Nice campground equipped with bear box for all food, trash, etc. Easy to find. Next to the river with nice hiking trails. Well maintained bathrooms and camp sites. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a wonderful campground. Easy to get to but sites are secluded from the road and from each other. Great location along the Shoshone River with a bridge to allow exploration of the area.

We absolutely loved Wapiti campground! Stunningly beautiful location, private and perfectly laid out campsites and a great launching point into the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We spent one night at Wapiti, in a spot right on the river, and then drove to Yellowstone lake and then onto Cooke City. The camp host at Wapiti is a super friendly guy who offered to provide us with a weather report and other information before we left.
Would stay there again!

This was our favorite campground of our trip around Yellowstone. No signal, pretty sparse, quiet, clean and really unique scenery. The hike across the bridge is great. Site was nice, level and open.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
