    Snacks from the camp store
    Jacqueline T.

    We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Yellowstone. It's about 10 minutes from the west entrance to the park. As far as RV parks go, I'd day this is on the nicer side. It's a big RV park and it didn't feel to crowded. We had an end spot so we weren't super close to any other RVs. They had a small store with some camping/grocery essentials. We got some snacks there after a long day in the park. My main complaint is that they say they have WiFi, but it's so bad that your device typically won't stay connected to the network. Overall, it's not bad as far as RV parks go. Their sites are full hookup and they have laundry too.

    Not bad for a KOA. There was A LOT of road noise through the night, and WiFi never worked (they tell you as much when you check in... her exact words were, "Our WiFi code is listed here *points to pamphlet*... good luck!" Hahahaha Showers and toilets were clean for massive public use. We had a site in the back, by the forest line; it was a bit more private than most.

    Deluxe Cabin at the KOA
    Sam S.

    We LOVED our Deluxe Cabin at this KOA near Yellowstone and very much enjoyed our time here. The cabin was (mostly) clean and well-maintained with sleeping arrangements for six people, including: a small room with bunk beds, a pullout sofa bed in the common/kitchen area, and a full bed in the master bedroom. We had a fully-stocked kitchen with stove, microwave and fridge. Dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and other essentials were all included. Outside the cabin had a large front porch, fire pit, and picnic table. There were some areas that should have been improved. First, the shower was decent but not great, with really low water pressure. The water heater was also very small and the staff warned us ahead of time not to indulge in long showers. My wife and I both showered quickly to conserve the hot water. Second, the floors were kind of dirty and left our bare feet dirty. There were also some cobwebs in the ceiling corners that should have been cleared out by the cleaners. The campground and RV areas were quiet in the evening and we slept great in our cabin. The staff was friendly and hospitable. We were only a short drive to Yellowstone and very much enjoyed our time there. Would highly recommend!

    The great thing about this park is the location to the west gate entrance of Yellowstone- about 20 minutes. The staff was pretty funny, giving some jabs about all the new trailer owners during Covid. The park has little amenities, which is fine. They did have small fishing ponds with no fish, but our son was happy to have somewhere to cast his pole.

    Rudest RV park ever for top $! The lady from "Chicago" was the worst! Her behavior was uncalled for and she will ruin that campgrounds. We booked our trip 6months prior because of traveling with friends. We requested and they confirmed back that we would be side by side when we booked. That didn't happen and they were not even sorry about their mistake. I will never stay here again when we return. It wasn't just this one incident, it was almost every time we had to go to the office.

    Great place

    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.

On the other hand, even when we entered at 6:30am, traffic built up by the time we got to popular locations to the south between the entrance and Old Faithful. Not terribly bad, but enough that we would have started earlier if we could have. Studying traffic apps, it looked like traffic was better entering before 5:30am or maybe even 6am. We never saw bad backups (besides wildlife sightings) going north, or going all the way west between the north and south loops. We never started early enough to see sunrise inside the park. At the entrance, the far right lane was for pre-paid passes. With three other lanes open, the prepaid lane wasnt even twice as fast as the others. It was around two-cars faster when the other lanes were 6 or 8 cars. Pretty efficient. And they give you a useful park map, though you can buy more detailed maps and guidebooks at the park's visitors centers and around town. We used the free ones :-) We felt that the NPS app had info that's easier to access than their website. And believe it when they say cell service is limited to the major sights and visitor centers. Even GPS was spotty. So, after our first couple hours in the park, we made a point to download maps and info before the next leg of the trip, and on the second time in, we downloaded the night before.

    If you end up trying to save money by staying in Idaho when visiting Yellowstone rather than…read morestaying in Wyoming, this is likely the main entrance you'll use to exit and re-enter the park during the days you visit. This community that the entrance is next to is also called West Yellowstone, and there's a lot of cute stuff there including a national park visitor center, gas stations, souvenirs and gift shops, and of course lots of restaurants and dessert shops. As for the entrance itself: if you come in during the most congested hours (usually 8-10am or so), despite the fact that there are usually 5-7 lanes open, the traffic will back up all the way down the road from the entrance to the main road of west Yellowstone. People do a decent job of spreading out to try to get in as quickly as possible, but you will have to wait at least a bit. It looks a lot worse than it is; I went in around 8:30 am or so and the number of cars was absolutely ABSURD, but the wait for me to eventually get to a ranger was only about 20-25 minutes. After you get through the entrance, there is a short length of two lanes, and then that becomes one lane. So long as there isn't an animal crossing, the lane does move just fine (at speed limit which is 35-45 mph). Overall - don't be too dismayed by the crazy line to get into the park at this entrance, it does move fast and the advantage of a nice visitor center and tons of food, gas and other resources like minutes from that entrance makes it a great spot to look for lodging or a break in between a visit to Yellowstone.

