Bridge Bay Campground Details
Located near Bridge Bay Marina on the western shore of Yellowstone Lake, Bridge Bay Campground is a favorite for boaters and anglers who want to stay close to the water. Set at 7,800 feet in elevation, the campground offers a mix of open meadow sites in the lower loops and more shaded, wooded sites in the upper loops. Some campsites have distant views of the lake, and the setting blends forest, meadow, and big sky scenery. The campground features more than 400 regular sites and four group sites, with options for tents, RVs, combination RV and tent setups, ADA sites, and walk in sites for hikers and cyclists. RVs up to 40 feet can be accommodated in select pull through and back in sites, though hookups are not available. Campers should be prepared for uneven terrain and limited space for oversized rigs. Amenities include multiple comfort stations with flush toilets and cold running water, dishwashing stations in most restroom buildings, a dump station, and a recycling area. There are no electrical, water, or sewer hookups at individual sites, and showers are not available on site. The nearest showers and laundry facilities are located at Fishing Bridge RV Park. Internet service is not available in the campground and cell coverage is limited. The campground operates from mid-May to mid-September, with a limited number of first come, first served sites available from. Dates are subject to change.
