- EurocamperExplorerAverage Weather For Yellowstone National Park
The correct answer is apparently June 20 to September 7.
Remember what they say about averages: "You can still drown crossing a stream whose average depth is only 6 inches." - Johno02ExplorerBetter question is the odds on an eruption.
- n7bsnExplorerWesernparkowner is correct. Freezing weather is -possible- any time of year in Yellowstone, I have seen it snow every month of the year.
July and August are least likely, which is also why the park is packed with tourists then.
Personally I prefer early and late also. - westernrvparkowExplorer

Actually, overnight freezing temps should be expected up until about June 1st and after about September 10th. What you won't generally get is a deep freeze during the open dates, but it is not a sure thing. With very few precautions (unhooking and draining your water hose, keeping any plants inside) a rig should have no problem with a few hours of temps in the upper 20s. Personally, the benefits of an early or late stay in Yellowstone would far outweigh any concerns about cold temps.
May 10 - Sept 22 are the days of operation. You're not likely to freeze during these dates.
