Dispersed camping Yellowstone, N.P. – North Entrance

Custer Gallatin National Forest at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park offers fantastic dispersed camping with great views. As soon as you exit the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park head to the Gardiner District visitors center on the south side of the main road in Gardiner, MT. There are information pamphlets out front with information on camping and other activities. The dispersed camping pamphlet shows some of the national forest campgrounds in the area along with the designated dispersed camping areas. Most of the dispersed camping areas are in the mountains right outside of town. The roads leading to the dispersed campsites are in decent condition but can have some switchbacks, slightly steep inclines, and rough patches. Drive carefully. The trip is worth it.
