Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North

This was a very nice campground with beautiful views of the town and mountains at the north end of Yellowstone. We found the staff friendly and helpful, although they do strictly close and lock the gates at 8:00.

Very close to the North entrance of Yellowstone, its a self-contained RV and small cabins park, so nothing too special. Clean bathrooms, nice showers, but they are down the big hill, so if you have an RV not super close. Check in and out was pretty easy, check out is fairly early, but it is close to shops and amenities. Full hookups at sites.

We had a great view of the river and downtown from our site as we were on the end. It is a steep hill getting up into the park, but we managed. Easy to get into and out of. Very quiet park. Friendly and accommodating staff. Minutes from the North entrance of Yellowstone and downtown Gardiner. Stayed 4 days and loved exploring Yellowstone from here. Laundry facilities very clean. Had visits from local wildlife (elk and deer).

This is the closest RV park to the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park, about fifteen minutes from the Mammoth Hot Springs. Our site was a pretty average full hookup site with distant mountain views. The park also has a number of cabins.

There is a large laundry facility on site along with restrooms and showers. The campground also has a gift/souvenir shop with a little convenience store. There is a little fenced-in leash free area for dogs, the park itself is not the greatest place for walking a dog.

The location is in the center of the town of Gardiner, with a full grocery store nearby, as well as shops and restaurants. Aside from being minutes away from the park entrance, the Yellowstone Association office is just blocks away. This non-profit focuses on education and sells educational materials and their volunteers can provide information about Yellowstone National Park.

There is also a Visitor Center at Mammoth Springs. On route to Mammoth Springs, there is an area where big-horned sheep are frequently seen. Yellowstone is a huge park and there is no location that is close to everything, even within the park. Lamar Valley, one of two areas where wolves reside, is about an hour and twenty minutes away.

This is in a great location for visiting Gardiner and it's right at the north entrance to Yellowstone. But the sites are really close together, and they charge a "kid tax". Kid tax is what we fulltime RV'ing families call it when an RV park charges extra for kids. Hotels do not charge extra for our kids to be in the room with us so it makes no sense for RV parks to charge extra for our kids to be in our RV. Plus my parents joined us for part of the week and it was extra for them to stay in our RV also. That made this park very expensive and considering how close we were to our neighbor, we just didn't think it was worth $70 a night. But, the location was where we wanted to be so it worked out. If we're in the area again though, we would probably look for some place else that doesn't charge extra for kids. Verizon 4G coverage was good here.

Beautiful view. Friendly staff. CLEAN laundry room and bath/shower facility. Level sites. Walking distance to town(about 6-8 min). Adorable camp store.

Sites and park very clean, neat and tidy. GREAT location for visiting Yellowstone National Park.

$59 is the nightly rate--don't forget to add "kid tax", $4/each! This is a STANDARD site, not deluxe. You can do a load of laundry in a small washing machine for $3. Then dry it (maybe get it dry) for $2. Tiny mini putt course available for free (what, no extra charge?)

Sites so tight you have to walk through your neighbors "front yard" while they are sitting there in order to plug in or hook up water.

LOTS of rules! Don't know how much some of them are really enforced ("Check out time 10:30-NO EXCEPTIONS!") No campfires, though there really isn't room for a fire ring anyway. Patrolled, but that's a good thing.

Neighborhood with apartments and single fam homes next to park has vehicles coming and going on gravel all times of day/night. Many bright lights from homes detracts from the outstanding dark night sky.

Great location for North gate entrance to Yellowstone. Saw elk in parking lot across from trailer two days. The park is dark at night so stargazing is excellent. Site was level w/separate parking spot directly across from trailer.

I’ve been here a couple of hours. So far the barking dogs and unsupervised kids suck. I plan to be away from here most of the day. I’m already not looking forward to returning after my day in Yellowstone.

The camp was average. It had showers and toilets. That’s it. No campsites had fire pits. You’re camping and your not allowed to have a campfire. There supposedly an area for a community campfire but because of COVID that was not happening. Also they supposedly have a mini golf course but that to was closed because of COVID.
There was nothing to do at the campground. I would never bring kids here because they would be so bored and it also costs extra to have your kids here. Rarely did I see people sitting outside their camper. If people were at their site they would sit in their campers.
You were not allowed to leave anything outside the camper because it might interfere with the grass cutting. The awning must be closed when you leave the park for the day otherwise they will call you to come and close it (didn’t happen to us but we’re told about it by the owner). The sprinklers still go on at 4am everyday we were there. The AC in the bathrooms was set so high that if someone takes a shower it becomes a steam bath in there.
The owners were a very sarcastic older couple. They had a cocky answer for everything. I think they were trying to funny. I’m a very sarcastic person but I’m not that way with people I don’t know.
The nicest thing about the campground is the proximity to Yellowstone National Park. I guess that why the rates are so high for what you get.
