Yellowstone in late September

Another possibility for late September is Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone. We stayed there toward the end of September one year. FHUs, nice place to stay, only a few blocks to the park's west gate. Great alternative if the other CGs are closed, or if you like private CGs with nice facilities. The fall color should be about at peak then, I believe. It sure was nice when we were there at that time.

Stayed at Baker's Hole too in Mid to late Sept....great location right on the Madison River but watch there closing dates also. It's wonderful that time of year in Yellowstone!

Elk come through Madison campground nearly every night!

The only time we go. The elk and buffalo are coming down so you see them up quite close compared to how you see them during the summer.
Go to the northern part of the park to see and hear the elk.
It will be cooler so take some sweaters or light weight jackets. And perhaps have some mid-weight jackets with you.

Mid to late September is the only time we go. The latest time of year we've been there was early October and we woke up to 1/2" of snow. September is a wonderful time of year to go. You see a lot of wildlife and the elk are in rut so you'll not only see but hear bugling.
