Yellowstone in September
How often do campgrounds fill in Yellowstone in mid September?
Forum Discussion
We prefer to go to Yellowstone in early June before families with school age kids arrive. We have always been successful getting a site at Mammoth with a morning arrival.
Last year we decided to try to get into Norris. A late morning arrival on June 10th found a number of sites available. They have a DIY check-in stand, so we were able to choose a site, then register for the night. IMO the best sites are in the first loop on the right. These sites are adjacent to the Gibbon River and a beautiful meadow. Several Bison were grazing in the meadow. Our first day there we toured that loop looking at the departure dates on the site posts. Early the next morning we moved to what IMO was the best site in the campground and registered for the rest of our stay.
