Campground Overview

About Eagle Creek Campground

Perched atop a bluff overlooking Yellowstone National Park's majestic peaks, Eagle Creek Campground offers a rustic retreat with unparalleled access to Montana's wild beauty.

This compact campground features 20 unpaved sites nestled among aspen groves, providing a serene base for exploring the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. While sites lack privacy, the sweeping valley views and frequent wildlife sightings more than compensate. Clean vault toilets and bear-proof food storage boxes cater to tent and RV campers alike, though hookups are absent.

Located just 2 miles northeast of Gardiner, Eagle Creek serves as an ideal gateway to Yellowstone's wonders. The campground's 6,100-foot elevation delivers cooler temperatures and stellar stargazing opportunities. Adventurers can embark on hikes directly from the adjacent Yellowstone River Trailhead or venture into the park for world-famous geothermal features and wildlife viewing.

Eagle Creek Campground primarily attracts outdoor enthusiasts seeking an authentic Montana camping experience. Its proximity to Yellowstone makes it perfect for multi-day park explorations, while the on-site horse corrals appeal to equestrians looking to ride the surrounding backcountry trails. The campground's year-round accessibility also makes it a popular basecamp for winter activities in the area.
