RV Rentals Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park, WY, United States
How to get to Yellowstone National Park
The nearest gateway towns are West Yellowstone, Montana (West Entrance), Gardiner, Montana (North Entrance), Cooke City, Montana (Northeast Entrance), Cody, Wyoming (East Entrance, about 52 miles to the entrance), and Jackson, Wyoming (South Entrance, about 57 miles via Grand Teton). Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Montana is the most common fly-and-rent airport, roughly 90 miles from the West Entrance. RV drivers should prepare for steep grades and switchbacks on Dunraven Pass, Sylvan Pass on the East Entrance road, and the climb over Craig Pass near Old Faithful, plus sustained high-elevation driving above 7,000 feet. Expect delays of up to 30 minutes due to road improvement projects, and check road alerts before departure since closures can occur without notice.
Best time to visit Yellowstone National Park
Late June through early September brings the warmest weather, the broadest access to interior roads, and full campground openings, making it the prime window for RV travel. July and August see the largest crowds at Old Faithful and Lamar Valley, so shoulder periods in late May, early June, and September offer thinner traffic and strong wildlife viewing. Because most of Yellowstone lies at 6,000 feet or higher, unpredictability characterizes the park's weather, with big temperature swings, rain, or snow possible during every month of the year. RVers should plan for cold overnight lows even in summer.

Things to do at Yellowstone National Park
- Old Faithful and Upper Geyser Basin EasyRV parking available
Old Faithful is Yellowstone's most famous geyser and the centerpiece of the Upper Geyser Basin, which holds the largest concentration of active geysers on Earth. Boardwalks loop past Castle, Grand, and Riverside geysers from the main visitor complex. The Old Faithful Visitor Education Center features exhibits on hydrothermal features, life in extreme environments, volcanic geology, and scientific investigations of these phenomena. nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/exploreoldfaithful.htm
- Grand Prismatic Spring and Midway Geyser Basin Easy
Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States and is known for its vivid rainbow bands of microbial color. A boardwalk at Midway Geyser Basin circles the spring, while a short hike climbs to an elevated overlook. The overlook trail gradually climbs 105 feet over 0.6 miles from the Fairy Falls Trailhead, where parking is very limited. nps.gov/thingstodo/yell-trail-grand-prismatic-overlook.htm
- Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone EasyRV parking available
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a 20-mile-long, 1,000-foot-deep canyon carved by the Yellowstone River and capped by the 308-foot Lower Falls.

Larger pullouts accommodate RVs, with overflow lots near Canyon Village. nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/canyoncg.htm
