Yellowstone National Park Fishing Bridge Campground
Established Campground
This developed campground sits on the north shore of Yellowstone Lake and restricts camping to hard-sided RVs only due to grizzly activity — no tents, pop-ups, or soft-sided campers allowed. All 340 sites have full hookups with restrooms, showers, and a camp store nearby. The location puts you within walking distance of the famous Fishing Bridge and thermal features along the lake shore.
Reservations are essential during summer months as this is one of the most popular campgrounds in Yellowstone. The campground typically opens late May and closes in September depending on weather. Expect cool nights even in summer at 7,700 feet elevation, and afternoon thunderstorms are common.
