The Bridge Bay Campground is perfect for a stay in Yellowstone. We especially love the upper loops as they are in the trees and are ideal for sitting back and relaxing in the outdoors. The nightly programs during the summer months are a lot of fun for the whole family. We like this campground because it's fairly central to the... More

We booked a campground on Loop F facing the auditorium for five nights. The campground had space for a medium sized (4 man) tent. The area had a paved parking space for our car, a shared bear locker, picnic table and fire pit. Loop E and F are both very well appointed and are close to Yellowstone Lake. The restrooms... More

The largest campgrounds in Yellowstone National Park, including Bridge Bay, are managed by a private company (Zanterra) sp? and are noisy, expensive and overpriced. The queue for checking in to the campground was ridiculously long. The staff were friendly, but clearly they need more staff. And their computerized reservation system is farked- Bridge Bay is the largest campground in Yellowstone... More

Nice campground smack dab in the center of the enormous Yellowstone national park. We stayed in the J loop and had it to ourselves. Lots of trees, lots of space, and very scenic. We came after the end of the peak season so the campground was not very full. We were not disappointed with the scenery as well as the... More

Bridge Bay is handy since I can always get a reservation online even at the last minute. Plus, it is near Hayden and Pelican valleys for wildlife potential. The registration personnel are extremely friendly and helpful. They take cancellations before 11am of your night reservation. The easy trail to Natural Bridge is right out of the campground and a delightful... More

We spent two nights there in the end of July. The camping is very spacious, very nice view, located near the Yellowstone lake. The campground is located in a good location and can be reserved (G loop). You can buy wood for fire and have a nice BBQ there. The campground was clean and there was no noise from neighboring...

We spent 4 nights in F loop in late July. The camp site was fine and well maintained. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen in a campsite. They even had a dish washing station which was very helpful. We rented the largest site available (F Loop) and privacy was ok, not great, but for Yellowstone it was... More

I gave this campground two points. Once because it's located inside Yellowstone. One because you are able to make reservations ahead of time. Our campsite was located in a field so close to the next site we heard their intimate campfire conversations. Our water souce by the bathhouse was falling down with orange construction plastic wrapped around it. Staff do... More

My girlfriend and I along with my dog stayed at Bridge Bay Campground from August 11 to 15. This was our first camping trip as well as the visit to Yellowstone. We arrived about 45 minutes early and had to wait to make sure our campsite would be ready. I decided to drive through the front part of the campground,... More

Wonderful value with large spaces that accommodate almost any size tent/rv. Very shaded and secluded and one of the quietist campgrounds I've ever stayed at. The only real drawback was that they didn't have shower and laundry there and you kind of had to drive a bit to get to them. Wonderful campground for a quiet trip with the kids.
