  • Check-out time is 11:00 AM.
  • The West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce and the Park Ranger Information Desk located within the Chamber are valuable resources for detailed information regarding Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons and the surrounding area. The Chamber is located just north of the theatre.

RV Park Pet Policies

  • We strive to be a pet-friendly park. Please help us do so by reviewing these pet policies.
  • The pet relief area is conveniently located on the entire eastern border of the park behind Sites 16 to 25 with the entrance and pet waste station located just outside Site 16. Here you will find approximately 1500 square feet of sod and 2200 square feet of graveled area for your pet. Please remember to clean up after your pet.
  • Pets should always be leashed and are welcome to walk the interior roads of the entire park. Please use your best effort possible to lead pets to the pet relief area for elimination. We all realize accidents happen. However, please do not intentionally use other parts of the park for elimination.
  • Pets should be kept under direct supervision and never left outside unattended. Please do not erect or use any type of pet enclosures, fences, stakes or tie out cables.
  • Excessive barkers should never be left in RV’s unattended.
  • Only official service animals are allowed in restrooms and laundry.

RV Park General Policies

  • Each site must be occupied by one RV (defined as motorhome, 5th wheel, travel trailer, pop-up trailer, cab-over truck camper or camper van – management reserves the right to determine if vehicle fits said definition). Limit one sleeping unit per site.
  • Please do not erect any tents, canopies, screen rooms or similar structures.
  • Grassy areas have an underground watering system—please do not penetrate the grass.
  • This is bear country. Keep the park safe by storing all food and items used for food preparation inside. BBQ grills and burners should be stored inside after cooling down. All coolers (empty or full, no matter what the content) should be stored inside at all times. Please do not place BBQ grills directly on the plastic picnic tables.
  • Please park and set up only in your assigned site. Please do not park any motorized vehicles on grass or decks. If additional parking is needed, please call the office at 406-646-4300.
  • West Yellowstone, Montana is at an altitude of 6,667 feet. Freezing temperatures are common in any season. Please use caution as all surfaces could be icy. You are responsible for preventing our faucets from freezing by disconnecting your water hose each night freezing temperatures occur. Failure to disconnect will be subject to reimbursement for any damages which may occur.
  • A city ordinance prohibits campfires, open fires and propane fire pits in the RV park.
  • A sealed sewer connection (such as a sewer elbow) is required by the City of West Yellowstone.
  • For safety reasons, please do not use clotheslines in the park.
  • For the safety of our younger guests, we ask that parents accompany children under 12 using the facilities. Children should use extreme caution when crossing or playing near any park roads.
  • Established quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. No running of generators at any time.
  • Please respect your neighbors by not walking across other campers’ sites.
  • RV wash permits are available at the office for $20. Please help conserve water by using a shut-off nozzle. Please do not wash vehicles which are covered in mud.
