What Guests Are Saying
Rex Hale campground is highly praised for its beautiful, well-maintained sites and friendly camp host, Tom, who is noted for his helpfulness and attentiveness. The campground offers a peaceful and picturesque outdoor experience, with convenient amenities such as water and electricity at some sites. While there are only vault toilets, they are clean and well-kept, and the location provides easy access to Yellowstone's east entrance.

The site that we had was nice and spacious. It had electric and water. We had no problems with anything at all. The vault toilets were clean and didn’t smell bad! Very pleased with campground. Just be aware that there is no signal other than for emergency calls.

Beautiful place to camp. Both the Camp host and the Ranger were both very helpful.
Lots of wildlife in the area and not far from the east entrance to Yellowstone.

Tom was an awesome volunteer, super friendly. Campsite was beautiful, right off the river. My wife said the bathrooms were very clean. Amazing fresh, UV purified water on tap. Be aware however that there are almost no trees to speak of.

Beautiful campground with sheer cliffs around it and water flowing by. The camp host, Tom, is wonderful and helpful. Clean toilets. Small bear box available at each site for storage of food and other scented items. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at this campground. The only issue we had was we made reservations online and had to make two separate reservations at two different sites in order to stay two nights. We found out after we got there from the camp host that you don’t have to make reservations it’s first come first serve so we learned from our experience. We would definitely stay here again.

This is, by far, the nicest National Forest campsite we have ever seen. Sites are perfectly graveled and level. This site had water hookup which included a separate water spigot for drinking/washing...brilliant! Bathrooms were very clean. Campsite host was awesome. Quiet, gorgeous, location on the river.

Camp host is friendly and keeps the restrooms clean. Camp sites are spaced out nicely.
