Yellowstone Gateway Camp
West Yellowstone, MT · Rocky Mountains
Verified by farm2feralSep 2025
Melissa's Verdict
“Five minutes to the west entrance. Go in September — half the crowd, twice the wildlife, elk bugling at sunrise.”
About
The closest big rig-friendly park to Yellowstone's west entrance. Seasonal operation (May–October) with shuttle service to the park. September is the sweet spot — half the crowds, twice the wildlife.
Driving Approach
US-20 from Idaho Falls is the smoothest approach. Avoid US-191 from Bozeman in winter — mountain passes can be icy.
