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.

Quick drive to the East entrance of Yellowstone. Nice, quiet campground- surrounded by red rocks. Clean bathrooms and plenty of space at the camp site. We’re looking forward to camping here again!

When we arrived at the campground the host informed me that the water was not useable. We traveled 10 hours empty expecting to be able to fill our tank up for the rest of our trip. That was really the only disappointment we had here. Beautiful campground and very quiet. The River running through is very peaceful. Would try here again if we came back but would call ahead to check water status.

Beautiful camp ground. We had an excellent time and they have an excellent camp host. The camp sits among these mountains and a river near by. It was just breath taking. To say the least we really enjoyed it. We plan to go again in another year.
