Bridge Bay Campground

Bridge Bay Campground is the largest campground in Yellowstone National Park with 432 sites.

The campground is located near Yellowstone Lake. Right off of the main park loop road, this campground offers great access to a ton of the top things to do in Yellowstone.

One thing to know about Bridge Bay Campground is there are little to no trees within the campground. There is not much shade so you will want to be prepared. We suggest bringing a pop-up table cover or gazebo to have some shade.

If you are visiting during a rainstorm you will want to be prepared for the campsite to potentially flood.

We have seen a lot of reviews of people having elk and bison in their campsites. Just something to be aware of when planning your trip.
