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.

This campsite is wilderness crazy awesome beautiful. Outside of Yellowstone's craziness and packed house which was a nice relief.

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.

Campsites well-spaced out and bear boxes easy to use. Lots of vault toilets, many of them had flies - probably because of the temperature. They were otherwise well-kept. Water pumps and dumpsters easily accessible.
On a clear night we saw the stars and comet!
Nice campsite 20 miles outside of east entrance of Yellowstone.

Beautiful area to camp out. This is a rural, quiet place that also has hookups and a place to dump trash as well as a bear locker and fire pit. We had a great time here

This place was exquisite!! A beautiful location. Clean campgrounds, toilets were fine and not smelly. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is the fact that there was no water. This was due to the water being turned off for testing positive for (bacteria?) issues. So we had to dry camp. Not a big deal, but we did have some neighbors who needed to borrow some water because they did not have enough. I realize this is no fault of the Rex Hale Campground itself, but it was inconvenient. But those are the chances you take when camping. Still a GORGEOUS place to stay the night! I would most definitely book to stay there again!!

A little far from the Park, but overall great experience, there's a river down by the campground that makes fishing really nice.
