Be Prepared
If you’re planning to camp in the backcountry, you’ll need to get a permit.
It’s also a good idea to share your camping plans with someone in case you run into trouble. If you’re planning to camp in grizzly bear country, read our bear precautions first.
Pick a Location
The following list includes some Yellowstone area campgrounds.
Colter Bay Village
Tucked along the shores of Jackson Lake, Colter Bay has accommodations ranging from campsites and cabins to an RV park. There are two restaurants, launderette and showers, a grocery store, gift and apparel shops, corrals, service station and a full-service marina.
Signal Mountain and Lizard Creek Campground
Located on the shores of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, Signal Mountain and Lizard Creek campgrounds are tucked among the trees with incredible views and lake access.

Shoshone National Forest

Grand Teton RV Park & Resort
Grand Teton RV Park & Resort, located near Moran and the east entrance of Grand Teton National Park, has plenty of spots to park your camper or RV — and clean, rustic cabins you can rent (bring your own bedding). The Park offers spectacular views of the Teton Range, and has a swimming pool you can cool off in.
Converse County, WY
From Medicine Bow National Forest to beautiful Ayres Natural Bridge, Converse County offers plenty of spots perfect for camping. Settle down here and you’ll get abundant wildlife, beautiful scenery and great fishing.
Lake Flaming Gorge

All facilities are run by Flaming Gorge Corporation and offer fantastic lake and mountain scenery. For information and reservations by phone, call Lucerne Valley Marina at (435) 784-3483.
Country Camping RV Park
If you’ve been relaxing in Thermopolis, WY’s, Mineral Hot Springs or Dinosaur Center, there’s nowhere better to spend a night under the starry Wyoming sky than Country Camping RV Park. Country Camping welcomes tents and RVs, not to mention peace, quiet and beautiful views.
Cache Valley
More than 383 campgrounds, 27 parks and many picnic areas are located in Cache Valley and nearby Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. Thanks to the area’s wonderful weather and great trails, Cache County is perfect for all ages and abilities.
Camp Inside the Parks
With a little planning, you can also camp inside Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Reservations are necessary.
Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton operates five campgrounds, each of which costs $12 per night per site. Jenny Lake Campground in Grand Teton is open to tents only with a 7 day maximum while other campgrounds accommodate tents, trailers and recreational vehicles with a 14 day maximum. Grand Teton campgrounds are operated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone campgrounds have a 14 day maximum each and there are 12 to choose from.. Fees range from $10-27, and Yellowstone reservations are accepted at the Bridge Bay, Canyon, Fishing Bridge RV, Grant Village and Madison campgrounds or by calling (307) 344-7311 or (307) 344-5395.
Get a Backcountry Use Permit
If you plan to camp in the backcountry of Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Parks, you’ll need a use permit. The permit is free — unless you want to make a reservation, which costs $20.

Grand Teton reservations are accepted Jan. 1-May 15 by mail or fax — no phone reservations are accepted — or in person at the Moose Visitor Center.
