Carbella Recreation Site

We just loved being here over the last 2 weeks! We arrived to Carbella while the area was still a bit busy but found a few sites we could have fit in. It wouldn't have been hard, the sites are less than defined. A few had picnic tables and fire rings but most were just "pull-over" type sites. I realize that other reviewers were a bit t... more

We were all very excited pulling into this site. We had found a great spot just next to the Yellowstone river. I was so excited in fact that I disconnected our fifth wheel and then proceeded to pull away WITHOUT first dropping the landing gear. This location is THAT great. So yes, that damped my experience and I blame this beautiful ca... more

Great location, has a toilet. Heaps of space. Just up the road is a local's secret - great place to view grizzly bears!

Easy to find campsite. Great views. No hassle with getting in or finding it after dark.

Got good att signal on the road leading up, but it isn’t open yet. Wish I knew when it did.

We stayed 2 weeks in August. I found that other reviews were accurate, but if you take it slow getting in & out, you won't have any problems with the rocks. They are well rounded and no sharp edges. We met other Campendium members while there, and had a great time.

We stayed at Carbella in late July. We arrived on a Thursday and had no trouble finding a space. The sites run along Yellowstone River and most have a fire ring and picnic table. The spaces are very rocky but we just took it slow and had no problems. When we arrived, there were 4 other campers and still plenty of room for several m... more

Easy access by dirt road, sites are parallel to the river and some under trees, most of these spaces have picnic tables and a fire ring. The north side is accessed via a dirt track but the south side is across a rocky field though that didn't deter travel trailers and 5th wheels. AT&T 2 bars to non existent, the iPhone 6+ got enough... more

We found this area by using the GPS listed on Campendium. If you look on Google Maps, there is a "Carbella Campground" on the map, but this is not the right location. Follow the GPS on Campendium. First, you cross over a cattle guard and you'll see the Carbella sign. The road is fine but it does get BUMPY on the way in and there ar... more

We were leaving Yellowstone (north entrance) just before dark and all of the campgrounds were full (well, we didn't bother checking the $50/night sites...). This was a lucky find, and worked out just fine. The road in is awful and bumpy and graveling, but we made it pulling a 1959 camper. It was pretty full, but we still found a nice s... more
