Taking a road trip and this was an unplanned stop. So glad we stopped it was amazing. I was a…read morelittle disappointed that the only animals we saw were buffalo. I was excited to see Old Faithful but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. I liked all the geysers better. We were there 8 hours and still didn't see everything. If we were staying in the area longer we would have come back the next day. I'd go again.

Two non-prepaid entrance lanes. . After passing the entrance booth, it's a 40min (25mi) drive to the nearest flagship destination, Grand Prismatic Spring. + On the bright side, on your way in you spot a cluster of fumaroles spewing steam high into the sky. It's like the Earth became a steaming hothead haha -- Even worse was the drive out. Tue ~8pm it's a looong slow line exiting Yellowstone's west side. Think I spent 40-60min sitting in that line. . In the morning, why not have 2-3 paid entrance lanes, and 2-3 exit lanes in the evening? Wanna go through here on a holiday or weekend? I don't even wanna imagine.

Yellowstone National Park is nothing short of extraordinary. It feels like stepping into another…read moreworld where nature is raw, powerful, and constantly in motion. From erupting geysers to colorful hot springs, dramatic canyons, and endless wildlife sightings, every turn feels unreal.

Five stars - It's Yellowstone, how could I give it anything less?…read more I'll keep this simple. There are moments in this park that you will feel like you are on another planet. The geysers and the hot springs are surreal. My favorites spots were the Grand Prismatic Spring, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Fountain and Artist Paint Pots. I saw elks, bison, grizzly bears, and a wolf. My recommendations are: visit during off season (if you can), book a guided tour if it is your first time in the park, and get the America the Beautiful Pass.

Pros: 1. The…read morelandscape is absolutely stunning. Anywhere you turn there's a picturesque shot waiting to be captured. 2. The park is huge and deserved to be explored through and through. 3. Watching animals in their natural habitats and not in an enclosure is magical. 4. All the Yellowstone rangers are super helpful and ready to help if you're lost and not sure how to get to your destination. Cons: 1. The biggest cons to Yellowstone and the reason why I can only give the park 3 stars instead of 4 are the parking nightmares and lack of bathrooms, especially in the high-profile attractions. There is just no excuse for that when there's plenty of space to build more parking lots and bathrooms. 2. Somewhat related to #1, because the roads only have one lane for each direction, traffic logjams often occur when long lines of cars are formed trying to get into a parking lot that's already full. And since there's only one lane, it's not really possible to go around them if you're just trying to go straight. 3. Food pretty mediocre and extremely overpriced.

Amenities | easy check in | family friendly…read more We stayed here one night on our way to Yellowstone. It's a good KOA for families doing a short or long stay. Check in was quick and easy. We booked an rv site that holds a 24ft long vehicle. Our site 444 was at the very end next to a field but within a few minutes walking distance to the trash and bathrooms/showers. Showering and bathrooms is luxury when you're camping, so no complaints. I'm grateful. There are 4 shower stalls and 6 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. I highly recommend wearing shower footwear because the floors are dirty. One stall had a broken lock, so I think people were only using 3 stalls. Plenty of hooks, counter space, and lights. Our site was mostly level with hookups. So nice to have when it's a hot summer day. I saw they have a coffee stand towards the front, a store, and a nice updated kids playground. This campground is 17 min from the next major town with lots of gas and food options on the way to Yellowstone.

We stayed here from July 13-18 with both an RV and a tent, and overall had a great experience…read more The RV sites were level, so we didn't even need to use our levelers. Water and electrical hookups were reliable and easy to connect. It was definitely hotter than we expected, so I'd recommend shopping for groceries and drinks before you arrive. Cases of water were over $15 for a 12-pack, so bringing supplies with you will save some money. They have a breakfast shack and coffee shack open from 6:30-9:30 AM, and a dinner shack open from 6:30-9:30 PM, which was convenient. The coffee shack has ice cream too! The highlight for our kids was what they called the "hot pool." There's no hot tub, but the pool is heated and was warm enough that they wanted to swim every day. We also appreciated that the pool stayed open until 10:00 PM, which made for a fun way to end the evenings. The kids also had a blast on the huge jump pad and playground. There was a nice gaga ball pit with the rules clearly posted, and it was always full of kids playing together. There's a dog park on site that's a nice amenity. It would be perfect for most dogs, although it felt a little large for our family's dachshund. One feature we really appreciated was the bathhouse. There were plenty of showers and bathrooms, plus a family shower that made evenings much easier. With seven of us, it was far more convenient than trying to have everyone shower in our small RV. Only complaint would be a little extra cleaning in the showers through the day. The KOA is conveniently located about 15 minutes from the park and only 10 minutes from town, where we found gift shops, ice cream, pizza, grocery stores, and plenty of other essentials. Overall, it's a clean, family-friendly campground with dependable RV hookups, great amenities, and plenty to keep both kids and adults happy. We'd happily stay again.
