It can be overwhelming to choose a campground in Yellowstone National Park, because each one offers something that you’ll want to see up close. If you’re looking for a centrally located site with beautiful views and up-close wildlife encounters, try Bridge Bay. Not only is it the largest campground in the park, but it’s right on Yellowstone Lake!

Bridge Bay is the largest campground in Yellowstone, and with more than 430 sites, it’s often more populated than most of Wyoming’s small towns.
