Rex Hale Campground is highly praised for its beautiful, scenic location and excellent maintenance, with many guests appreciating the friendly and accommodating camp host, Tom. The camp offers clean facilities, including spotless vault toilets, and some sites with water and electricity, enhancing the camping experience. While the campground will transition to a "First Come, First Served" system, it remains a recommended choice for those seeking a peaceful outdoor retreat near Yellowstone.

We loved Rex Hale campground. Not only was this campground BEAUTIFUL and very scenic, it was extremely well maintained. The Host was gracious, friendly and conscientious. I can't say enough good things about the HOST. He's a keeper! The campsites were neat and clean, and the Vault Toilets were absolutely spotless. This campground is nestled in a little canyon, and the view inside the campground is spectacular. Some sites with water and electric, which was convenient. I'd give 10 stars if I could. It's just too bad that this campground is switching to "First Come, First Served in the future, because it is guaranteed to be difficult to get into in the future. Highly recommended!

Was a good location to visit Yellowstone. Not at all crowed.nce and helpful camp host. We had reservations but not for all of our stay. We were able to move our reservation to just one site. The site even had electricity. Rex Hale can be windy. We would recommend Rex Hale.
