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 liked the openness of this campground so we can get the morning sun. Plus we use a solar panel to keep the battery of our pop-up charged. The other campgrounds are more shaded by lots of trees. The host is a very friendly retired guy from Cody. Very quiet campground. The campground also has a water spigot at the entrance so one can fill up the water tank of an RV with a hose.

Nice location close to river and mountains outside of Yellowstone. Clean campsites and we even had a fox wander through next to our trailer to check things out.
