best tent camping near yellowstone image
Samara
We are a large group. approx 30 people.
We want to be near a river or a lake. Also be able to make fire and grill. Tent only.
Answer
There are lots of places to go, and they ALL fill up quick. We are going to Yellowstone this year, we got reservations in the park for July back in November.
We stayed outside Yosemite in Groveland, at a place called Yosemite Pines RV Park, they did accept tent campers as well. Groveland is just outside a Yosemite entrance.
They did have large groups when we were there plus free WIFI.

I am planning a trip from Washington to North Dakota, does anyone know of any sights to see along the way?

We'll be taking I-90 almost the entire way, so if you know of any sights, or cool, inexpensive restaurants and activities along the way....like in Idaho, Montana, or before Bismark in North Dakota, please let me know! Thanks in advance!
Is there anything in yellowstone by I-90? We don't want to drive more then 30 minutes out of the way. So is northern yellowstone interesting or just trees? The part thats in Montana.
Answer
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is a very beautiful place. I drove through there but didn't stop; I loved the forest and lakes. Western Montana is gorgeous, as well, due to its mountains, magnificent skies and wide-open spaces.
Through Washington, you will be driving through some very interesting country. You will follow the path of the Missoula Floods, and will also see old lava flows (which can be tracked all the way out to the ocean). Look up the scabland geology of eastern Washington, then look around the flat area of Missoula, MT and then up at the steep mountains to see the basin of glacial lake Missoula.
Also, with just a quick detour south you can see Yellowstone National Park. I have been to many natural areas and this is by far the most exciting place I have ever visited. Not the most beautiful, necessarily, but definitely unique. The geysers (Old Faithful), microbial mats at Yellowstone's hotsprings, the mudpots, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and wildlife are what make this park world-famous. Just don't camp there. People do it, but it's bear country, especially in the north of the park. Just this past summer a camper was killed while sleeping in his tent and two others injured by a mama bear.
EDIT: It's an hour from I-90 to Mammoth Hot Springs (ethereal springs cascading over white limestone terraces). And then, it's further to the Canyon area. I don't know of anything 30 mins. south of I-90 near Yellowstone. You really need an entire day (if not more) to see Yellowstone. I guess it's not such a 'quick detour', lol. When you get on I-94 you'll be going straight through Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park. I've not been there, but places are made parks because they are unique, so it's worth checking into. The park's website says you can see badland topography and buffalo.
