Fishing Bridge RV Park

Fishing Bridge RV Park is the only campground inside Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming with full water, sewer and electric hookups. It sits near the northern shore of Yellowstone Lake on the park's east side, where the Yellowstone River leaves the lake, and it is built like a proper RV park: 310 hard-sided-only sites, a registration building, public showers, coin laundry, a general store, a dump station and potable water. It suits big rigs and anyone who needs shore power and a sewer connection inside the park.

Why RVers stay here

Fishing Bridge RV Park is the only campground inside Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming with full water, sewer and electric hookups. It sits near the northern shore of Yellowstone Lake on the park's east side, where the Yellowstone River leaves the lake, and it is built like a proper RV park: 310 hard-sided-only sites, a registration building, public showers, coin laundry, a general store, a dump station and potable water. It suits big rigs and anyone who needs shore power and a sewer connection inside the park.

Practically, every site has 30/50-amp electric, water and sewer. The renovated upper loop has 172 paved sites from 40 to 95 feet combined; the lower loop has gravel back-ins for 30 to 35 feet. Enter your combined RV-plus-towed length accurately, because it decides which loop you are eligible for. The 2026 rate is $94 plus tax with no Access or Senior discount, bookable through Yellowstone National Park Lodges for stays May 8 through October 17; from 2027 reservations move to Recreation.gov. The trade-off is atmosphere and price: it reads like a paved commercial park, costs more than double the dry campgrounds, and because of grizzly activity tents, pop-ups and any soft-sided rig are barred.

  • The only full hookups in Yellowstone: 30/50-amp, water and sewer at every site

  • Public showers, coin laundry, a general store and a dump station on site
  • Walking distance to the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center and Yellowstone Lake; Hayden Valley wildlife is a short drive
  • No length-of-stay limit, so it works as a multi-night hub or a mid-trip reset
  • !Hard-sided RVs only because of grizzly activity; no tents, pop-ups, hybrids or canvas of any kind
  • !$94 plus tax in 2026, more than double the concessioner dry campgrounds
  • !Feels like a paved commercial park; limited cell service and no campground internet

Our verdict

Book Fishing Bridge if you run a big rig or need shore power, sewer, showers and laundry inside Yellowstone. Skip it if you are in a soft-sided rig, want a natural forest campground, or are watching the budget; the dry campgrounds are cheaper and more atmospheric.
