Excellent sites, picnic tables, fire rings, electrical hookups. No water at site, they are water hydrant in the loops. No dump station or showers. Do have restrooms. Very nice hiking trail at back of park. River runs through the back of the park, trout fishing is available in the area but you must bring your own equipment and have valid license. No cell service because you have mountains on all 4 sides of you.

Very well maintained campground. Vault toilet the cleanest I've ever seen. Each site is nicely screened from the view of neighbors. Would definitely visit again.

Fire ran us out at 9:00 PM.

@EricG3571303 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #4

The grounds and pit toilet area were clean. The walking bridge and trails were enjoyable.

@DanielM5313297 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #36

Peaceful and quiet. It was great to get to stop over here on our way to Yellowstone.

@GrahamL6910E65 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #11

The one pit toilet in the electric section was unusable. I complained to Rangers, but nothing was done while we were there. Also, a ranger woke us up on first morning stating we needed to pay. We had already paid, and had proof. He was quite belligerent. Would not stay there again. 7th

Very peaceful and quiet campground! Clean restrooms.

@RobnaWD35AF130 · Camped on Jun 8, 2024 at Campsite #19

Loved it here! Bathrooms close. Very clean! We sat and watched the mountain goats on the mountains across the river for hours. Hike right out of the campground was beautiful too.

@LindaZ99F1248B · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #5

Very peaceful and quiet campground. Clean and well-lit restrooms! Good location while visiting Yellowstone or Cody, Wyoming.

@JoeA9101109 · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #9

Great campground. Very nicely kept. The park host was extremely helpful and kind. Btw there is a freshwater fill just beyond the sign in area. My only complaint is I wish you would provide firewood for sale at this campground.

@RandyCD50AAB44 · Camped on Oct 9, 2023 at Campsite #9

Bring your camera. Stunning fall photo ops. Unfortunately only stayed one night, but will definitely return for hiking and wildlife viewing.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Sep 30, 2023 at Campsite #22

Evergreens provide privacy between many of the sites. Quit area situated in a canyon. No bears seen by us in early October.

@DanielleHAF02F · Camped on Sep 23, 2023 at Campsite #16

Beautiful, clean, and peaceful campground. Very nice camp host. Campsites are spaced nicely. One of our favorites, we will be back

@SusanP9360D29C · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #5

We only stayed at Wapiti for one night on our way to YNP. Not many services provided and small sites. No frills for sure

@Roseb1813326 · Camped on Sep 7, 2023 at Campsite #11

Clean bathrooms. Well maintained camping spot

@PauleB8F577881 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #21

Calm and quiet

@sandrae2740691 · Camped on Aug 19, 2023 at Campsite #9

This is a lovely campground on the river with trees and views of mountains and rock cliffs. We stayed in one of the electric sites. There is a bridge over the river and a trail from the campground that looked amazing, but we didn't have time to really explore it. The bathrooms were clean and the camp host was friendly and helpful. You have to drive east about 7 miles to get any cell service, but this is a great place to get off the grid.

@TammyR4052021 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #37

The camp host Sylvia was awesome and so very nice. Loved the campground. We will be back.

@KarinaN1C5D23B · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #11

This was our maiden voyage in our new RV and our first reservation.gov campground experience. The campground is situated in trees away from the road, so the road noise isn't very apparent. It also has lovely views of the rocks above the river. I was expecting that the river would be easier to access from the sites, but one had to either bushwhack through bushes, or walk down the road to the fishing access area where there is a great walking bridge over the river. The host was also very friendly and informative. The only issue that we had was that there was a swampy area directly behind our campsite and so at night the mosquitoes were plentiful and fierce. We had to put on a lot of bug spray in order to sit outside. Other sites away from the swampy area might be less buggy. Since we have a hard sided vehicle and don't really need RV hook-ups every night, we might explore some of the campgrounds closer to Yellowstone Park next year.

The campsite #21 was great. Liked the park so much stayed an additional 12 days first come. First serve #35. The sites were large and private.Kudos to the campground host. The cleanest vault toilets I have ever used. Thank you Wapiti Host and rangers for a well kept campground.

@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!!!
