Canyon Campground, Campground in Park County, Wyoming.
Canyon Campground is a campground within a thick forest of lodgepole pines in Yellowstone National Park, with campsites surrounded by tall evergreen trees. The setting is defined by its wooded landscape, where sites are nestled among the natural forest.
The campground was established after Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872 to provide overnight accommodations for park visitors. Over time it became an essential part of the park's visitor infrastructure.
The campground brings together visitors who share a passion for outdoor exploration and wildlife watching in a forest setting. People gather here to experience nature together and form connections over their love of the wilderness.
The campground is open only during warmer months and offers basic facilities including restrooms, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings. Visitors should prepare for variable weather and expect crowding during peak season.
The campground sits near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, where visitors can hear rushing water while watching bison and elk in their natural habitat. This proximity to dramatic river canyon landscapes and large wildlife viewing combines two major experiences in one location.
