Awesome place to stop en route or if you're in the area. Nice sized lake that allows kayaking,…read moreSUPing, and fishing. Just be sure to wear your life jacket or else you will get fined. :) There is a path around the lake to walk, a playground area, a dog park (park at the launch area and walk .25 miles), and some shelters you can rent out. Also plenty of restrooms as well. So glad we stopped to SUP for an hour- the weather was absolutely perfect. $6 parking for out of state license plates and the park rangers do come by to check!

It's a nice place to hang out,throw a line and walk around.semi-ok dog park.non motorized…read moreboats,kayaks rafts and such.it's not bad if you have nowhere else to go ,but there are much better parks all around the area to visit and walk around.One could also visit the Indian caves or Pompeys pillar.

They were going to get 5 stars until... About 6am there were 2 cars with homeless people in them…read more One had a blonde lady in a puffer jacket that tried to get the code to the bathroom by asking everyone she saw, including me and my husband. Eventually someone let her in. There was another junky car parked nearby that also clearly didn't belong there. So I was happy to be leaving because otherwise felt like my stuff would get stolen if I didn't watch it closely as we were packing up. I had called the "after hours" number twice about the lady before she got in but was directed to leave a message each time. All that said, I felt safe until then. The bathrooms and showers were clean and also plentiful. We played the mini golf there, which was free. We walked down to the Yellowstone River, which was steps away. It was stunning with lots of cool rocks. The one-room cabin was good. A code to get in, which was nice. Air conditioner and little fridge and desk with chair. Bunk beds and also another (full size?) bed. The curtains were good at blocking out light. The little shop had coffee in the morning but like all other koa's not until 8am. We had a fire pit at our cabin. I recommend this place but watch your belongings and don't let vagrants in the bathroom.

You have to walk on your neighbors side to hook up water and electric. Our site #32 had no sewer. Felt like a packed sardine and bees everywhere. Book that the Yellowstone RV Park instead as drove thru and wider sites and much nicer park. We will book there next time instead. Avoid this KOA if you can, we won't be back.

On our second day in the park, we had visited the Grand Canyon area, and then we discovered the…read morelake. On that day, a storm must've been moving in because the wind was gusting and there were actually waves on the lake! We got out a couple times and explored the beachfront. I found a couple of bird feathers, which was exciting for me, and generally just amazing given the gusts of wind - I was surprised that they didn't blow away. On our third day in the park as we came back through from the fishing bridge headed towards Old Faithful, we went by the lake again, and we were stunned at the complete difference in personality that we were witnessing. The lake was completely and totally calm, quiet, and gentle. We had to stop and explore again, and it was such a different experience from the day before. This lakefront is amazing and it's definitely a place to be explored in the park.

I drove through Yellowstone Lake as I was going to West Thumb Geyser Basin on the eastern portion…read moreof the park. It's a HUGE lake and it took me a while to drive down the road with the lake by my side. There are a lot of pulloffs that you can soak in the views or even go down to the lake and play in the water. It'll take you a while to drive around the entire lake and there are multiple parts of it. West Thumb and Grant Visitor Center will be closest to the main sections of the park and closest to Grand Loop Road. Although the South and Southeast arms of the lake are further away I imagine they're less crowded so you can have more peace doing all your fun activities.
