Campgrounds are Parkcamper.com's specialty. We offer full video campground tours on DVD and for download(coming soon). You can order the Northern Rocky Mountains Edition 3 DVD set by clicking the DVD picture. Specific outdoor related multimedia is hard to find on the internet. It seems every other site shares the same meager pictures and information word for word. Parkcamper was created to remedy that. Be sure to click on each campground on the campground map for it's respective page.

Yellowstone National Park camping is simply sublime. There's nothing like spending the night amongst the wild landscape and creatures of this spectacular national park. Wildlife can and does enter campgrounds, so be aware at all times. Also, you may be awoken at night by the sounds of bison grunting, elk calling, loons singing and wolves howling. Yellowstone National Park is truly wild camping country. All the big predators still exist in this park.

Like with other National Park campgrounds, signing up and paying for your site is easy. Simply walk up to the campground entrance registration center, fill out the form, insert your money, tear off your portion of the envelope (receipt) then deposit the envelope in the collection box. You then place your receipt on your campground stake (usually this has your site number and a clip). Some campgrounds in Yellowstone National Park operate on a first come, first serve basis, and some on a reservation system as well. Bridge Bay, Fishing Bridge, Madison Canyon and Grant Village are some of the more popular campgrounds with reservation systems. Also, some of these camgrounds require you to pay at a front office rather than with a strong box and envelope system. Some Yellowstone National Park campgrounds can fill by 11 AM, especialy Pebble Creek and Slough Creek (limited sites). Gathering firewood in Yellowstone National Park is permitted as long as it is only dead and downed wood. No chainsaws allowed. Check out time in Yellowstone National Park is 10 AM. Also, pets are prohibited on boardwalks, trails and roads at all times. They must also be kept on leashes no longer than six feet.
