Great hard sided camp ground just a mile out side Cooke City. Convenient to bars, restaurants and a small general store. 3 miles further towards Yellowstone in Silvergate you can get Great Ice Cream! Very convenient to the NE gate into Yellowstone. Only $10 per night with senior pass. If you are over 62 ask at the park gate.

Love it here. Close to Yellowstone National Park. Water potable, pit toilets. Clean park , nice sites not too close to another. No tents or pop up campers. Bear country

This was one of our favorite spots that we camped during our Sept '23 roadtrip through Montana and Wyoming. It is pretty remote and bears frequent the area. there are boxes so be bear aware and maybe read up on the bear attack history BEFORE you go, not the first night right before bed hahah It was a lovely campground and we will definitely go back! In '23 when we were there, the nightly fee was $20, paid at a self service station.

Gorgeous, well spaced camp sites with fire pits, picnic tables and bear boxes. Vault toilet was a little ripe when we were here, but that's all part of the game! Triple mask up, it helps lol! Very pretty campground. Be bear aware!

Giving it only one star because the mosquitoes were absolutely horrendous. I'm from FL were mosquitoes are part of our everyday, but I have NEVER in my life experienced mosquitoes like we did at this campsite. They were so bad hat we stayed in our camper the entire time. Roger, the campground host was such a nice guy! The mosquitoes issue needs to be addressed before I would ever recommend this place to anyone. Other than that, nice campground. Nicely spaced sites, overall clean.

Lovely little campground with the most helpful hosts and clean vault toilets! The hosts helped us locate a more level available site for our camper van. Just outside Yellowstone entrance and near a cool little Montana town too!!

My husband and I stayed at this campground last summer when we visited Yellowstone .The host was very pleasant and friendly and explained the campground rules to us very clearly . Very glad we followed those rules to a T as we had a bear come close to camp and we did not know it til we got home and I looked at my pics . Thats when i saw a black bear standing in tree line looking right at me taking the pics of our campsite .Then gone in next pic of same tree line. My eyesight is bad and I did not see him til I zoomed in on pics at home . Was very cool and very scarey to camp sooo close to any bears . I would like to camp there again .

Hardsided vehicles only and with good reason! Bears frequent this area! Even though it is very close to Yellowstone National Park, Soda Butte Campground is a complete change from the hustle and bustle of the majority of the park. The campground is very very quiet, even though generators are allowed, because of the spacing you can hardly tell when someone starts theirs up. The surrounding vegitation is so thick that it feels as if the forest is trying to swallow up the campground. The campground hosts were very pleasant and we visited with them almost every day. They really do care about cleanliness and safety of the guests. The toilet areas were very clean. :) On our second night some campers heard grunting and rustling in the brush near their rv and we had a large animal smack the side of our trailer so hard it sounded like the door was being slammed. We later discovered evidence that something had been rooting around our firewood and pulled out a firestarter stick and tasted it!The next night a lady saw a bear walk into their camp and put it paws on the picnic table. Because of the extreme cleanliness of the camp my feeling is that the bears typically just pass through, but it sure added to the adventure!
