Norris Campground

Yellowstone National Park


Nestled in a scenic, open, lodgepole-pine forest on a sunny hill overlooking the Gibbon River and meadows, this is one of the park’s nicest campgrounds. Sites are given on a first-come basis and the few loop-A riverside spots get snapped up quickly. Campfire talks are at 7:30pm and firewood is sold between 7pm and 8:30pm. Generators allowed 8am to 8pm.

There are fishing and wildlife-viewing opportunities nearby, Solfatara Creek trailhead is in the campground and the path to Norris Geyser Basin is just 1 mile long. You'll likely face an hour-long queue for sites on summer mornings. Get in the queue by 8am.
