Any ideas on an inexpensive camping site that is near Yellowstone? Same for the Grand Canyon?
My family and I are going on vacation, but are wanting to camp most of the time. We want nice campgrounds that are inexpensive…like say $14 a night or maybe just slightly more. We need to find these campgrounds and reserve very quickly. We leave for vacation Sept. 4th. Does anyone have ANY ideas on where we could camp? Take into consideration that flushing toilets or shower facilities would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone who has ever camped in either of these two places, could help me out here, I would be grateful!!!
Thanks!
I can give you information about Yellowstone. You will not find anything with full hook ups in that price range. There are National Forest Camp Grounds around the park that are cheap, but no hook ups and pit toilets at most.
You can stay in the park for about $18.50 a night. No hook ups but there are nice restrooms with running water (cold, not hot) and flush toilets. There are also pay showers available at some of them. It’s about $3.50 a shower depending on if you need a towel.
Some of the campgroundsare starting to close. You should have no trouble finding a spot. We like Canyon Campground because it is centrally located in the park but it closes Sept. 7th. Others that take reservations are Grant Village, Bridge Bay (no showers), Madison (no showers), Fishing Bridge (Big RVs only), and Mammoth (no showers). Just dress warm because temps drop to the 30s and 40s at night.
The park is starting to slow down for the season, so some of the stores and facilities are closed or closing this week and next. You need to go to http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/open_closedates.htm#september and check on your dates. Might be best to go to Yellowstone first.
The best town for camping is West Yellowstone. It’s right at the West Entrance to the park. Check out some of their campgrounds at http://www.westyellowstonechamber.com/sleep/rv-campground/
They aren’t cheap 
Have a great time!
