Norris campground is centrally located in Yellowstone National Park
and offers a good spot for those planning to visit many of the most
famous features in Yellowstone. Norris is a relatively short drive
to Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Hayden Valley, Dunraven Pass,
Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and Madison Junction. Trying to visit
all of those locations while camped at Mammoth, Indian Creek or
Slough Creek would involve much more driving, thus taking up a good
chunk of your rare and valuable trip time. Norris campground provides
modern bathrooms.
The elk viewing(and hearing) can be very good at
Norris. Keep alert at morning and dusk when near meadow areas
and you will often spot some of the giant Yellowstone elk. There
are a couple cool thing that give a unique ambiance to Norris
in this writers opinion. First, the whole campsite appears to
be on some sort of pine covered mound in a sea of meadow. Secondly,
the Gibbon river and Solfatara river both make some beautiful
twists and turns right near the southern border of the campground,
creating an idyllic setting. Occasionally, those fishing or just
sitting by the rivers at sunset will find themselves accompanied
by a giant bull elk. Norris is also a good place to hear wolves
and coyotes howling at night. The elk like to bugle in the fall
, day or night - which will jolt you awake from a deep sleep real
quick. In fact, the bugling you hear on the Yellowstone camping
dvd was recorded at 2 AM in Norris a couple falls back.
Norris is definitely one of the top campgrounds in Yellowstone.
People also appreciate the drop box registration and payment system
which reduces congestion.
