The campground is lovely and shady with trees. Check-in staff are friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Bathrooms are clean and located throughout the different campground loops, so are trash and recycling receptacles. Our only issue was our site. We were assigned a site way too small for our 36ft A Class RV. It was an incredibly tight fit, but we made it work. The poor trees in the pull through were previously scraped, so we were not the first to struggle with their big RVs. There were other areas assigned to just tent camping that would have been better suited for bigger RVs. Luckily my hubby is a masterful RV driver and we did without our awnings and were able to have our slides out, but just barely. The laundromat and showers were within walking distance if you like to walk. We rode our bikes, many people drive. There are 12 shower stalls, bathrooms and sink areas. The laundromat had plenty of washers and dryers of different sizes. Both were clean areas staffed with friendly people. Lisa Decker stood out the most. Always smiling and happy to answer questions.

This is the second time we stayed at Grant Village Campground, this time Loop C. We had a party of 4 and wished each person got a shower coupon, per day (vs. two per day for the site.) The campground has one shower facility and the lines do get long for the women. The sites are fairly big and you are in the trees for shade. There was a fire pit and wood for sale. Each site does not seem to have it's own bear locker, which are required to use. It is a great place for a base to start early morning or late evening adventures. In the area there is also grocery, gas and laundry. My pics are not of the campground itself but the amazing sites in Yellowstone.

I stayed here for 5 nights and used it as my base. The camping ground is very well kept. There is a crew that comes during the day to clean up. Flushing toilets, clean water and dish stations are a plus. You get to shower coupons per day. Hot showers are really good and you can do coin laundry at the same location as well. You can also purchase additional coupons add towels at the laundry location.

I stayed one night at Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone National Park (7/23/25). The campsite was set among tall pine trees, giving it a true camping feel and some extra privacy compared to many RV parks. The site itself was spacious and made it easy to level our 32-foot RV, which isn’t always the case in national park campgrounds. Staff at check-in were helpful and handled everything efficiently. The photos I’ve shared show the site as it was when we arrived—ample space for a large RV, a sturdy picnic table, and a standard fire ring surrounded by forest. While the campground is fairly close to Grant Village and Yellowstone Lake, it still felt quiet, especially in the evening. Grant Village was originally built in the 1980s as part of a park-wide initiative to improve visitor services, and it’s still one of the few areas in the park where you’ll find both modern amenities and access to the lake. I didn’t run into any issues during my stay and can’t think of any real downsides. Overall, this is a solid option for RV travelers who want a wooded setting and decent access to Yellowstone’s southern attractions.

Nice campground right along the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake. Sites are nice and bathrooms are clean. Large campground with 400 sites for tenting up to larger RVs. Showers are available along with laundry. Nearby Grant Village General store for food and supplies etc. Short walk/hike to peaceful lakeshore. Short drive to the West Thumb Geyser Basin.

The bathrooms are lit at night with over 6,000 kelvin daytime 1600+ lumen bright lights that light up the campgrounds in every direction. The light pollution is so bad that it shines directly through the heavy blackout canvas of our rooftop tent. The light is so bad that you can’t see the night sky from the campgrounds. It would be best if the bathrooms complied with the National dark sky association approved lighting and fixtures or at least put the lights on a motion sensor and shields that force the light downward toward the ground. We stayed at every campground run through recreation.gov and all of the bathrooms are the same. Blinding bright lights shining out of every bathroom at night time. Unless you are lucky to camp in a heavily tree area there is no escaping the lights. We didn’t see any camp hosts around to enforce any of the quit time or illegal tree cutting. Fallen trees can be cut for fire wood but it is against the park policy to actively cut down a living tree. This is not a smoke free campground so you could have every single camper surrounding you chain smoking! Yes this happen to us. These campsites appear to cater more to RV campers. We stayed at a lot of different camp sites even the Zero generators allowed camp grounds but the camp hosts didn’t enforce that rule either so we had to suffer through the horrific noise of RV generators at all hours. I thought the point of camping and National parks was to get away from the noise and lights!!

You are going to be crammed on top of the person next to you. You have no choice but to buy their extremely dry and misleading sized firewood. But with 200 people in 400 ft if camping space your always under smoke from someone's fire. The entire campground us asleep or lights out early so plan on it cause if you start a fire or turn on a light your invading at least three people around you. Not a great experience for the park as far as camping disperse is a way better option if camping us a must
