When fully open, Yellowstone has 12 campgrounds with 2000+ campsites scattered throughout the park. Five of the campgrounds are operated by a third-party company, Yellowstone National Park Lodges. They take reservations online or via phone (1-307-344-7311). The remaining ones are operated by the National Park. Historically, campgrounds operated by the National Park were all first-come first-served basis, but starting in 2021 three of them are reservable through recreation.gov.
Even though that sounds like a lot, many of them are at capacity or filled up by the morning of that day. So plan ahead! YSNP offers a nice real time map of the campgrounds and their current availability status.
The price of a campsite per night ranges from $15 to $50 depending on location and vehicle type (car vs trailer or RV). Most of them are open between May and October. Check their webpage to see more detailed information about each campsite and their offerings.
No trip is complete without the right gear. Teton Backcountry Rentals offers gear rentals that makes packing hassle-free. Truck campers and roof top tents, tables, lanterns, cookware, dining sets, are just some of the few things we offer.Check it out on our summer gear collection.
