Grant Campground

This was a very lucky last minute stay, the NP people at the campground are wonderful and so helpful. Great spot for access to the park, level, no bugs, good size for 1 tent. Very close to the neighboring spots, you could here everything everyone is saying and few were following quiet hour rules. The talking and partying didn’t stop until 11:30.

Very Tight sites with large camping areas. But in a lot of sites (like ours) your campfire ring and picnic table are not on the passenger side of your rig. We had a pull through with everything on the drivers side of the rig. Some folks tried u-turns and even drive down the one way streets the wrong way to get their rigs situated so everything would be on the campside of the rig (watched a trailer broadside a pine tree attempting this also). Dump with fresh water nearby. Gas station and small convenience store also. Generator hours were 0800-2200 for national park service approved generators.

We loved staying here, we lucked out on a longer back-in site that backed up to Yellowstone lake that was very private. This campground is not big rig friendly. We are just under 33ft and fit but I would not recommend anything larger. All sites are boondocking so there are no amenities. There is a dump station near the entrance and potable water fill up. There are also bathrooms and dishwashing stations. Showers were not currently open due to COVID but laundry was.
The campground has many trees so our rooftop solar only saw the sun for about 1hr a day. Luckily we have a portable panel to help a little. But I would recommend that you bring an inverter generator or solar generator if you need it. Generator hours are a strict 8am-8pm.
We did have phone coverage(Calls) but not internet. Our phones would say LTE but wouldn’t have any luck sending out texts unless our phones said 3G. While staying in the park we saw elk and coyote.
Our nightly rate was based off having an interagency access pass.

We stayed one night here. The pro is that it’s so centrally located in the park and has amenities like a small market and gas station. Some sites (not all) have food storage boxes, but I suppose you have to know that when booking or checking in.

Unfortunately, the cons were a bit of a longer list. The sites are all packed together. Our site was supposed to fit two tents but that would be very difficult without spilling into someone else’s site. The tent sites weren’t level either. The shower facilities are closed due to COVID. They also charge $9 for a box of firewood.

While this wouldn’t be one I’m drawn back to, I would stay here if in the park again.

This was a packed national park campground that we would not stay at again. Considering we had just been boondocking with a few other people for two weeks, this was a huge shock to the system. We considered going to find a boondocking site outside of the park but didn't want to forfeit our reservation fees we had already paid. Yellowstone is so large that driving into the park wouldn't really have made a big difference from staying inside it.

There are huge loops with many sites per loop. You have no privacy and are surrounded by loud neighbors. The air was filled with smoke from the countless campfires that burned most of the night. Granted, we were there in peak season.

There are amenities that were nice, a dish washing station, gas station and general store, right down the street.

I wouldn't stay here again just because this is not my idea of rving.

The wife and I decided to take a last minute vacation to yellowstone. Called for a reservation the day before we were going to leave, grant was the only place she was able to get us, but for Sunday, Monday then Wednesday and Thursday, so we would have had to pack it up and leave for one day. When checking in I asked if there wss anyway I can get a spot for Tuesday night and with a few punches on the computer the manager said your all set up for 5 nights in the same site. Then he said that he will apply our second deposit we made towards the bill, we pulled our camper in and it was right next to the lake with a beautiful view, great service, clean campground, will stay there again🤗

I had a tight spot for my T@b and it was a tricky site to back into because of the angle, but it worked.

What I liked:

• Quiet campground
• Close to lakeshore
• Reservable and many sites
• Showers, laundry, general store, gas stations, including LP refill

What could have been better:

• Too many campfires made it smell like a forest fire
• Tight site, difficult back in angle
• Not much of a view
• Bathrooms need more frequent cleaning when at capacity

Actual stay August 22, 3 nights. Price is $29, with senior pass we paid $14.50 per night. Our 29 ft travel trailer was a tight fit. The campsite has a fire pit and picnic table. The campground has a dump station and potable water near the check in area. No hookups, dry camping. 2 showers were included each night stay. Laundry facilities are near by. Forget about fishing in Yellowstone, regulations are rigid and not worth the hassle.

This campground is another template of the villages and campgrounds throughout Yellowstone. All have the same general stores with the same groceries and souvenirs, the same gas stations, and the same campgrounds. They are all nicely done with architecture that blends in with the forest surroundings and provide amenities to make the stay comfortable and a good experience.

Grant campground and village closes mid-September, so we chose it in part because it would be open while we were there. It also backs up to Yellowstone Lake and there is a beautiful walking trail that winds at the edge of the campground along the lake. There is also a well-appointed visitor center with friendly and helpful rangers.

The campground itself is a pretty typically campground with close spaces that have a few tall pines for separation. Each site is complete with a picnic bench and fire pit. There are no hook-ups, but there is a dump station with potable water at the exit.

This was a great spot to camp in the middle of the park and we enjoyed our time here.
