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.

Beautiful landscape and well maintained campsites with bear lockers. The last campground before Yellowstone’s east entrance that tent camping is permitted.
Bring your water with you because the water faucets do not work.

Rex Hale is a gem, you can't beat the remoteness & closeness to Yellowstone National Park. Forest Service personnel maintain this campground impeccably, the camp hosts are a wealth of information, they kind and really made my wife and I feel welcome. We were there August 24th-27th saw some decent grizzly bear tracks along the river, so you know they are in the area. Rex Hale was the closets campground to Yellowstone were you could still tent camp, camp grounds closer required hard-side campers due to bear activity. So finding the grizzly bear tracks along the river just about 200 yards from were our tent was, made you really double the effort of following the rules for tent camping in grizzly bear country. Rex Hale will be a return campground for us.

We have been here several years and love it. The hosts were very friendly and personable. The toilets were immaculate and the park was neatly kept. 9/5-9/9.
