best tent camping in yellowstone park 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.

Yellowstone NP is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I don't think you'll be disappointed no matter which campground you choose.
