My camper didn’t fit in the site. The host was kind to let us find another place. We didn’t last long there as the site stunk like pee. I am not saying it was the whole campsite, but the one we chose.

Great campground on the Shoshone river. Our site backed right to the river. Half the campground is dry camping and the other has electric. Close to east entrance of Yellowstone and also to Cody WY. No cell service.

  • 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
