I had an absolutely fantastic experience tent camping at Bridge Bay Campground in Yellowstone National Park over LaborDay weekend! This was our second year staying here, and it just keeps getting better. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting, surrounded by the stunning beauty of nature. One of the highlights for me was the convenience of the facilities. The campground boasts flushing toilets and is just a short drive to the showers at Fishing Bridge, which makes camping far more comfortable. The staff at Bridge Bay truly go above and beyond to ensure that every visitor has an unforgettable stay. Their friendliness and willingness to help create a welcoming environment that enhances the whole camping experience. If you’re looking for a beautiful spot to camp with great amenities and amazing service, I highly recommend Bridge Bay Campground. It's a great place to see wildlife too. We can’t wait to return next year!

This campground was great! There was a lot of space and access to restrooms which was a plus. We were able to set up our site, enjoy a fire and look at the pretty stars. The showers were also great and being able to get a bath towel, mat and washcloth for $1.50 was hard to beat. We were very central to a lot of the attractions in Yellowstone. It probably took approximately 50 minutes to an hour to get to the "popular" things.

Very happy we picked Bridge bay. The camp sites are very private with trees all around. (our site was not very level) We woke up to elk in the field across from our camp. So pretty. The bear boxes were fantastic and put our minds at ease. The bathrooms were very clean. (No hot water tho) also be aware that you will get no service in this campground as in much of Yellowstone.

Bridge Bay Campground was so great! It was right on the Lake and there were wildlife all around us. The firewood at the campgrounds was pretty pricey, but worth it during the very cold night. ($12+/box) The amenities were as described. Restrooms were clean and had flushing toilets. There was soap available to wash our hands and and outdoor spigot to fill for potable water. Bear Boxes and Food Storage boxes were available at every campsite. Plenty of signage to know where to go and also to reconfirm to everyone NOT TO APPROACH THE WILDLIFE! While there we ran into a bunch of Elk and the Elk were screaming at each other for about 4 hours throughout the night..It was WILD! The Lake and Marina are close and were able to see a handful of sites along the road one day and the rest the other on our way out. What a memorable experience we had at Bay Bridge. Thanks for a great experience!

It was a convenient location for us as we had family in the cabins at The Lake Hotel site. Clean bathrooms, large enough site. Fellow campers were respectfully quiet at night. Our stay would have been improved with warm water in the bathroom sinks, on site showers and electric hook up. Having the marina and picnic sites there was handy. Would be so lovely if they had kayak rentals. Food was available at The Lake Hotel dining room - expensive, and small portions. The canteen was more affordable. General stores all had the same products and were overpriced. I would bring more food the next time if I was going again. The park was beautiful and we were very happy and grateful for our experience there.

Me and Yellowstone is five stars the campground however was three stars. They intermingled tents with RVs that were leaving their generators running all night and when you tried to report it to the camp host they refused to answer their door and outside of calling 911 you were left with no options. That being said staying in the park at a campground is the best. The wild life is amazing the park is out of this world one of my favorite places in North America.

We had a great stay at this place. The service at the helping desk is awesome. They were so helpful. We had an advance booking done, though had a bit of shower, we kept all our things in the bear box that was provided. A memorable camping with family.

We camped at Bridge Bay for 4 nights and LOVED it!! We were given site 241 in Loop E and it was a really great spot. We had plenty of room to spread out and had our own bear box. They are working on getting a box at every site which is awesome. It was a short walk to see Yellowstone Lake and the views are spectacular. The bathrooms were really clean and well stocked every day. We saw rangers patrolling the campground often which was nice. A bison and elk visited our campsite every day which was super cool!! There is also a marina at this campground which has a store for ice if you need it. You can buy firewood when you check in for $10 a box. If you are looking for a hike you don't have to drive to, you can walk to the Natural Bridge of Yellowstone. It's a really nice walk to get to, but if you want to go to the top, it's a moderate hike up the mountainside. Overall we really enjoyed our time here at Yellowstone camping here and would definitely come back!

Sites were crowded together, and ours was a wide spot in the road.
