Very nice campground, lots of room at the site and restrooms where clean. Only bad part was the 5 mile road to the campsite was very rough and dirt was all over.

This place is a real gem - not far from Yellowstone but relaxing and quiet
@ShannonD253581 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #B3
Good, attentive hosts. Beautiful, treed area with fairly private spots. I was a little disappointed with the lake/pond there as there were signs to not go in the water because it wasn't clean?? Also, we weren't aware that the only dump stations nearby (West Yellowstone) were pay only. Other than that, it was a great stay, and we loved listening to elk bugling in the night.

Very beautiful campsite, crossed the country with some friends from Tennessee to the campsite down the coast of California. This campsite was the peak of our journey!
@BrianP3895634 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #B1
Friendly attentive hosts, quiet spot, clean facilities and great neighbors. A+
@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #C23
We were impressed with the camping sites. There was plenty of room and privacy between sites. The hosts were super nice. One site we had reserved had electrical problems. The hosts got us another site with electricity the same morning. The lake is within easy walking distance. We will be back!

Campground was very clean. The lake nearby is a definite plus. Kids had a great time on kayaks and float tubes as well as digging in the sand. The lake was extremely mossy so I left it to the kids. The space between sites was really nice. No neighbors camping on top of each other. Definitely going again next year.
@MilesM6737243 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #C23
We loved this campground! The spaces were spread out and each one was clean and well just perfect! The wind in the pines was beautiful and we were thrilled to hear the elk calling in the morning!!

Convenient location to Yellowstone National Park, and good facilities. Definitely keep your camp clean and pay attention to all rules about food storage! Otherwise you are putting bears and humans at risk. Visit the Grizzly Wolf and Discovery Center to see a prime example of what happens when campers are careless with their food.

Our site was very roomy. Nice to have electrical hook-up in a Nat'l Forest campground. Close to Yellowstone. Easy walk to the lake. Vault toilets were kept clean.
@JoelO3FD32989D · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #B12
Bathroom was very clean. Campsite clean and fairly private
@MichaelP381919 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #A14
Nice campsite. Each site was plenty big and included a huge bear box. Camp hosts were kind and personable. The road to the campsite is a long dirt road that is rather bumpy, and it was just graded, so the bumps may have been the result of the treads from the grader. The campsite is 20 minutes to the Yellowstone west entrance, then another 40 minutes to a major junction within the park. On a plus, cellular service is strong at rainbow.
@DustinC7739352 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #A1
The campground was nice and clean. I love how close it is to the lake. The sites are well shaded with trees and they are not too close to each other. I would stay there again.
@CarterBC7B9C9B · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #D6
Beautiful place. Pleasant neighbors, and very well taken care of sites. Definitely excited to return.
@KellyR2232633 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #B10
We had B10, Nice, level, shaded and clean spot. More than enough room for the camper and vehicle. Big Plus - electric hook ups! It was pretty warm so being able to use air was great.
@ScottK1111753 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #A2
We really enjoyed our stay at Rainbow Beach campground. It is a very clean, nice and friendly campground. Because of the campground hosts Hillary and Ron, they were fantastic At making us feel welcome and shared, they're much knowledge and information about the area giving us More sources for our vacation camping trip.The restrooms were always clean and nice. It was a quiet campground, and it is so close to so many things to do.
@WadeBC21485E5C · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #D3
Well maintained site and clean toilets.
@MelissaP943882 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #C7
The campground was very nice and well kept. The mosquitoes were awful. They were huge and most bug spray didnt work. They would also bite through your clothes. It was hard to enjoy being outside and swimming in the lake. It is also a ways down a dusty gravel road. I would stay again if the mosquitoes werent so bad.
@KimmieME1A72F7 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #B1
Had to leave early due to too many mosquitoes
@WilliamR509139 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #D1
Not a bad campground. The road leading up to it is rough
@ScottK1111753 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #D14
Ron and Hillary were such wonderful hosts. Everything was excellent. The restrooms were always very clean and sanitary. The hosts were very kind and friendly and helpful. I sure hope that they will be back here next year because we are hoping to return here again next year. This is a very well kept campground the best that we have visited ever.
@BettyZ261D866F · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #C4
I wish there had been a warning about the condition of the road to get to the campground on the "Need to Know" section (or 'Facilities Information') on Recreation.gov. We would not have booked this campground had we known about the AWFUL 2 miles of washboard gravel road. The road shook our 1 1/2 yr old motorhome so bad, it broke one of the mounted TVs, the shower fixture landed in the bottom of the shower, and part of our awning cover fell off. (We didn't know about the awning cover until later and had to have someone drive us back down that road to look for it, with no luck.). We knew there was NO WAY we were going to travel up & down that road to Yellowstone. (We could only go 5 mph.). We left immediately to find another place to camp.
@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #A19
I and my family camped there for 3 nights. I was dissapointed for several reasons. The road leading to Rainbow Point is one and a half miles long of very rough dirt before entering into the campground. Vehicles traveling to Rainbow Point create a lot of dust and when there is a light breeze it blows clouds of dust into the campground. We had to clean the inside of our trailer on a regular basis. The road is so rough that the pictures incased in a glass frame inside our trailer fell on the floor breaking all the glass in the frame. But even worst than the road were the swarms of mosquitos which were present from sun up to sun down. One of our friends who was with us was bitten so much that she became sick and had to remain in the trailer for two days. Would I recommend Rainbow Point CG to friends. Absolutely not.
@CrystalC156474 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #B4
The campground is beautiful and the staff is excellent. The road to get there is AWFUL. Its washboard city so dont expect to drive fast or have everything stay put in your camper. We wont go back because of the road unfortunately
@PaulS8803282 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #C3
There was some uncertainty about the location. I was notified the site was changed, but I got an email 2 days prior to the visit that confirmed the previous location. I was uncertain what to do. I went with the most current information. It turned out OK. The site and amenities were as expected and I enjoyed my stay.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
