Yellowstone Fishing Bridge Spots

We are planning a camping trip over Memorial Weekend inYellowstone with a 30' spot reserved. We have since upgraded our trailer and now it is 33' long. I checked and there are not any 35' or 40' spots available in the entire park.

I know Fishing Bridge is tight from side to side but not sure on depth. Can I shove 33' in a 30' spot there? Is a 30' spot from the curb? Can the back of the trailer hang over the curb?

I would hate to get down there and not fit....

    Except that the NPS has a concessionaire, Xanterra, operating FB, so that's who needs to be called.


    This is true. The NPS won't get involved in this.

    Stayed there a week last year. Great location within a mile or so of the west entrance. However, it's a drive to anything in the park. This year will be our first trying out FB with a 32ft Montana in a 35ft spot. Reserved back in January. My fingers are crossed!
  • We have spent a lot of time in Yellowstone mainly camping at Fishing Bridge over the years. Site lengths are pretty accurate as there will be someone right behind you. Over the years, they have removed some of the trees that created problems backing into sites. Sites are still tight to get into and you need to have good backing up skills with a larger rig. Always fun watching someone that has poor backing skills and a wife hollering at him get into some of the tighter spaces. They will fit as advertised, just a little patience and skill to get it done.

    Once there, you won't spend much time in the campground, so don't worry about how close you are to your neighbors. Go out and enjoy the park, come back and eat then hit the sack as you will most likely be tired from all the activities and effects of the 7000+ altitude.
