Wow! This RV park is gorgeous. Everything is super clean. The road is level and cement paved. The landscaping is perfect. The sites are large with hard packed gravel to park on, a cement patio, picnic table,  a lot of grass and beautiful trees. The playground is large, safe and clean. You will never have to hike too far because restrooms, showers and laundry rooms can be found throughout the park. 


 



They even have a huge, private                                accessible restroom/shower. 

 
The WiFi is just OK especially during peak hours. An abundance of dumpsters are conveniently located throughout the park. In the clubhouse every morning a complementary hot beverage is available. I could go on and on forever because somebody was paying very close attention to the details. This park is fabulous!!

Of course the main attraction is Yellowstone National Park. 

Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.

Arrive early because the line to get in the park is slow and long. Don't forget your Access Pass. At the gate you will be given maps. You can even get an access ability guide for wheelchairs. An audio guided tour app is available through the iTunes Store but, it DID NOT work for us. Most people follow the same route through the park. I would suggest going the opposite direction. You will see everything and avoid heavy congestion. The largest tourist trap is Old Faithful. If you want souvenirs or food get it BEFORE the geyser erupts. 

Yellowstone is breathtaking! There is way too much to see all-in-one day. I recommend splitting it up and pacing yourself. On the way out we drove our RV through the park and exited the East entrance. We got a great new perspective that was amazing. The Buffalo were a little less intimidating this time. 

 

Be advised, after exiting Yellowstone, this route will take you through the Big Horn National Forest. It is an absolutely beautiful mountainous drive but there are some steep and windy roads.

Another must see Is...

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center 
201 South Canyon 
West Yellowstone, MT 
406-646-7001

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is a nonprofit educational facility. Rangers give scheduled seminars. They are also available for any and all questions. This is the home for many grizzly bears, wolves and birds of prey that for various reasons could not survive in the wild. They are all well cared for at the Discovery center.

This is a perfect place to bring your children and everyone else. As far as mobility issues, this center is relatively small and completely paved. There are small hills to maneuver however, the inside exhibits and the gift shop are all on one level.

If you like Mexican food you absolutely must eat at "The Taco Bus".

Las Palmitas 

21 N. Canyon St.

406–640-0172

This restaurant is literally a bus and if you blink you may miss it. It's location is next to a bike store. The food is amazing!! I highly recommend the street tacos. If you can climb into a bus the seating is tight. Outside they have bench seating or you can get your food to go.
