What Guests Are Saying
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 had a great time and very much enjoyed our stay on site 022. All sites were spaced well and afforded excellent views of the surrounding mountains. Ed the camp host was very friendly and helpful in orienting all guests in their stays.
A bonus for us was being able to watch a mountain goat/sheep walk on the cliffs above us one night as we relaxed.
I highly recommend this campground for visiting the greater Yellowstone and Cody region.

This is a very nice National Forest campground situated along the Shoshone River with sites spaced out nicely and more open than other campgrounds along the highway, well maintained and clean facilities.

Great campsite, very quiet close to East entrance of Yellowstone. We had no hookups at our site . Site was fairly level and camp host was helpful and friendly.

Very nice Forest Service campground....level sites with great views and not too close together. Some sites have water and electricity which is hard to find outside the east entrance to Yellowstone. No cell service and a long drive over a 9000ft pass in/out of Yellowstone each day. Great value with a America The Beautiful Senior Pass
