Yellowstone National Park Grant Village Campground

Grant Village sprawls along Yellowstone Lake’s western shore at 7,800 feet elevation, offering 430 sites for tents and RVs up to 40 feet. The campground features flush toilets, hot showers, coin laundry, and a dump station, with many sites providing lake views through lodgepole pine forest. This is one of Yellowstone’s largest campgrounds, typically less crowded than northern loop options but still requiring reservations during peak season.

Access via Grand Loop Road is paved and suitable for any vehicle, though mountain weather can bring snow even in summer months. Grizzly bears frequent nearby spawning streams in late spring and early summer — follow all food storage regulations strictly. The campground sits near West Thumb Geyser Basin and provides easy access to the park’s southeastern attractions. Evening temperatures drop significantly at this elevation even in July and August.
