fast rule or if they were just trying to make sure it fit within the campsite.

Wow, that’s a good question. We think Yellowstone rangers can be quite strict. But the rangers don’t run the campgrounds. Hmmm. I would try calling the Yellowstone Lodges company to see what they say.

Great video, I have never been to Yellowstone and have only camped around my home in the Los Angeles area. I really want to visit Yellowstone since I was laid off. It's very short notice, so I am planning to go sometime later this month or maybe in September. There's for sure no reservations for on-site campgrounds, what would you recommend for off-site camping? It seems like I have to camp in the national forests nearby, do you know what time we should show up to those campgrounds/any recommendations. Thank you!

@WereintheRockies

Hi Boris. Sorry to hear about being laid off. First, try looking up Recreation.gov and search for Yellowstone. Then click on the map feature. Often you can find a site near Hebgen Lake on the West side. If you can’t find a spot, check out the link in the description for some free sites around the area. It’s a gamble, obviously, but they could work as well.

There is a gorgeous pull out near the campground. Take a walk down to the lake where you can still see the trees sticking out of the lake.
