Bridge Bay Campground

Near Yellowstone Lake

There are flush toilets here! No showers - but the other is enough for me. (I have done my time squatting and would rather not.) We were in a tent only section - Loop F. It was one of the better ones from what I could see. We had more trees and could actually see the lake from our site.

There are bear boxes at each site. These are easy to use and require no locks. If you leave anything out there well be a camp manager by who well write you either a warning or a ticket.

Unique Quality: We were on a buffalo path and one decided to wander though out camp site as we were doing breakfast. The day before there was a coyote go through. You can see pictures of the buffalo going though our camp on my page under the travel log 'Visitor'.

Bring your own wood if possible. What they are selling in the campgrounds right now is sappy! You cannot get a hot fire out of it.

We were really lucky and had great neighbors. There was one incident where the neighbor's kid got a hold of the bear spray and shot it in their eyes. The rangers escorted them to the local medical clinic for help. As they had to leave in a hurry, we stayed to make sure the camp people had gotten the word that this camp site had been left, with so much stuff out, because of an emergency so they did not get a ticket. When they came by, they had not gotten the word and we stopped them from getting a ticket and helped to load the bear box at that point with what they had left out.
