Rocky Mountain RV Park & Lodging

We arrived on a Monday afternoon in October and waited shortly while the people ahead of us were to be escorted to their site and then we were escorted up to the premium sites. If you want some grass and room reserve one of those. The other sites below are much smaller and good for an overnight stay, but they are closer to the laundry and restrooms. As for traffic noise, you hear none of it up here and it’s an easy walk to town to the post office or grocery story if you don’t mind one short hill. If you love seeing Elk then this is the place to be. We had cow elk resting in the grass right outside our trailer door and the bull was fairly close by. Amazing. The cable was strong and so was the WiFi. This is an excellent place to use as a base to do the whole Yellowstone thing. We will be back.

Campsite is clean and well maintained. Staff are courteous and accommodating. We found it to be a great place to stay at the northern entrance to Yellowstone. We could quickly access the entire park from this location. It was so good we added 2 extra days to our stay and would have taken another if it had been available. Full hookups, good WiFi and cable. The only downside was having to make an appointment for laundry. However the laundry was clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back!

We pulled into this park exhausted and ready to take anything as everything was booked. We were going to stay a couple nights but were sooooooooooooo glad we didn't. The site they gave us was the SMALLEST we have ever been in. The sewer connection for our neighbor was actually UNDER our picnic table. We couldn't believe it. We have full hookups but didn't even stay long enough to dump the next morning we just wanted to get out of there. They have so many rules and regulations it's ridiculous! The laundry facilities was unavailable except by appointment. Check in was ok but we were a little nervous about the guy writing down all of our credit card information outside of the office. I checked later to verify that they would shred it and the gal said they would. The "dog park" was quite a ways away and that is the ONLY place they want dogs to do their business. They don't want you to tie your dog to ANYTHING that they own not even the picnic table. Also you cannot put a grill on the picnic table unless you get a grill pad from them and they charge you for that. They do not allow you to leave ANYTHING outside because they run sprinklers at night? No lawn chairs, nothing. I would not stay here again if you paid me.

Despite other reviews, we had a very pleasant time staying here. Camp hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Campgrounds were very clean and we had no issues. Even being close to Our neighbors, we had no issues and everyone was pleasant. We even had a few elk come visit us the 2nd night we were there. Dog park was nice and clean.

Gardiner was a nice little town to visit.

We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.
