Campground Overview

About Cave Falls Campground

How often do you find a campground that perfectly balances seclusion, natural drama, and proximity to one of America’s most iconic national parks? Cave Falls Campground in Alta, Wyoming, offers this rare trifecta, combining lightly used campsites, the roar of Fall River, and a gateway to Yellowstone National Park's pristine backcountry.

This campground features 23 wooded sites situated at an elevation of 6,200 feet, offering fire rings, grills, picnic tables, vault toilets, and a central artesian well for drinking water. With pull-through spots suitable for both tents and RVs, it welcomes both casual campers and seasoned adventurers. Enhanced by bear-resistant storage boxes and trash receptacles, it emphasizes safety given its location in bear country. A short drive away, the stunning Cave Falls—a cascade set within Yellowstone—awaits exploration, along with nearby trails that extend deep into the park.

Located about 23 miles from Ashton, Idaho, Cave Falls Campground provides unique access to Yellowstone’s Bechler region, known for its quiet wilderness and non-motorized recreation. It’s a prime choice for those seeking fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, or simply escaping the crowds for an authentic outdoor experience.
