Red Rock Pass Dispersed Camping

Very nice boondocking spot, easy access, level enough. Has some trees for shade but still good sun coverage for solar panels. Got firepit in the site but was not able to use as no campfire allowed during our stay. We got a Motorhome Class A towing a Jeep. No issue on parking big rig here. It does get busy on weekends as there are many ATV riders going through the site.
Stayed here while exploring Yellowstone National Park. It is 25 minutes away from west entrance. West Yellowstone town is near enough for groceries, souvenir shopping or dine in restaurants.
Cell signal is decent but gets very slow on weekends.

Amazing space once we found it. Passed it on the way in and drove on a very bumpy and road until we gave up——and then saw it right off the road on our way out. Beautiful, peaceful meadow with shade during the summer. There was a bear and a missed sighting there earlier that day, so definitely keep your pets leashed and supervised.
Such a lovely spot—and we felt like idiots for driving right by it.

Free public land that allows you to stay up to 14 days. You can set up camp just about anywhere, but there is semi-tall grass on much of the land. There are several cleared dispersed parking sites along Red Rock Pass Rd on the left side when heading N/W. Several sites have fire pits and dirt/gravel. Red Rock Pass Rd is paved with no steep inclines; however, some of the sites and access roads are better suited for higher clearance. We had a motorcycle on a hitch parallel to the truck tailgate and a 20’ travel trailer. We scraped the motorcycle hitch pretty bad, but it has a very low clearance.

There is a convenient store about 8 minutes down the road from this site. And, the site is 20 minutes from the west gate of Yellowstone and it’s little town with shops and restaurants.

There’s also BLM land further down Red Rock Pass Rd which backs up to the south rim of Henry’s Lake. There are several sites, a boat ramp, and a vault toilet here. To get there you have to turn right on the gravel road directly after Red Rock RV Park (there’s a sign staying it’s to the south rim of the lake). The gravel road is a few miles long and has a some mild inclines.

Henry’s Lake State Park is about 8 minutes away and you can pay $5 for a day pass, and then take showers, use RV dump, and get water.

This is a great free spot with an easy drive to Yellowstone. We arrived on a Sunday and the area was already almost full. I was expecting it to clear out by Monday but everyone stayed. You can drive up and down the road and probably find a location to squeeze in if needed. We were able to get the last open spot and had plenty of room for our 43' fifth wheel. It was a little muddy and could get slippery if there is more rain. It didn't cause us any problems but got the fifth wheel and truck very dirty.

We were able to get 6Mbps download with AT&T and a little less with T-Mobile. The throughput was low but was enough to stream TV although it was grainy. AT&T proved to be a little more reliable than T-Mobile. Phone calls were fine.

We pulled in late & parked pretty close to the road in an open field next to a fire ring. We could see more spots in the road but since it was late, we didn’t see any other campers (Mon night) & the road seemed quiet we just set up in a convenient spot for a small fire.

It was a bit windy but easily blocked by the van. We heard quiet a few animal noises through the night (cows mooing, elk bleeting, raccoons climbed on top of our van in the middle of the night) but very little road traffic & didn’t even notice another RV in the woods several hundred feet away until we left.

There are LOTS of places to camp here & further down the road if you’re so inclined. Easy access, good cell reception. We showered at the nearby State Park for $3/each- hot & private but crappy nozzles.

We stayed here 4 nights. It was close to Yellowstone. Most people park right off the main road but if you make a left after all those RVs (you will see a bunch of electrical boxes with a square fence surrounding it - it's slightly hidden but this is the best indicator I can give you) there is a dirt road the leads past all the electrical boxes and there are a ton of private very pretty campsites hidden back there. My only complaint is that we parked too close to the road and the cows would come by everyday and poop everywhere. I wish I had known about those hidden campsites in the back before we unhitched and setup.