The site has a general store as well as a market/deli Under Canvas is closer to camping than glamping for the following reasons: 1) It took effort to start evening fires in the wood stove, but we didn't appreciate waking every 1.5 - 2 hrs to maintain the fire... and overnight / early morning temps were 37* F - 40s * F. 2) Other campers were loud and didn't respect quiet hours starting at 10pm. We're sympathetic with families with children. However adults are capable of speaking in lower volumes, cheering / shouting, etc. and committed to the guest agreement. (Mgmt. likely anticipates this, so ear plugs and eye masks are available for free in the lobby.) 3) The on-site breakfast restaurant (back of house in particular) isn't prepared for the number of diners. If you bring your own food, your vehicle serves as a rodent / bear box food locker. We didn't mind the common bathhouse, with locks that show which units are occupied / vacant. Each unit affords more privacy because they feature sink, toilet and shower (water is heated by a propane tank). Each unit has electricity and is temperature controlled. Highlights: a) Complimentary hot coffee, hot water, tea bags, decaf coffee packs are available in the lobby as early as 6am daily. (Half & half and oat milk and sweetener condiments are available.) The lobby features commercially packaged food & drink items, in addition to merchandise (apparel, games, maps) b) Despite the cold temps, the beds are comfortable and the 6-layers of bedding kept us warm. Hot water bottles are available upon request. Furniture inside and outside tents encourage rest. c) USB-charged lanterns and power banks to recharge personal electronic devices are available. Exchange the power banks at the front desk as needed. d) Multiple cornhole sets available and a children's play area nearby, in the open space adjacent to the lobby. e) Fire pits and s'mores ingredients are available nightly if you want to partake. A no-host (you pay) happy hour drink trailer is also available in the open space adjacent to the lobby. f) Daily activities planned for children, in addition to a live singer-songwriter during a happy hour once or twice a week. g) Friendly staff on a work exchange from across the U.S. They do their best... Campers are advised to text the front desk to seek assistance. This site is less than a 15 min one-way drive to the town of West Yellowstone. The Food Roundup store is great for groceries if you want to stock a cooler for lunch within the national park. I recall one father asking the UC staff if milk was sold on site.

I would echo pretty…read moremuch everything that Brandy C. said from almost exactly one year ago except that we had our own rudimentary "bathroom" in our tent. If you read Adriana's review before that one, you may be mistaken because while much of the staff is young here, I think they would handle an emergency just fine and their enthusiasm and dedication to ensure a positive guest experience is clear. Furthermore, if you are expecting glamping to control for the elements, you haven't read enough about Under Canvas or glamping in general. When we visited it was close to freezing in the middle of the night. Like Adriana we also woke up some when the fire burned out in the middle of the night. On the other hand, we also experienced the great pleasure of creating a roaring fire that, for most of the night, kept our tent very warm, and created a peaceful backdrop to reading in the comfy chairs in the tent. It was also so windy we felt like the tent might blow down but it was fine. The elements are part of what you except when you sleep in nature. Compared to our stay at Under Canvas in Paradise Valley at the other end of the park it was slightly cheaper here. Perhaps it is because there's more competition nearby as it is much closer to a population center (and entrance to the park) with the town of West Yellowstone. Like Brandy, we also heard more noise outside (Paradise Valley was silent) but otherwise, the feel and overall arrangement is very similar of course between the different Under Canvas.' If you are visiting Yellowstone and focusing on the Geothermal parts of the park on the Western side, Under Canvas could be a convenient option for you, although for the price, I would also consider just staying in the park as there so many beautiful (often rustic lodges) and upon checking just now, even for this weekend, most of them were cheaper than Under Canvas. Of course you can't compare the glamping experience but you should also consider how much time you have too as even from Under Canvas West Yellowstone, you will add an hour often times given the traffic getting in and/or out of the park each day and could just stay in the park.
