best tent camping at yellowstone image
asia
we are traveling to Yellowstone National Park in mid-June. We will be tent camping for four nights. What are the âbestâ campgrounds in the park? We judge on the following criteria: not crowded; private; best scenery; close to areas of interest; wildlife, etc...
if you have any pictures from your stays, that would be very helpful!
also - we are montana natives and will be coming from Missoula, so we are looking for the more northern campsites.
Answer
Camping in the park during June is going to be *very* crowded. Unless you hike into back country sites. That is the only way you are going to get a un-crowded and private campground in the park... you will probably get the best views in those areas too.
If I was you - I would camp outside the park in one of the National Forests - you will be really close to the park for trips into the park - but far more secluded - and the scenery in those areas are just as good (or better even) than at the campgrounds in the park - and they cost less to stay at...
Two of my favorite campgrounds in the area are: Fox Creek and Crazy Creek.... Beartooth Lake is just AMAZING - but is a little further away from the park - may have a couple people at the campground as well.... but you will have by far the best view I have ever seen at a campground in the area.

I want to know which state would be better to camp in, in the Summer, between Wyoming and Montana?

I and my friends want to know which of the two states between Montana and Wyoming would be better to camp in? Which has a better experience with getting away from everything and going fishing, swimming, and experiencing wild life. And what are some good places in the state to go tent camping and have little to no contact with other people. I want to go enjoy myself with my friends and have a good time.
Answer
Both are good. If you want to have lots of potential of camping with wildlife, then Yellowstone Park http://www.nps.gov/yell/ in Wyoming would be best - but tent camping is highly regulated there. Montana has Glacier http://www.nps.gov/glac/, several large "wilderness areas" http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/cda/wilderness.shtml, many BLM and Forest Service camps http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundSearchResult.do?topTabIndex=CampingSpot, and some state parks http://fwp.mt.gov/lands/searchparks.aspx.
