Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North — Hotel in West Yellowstone

We selected the Rocky mountain park, because of the proximity to Yellowstone Park and some of the reviews that we read online. We arrived into the park and things seem to be normal. It is a bit tight to drive to our sight. The check in team asked for phone numbers and email addresses in case they need to reach us in case of emergency (this would become important later on). The “premium” or “deluxe site and found it to be very, very cramped. We dropped our trailer. We then had to park our truck in the rear of the trailer. The sewage dump was way over in our neighbor’s site as well as the power and the water hook ups. You could tell that our neighbors were a bit concerned as to the location of these hookups as it is to their campsite. We set up and decided to have a bit of lunch. We sat down and began to eat. We noticed that the folks across the drive from us were gone, but their awning was left open. It was a nice Coleman popup, but we were concerned by how the awning was flapping in the wind. The winds in Montana are quite strong and powerful. In the short time that I ate my sandwich, the awning was half off the camper. I ran down to the office to gain permission to close our neighbor’s awning. I met a lady on the golf cart. She seemed less than concerned. She told me that they are “not supposed to leave the awning open”. We returned to the site. I began to close it and fold everything back together so that it would not be damaged. The woman called Pete (someone important at the campground, owner, boss, etc.) on the radio He said, “they are not supposed to leave their awning open…let it get it torn to hell!!” Not the reaction we hoped for. Where we are from, campers look out for one another. He would later find out that the campground is not family or pet friendly establishment. The next day, we went to Yellowstone and had a great time. We returned to the campsite and played with our dogs. My wife, girls, and Mother in law decided to go to the community campfire. My father in law and I stayed at the site (between his site and mine) to sit at the picnic table and watch the dogs. When I went into the camper to retrieve something, I came back out and we were being hollered at by a woman from the campground (same one who checked us in). She claimed that she received 3 complaints about our dogs. They were completely quite, but she acted like they were wild and crazy. Later, the rest of our family returned to our adjoining sites and let us know what they heard at the campfire. This woman came down the campfire and told Pete (torn to hell Pete) that we had wild and crazy barking dogs. She said we put the dogs away and then got them back out again as soon as she left. This was a lie. She then asked Pete, in front of my family, “so when are they scheduled to leave?” She was acting as if we are a huge nuisance and could not wait for us to depart. Next day, we went to the park and again had a great day. We returned to the camper and played with and walked our dogs. We ran them and exercised them aggressively as they were cooped up all day. As we sat there, another park employee arrived and said we needed to put our dogs away as they are too noisy. At this point, they had not made a sound. We went for some pizza in town, but we were nervous they would kick us out if our dogs were noisy. We have camped together more times that I can count, we have visited over 12 National parks, countless state parks, as well as private campgrounds together. This is the first time we have encountered this kind of reaction to our dogs. We were...

1969 Airstream 27' , GMC Yukon XL. 2 old fogies and 3 little doggies stayed here in Aug 2013. We called in reservations 3 days prior, for a 4 day stay and full hookup. When we checked in we were placed on the second tier of the park the very first space of the second row of RV spaces. Our space was road on three sides there was a small spot just big enough for a table between the door of the trailer and the only road in or out of the park. The space had no sewer hook up, but had cable, which was not what we asked for. There was not enough room to park our puller in the space, it had to be parked in another area of the park. While we were unhooking several large motor homes drove through and one of them almost hit our hitch. My husband asked the owner if he had a traffic cone we could place at the front of the hitch he started cursing my husband out and told us we had to leave the park. He was yelling so loud at us others in the park came out to see what was going on. The owner actually brought a credit card refund receipt and threw it at us told us we had to be out of the park in 10 min. or he would call the police. We had no where else to go, this is height of Yellowstone Parks visitor season and it is 6:00 PM, so we told him we would go when the police arrived. 15 min later the owners wife arrived in a golf cart and she was apologizing left and right, she was offering us a different space with much more room, they rearranged their bookings so that a smaller trailer could use the space we were in. We moved to the new space which was larger and had enough room for our puller parked sideways across front of trailer, it also had full hookup no cable. We watched as several others attempted to fit the first site with no luck, it remained empty while we were there, and in my opinion should not be rented, it is a dangerous space. Another note this park has a small grassy fenced area for a dog walk. The fence is not secure for small dogs they can get under in spots. Also they have a monitor that watches everything...

We stayed June 2023. I booked our spot on-line. The spot I booked didn’t have the option for a travel trailer BUT… I put in the length of our Airstream and it let me book. Then we arrive, the park was PACKED. Upon check in there was that “uh-oh, how long is your trailer”. Our Airstream is 31’ and the worker was friendly and helpful and suggested we try it OR he had another option. We tried to fit, didn’t work. So this is on Sun Outdoors to let this site be booked when the user puts in their actual size. This would of been DISASTROUS if there wasn’t option 2; they had two spots behind the back of the offices that were secluded. The problem was, leaving required moving a vehicle and opening the gate. It was a bit of an ordeal trying to find the worker to move his van so we could exit, exiting was tight but he helped navigate us through. All the sites are gravel as are the roads. Water pressure was excellent, Verizon worked well all through town. Some sites have grass. All the pull through sites have grass. The sites overlooking Gardiner had no grass. The RV park is walking distance to the entrance of Yellowstone, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. EVERY day into Yellowstone requires HOURS of driving so I wouldn’t want to add anymore driving time by staying anywhere else. Food in Gardiner consists of mostly Buffalo burgers and sandwiches but you are walking distance to anywhere you’d want to go, or at very least a short drive. The staff was all accommodating and even brought my Amazon packages to my trailer. The laundry facilities were clean and plentiful. Would stay again but would do so in a...
