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.

This is a beautiful campground in the valley leading up to Yellowstone. One of the nicest FS campgrounds I've stayed in. The host was very friendly and helpful and the latrines were spotless. Some earlier reviews mention the water being off; it is on and potable now.

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
