Photos of New Fishing Bridge RV Park - YELLOWSTONE

[mleekamp]

Hey Gang. I've been searching for some time both here and mr. google but have not found any photos of the newly renovated fishing brdige RV park at Yellowstone. I've even looked on Yellowstone / Xantera website, and they still show the ancient pics of yesteryear.

Anyone out there know of any? We've stayed there before and as we plan 2023 trips were wondering what it's like now. Thanks.

I hope they changed things a little bit. most every site had a wooden post at the end and most of them had been knocked back about a 45 degree angle to "lengthen" them a little.

Looking at the sat photo above the RV's seem to be more widely spaced with trees around each site. The original site was the large bare open field and the RV's were so close that we could clearly hear conversation in the next unit.
May be fewer sites tho.

This picture may tell you otherwise as its supposedly after the renovations. New asphalt and fresh concrete. Mr Airstream looks like he could not run his awning out without hitting toy hauler guy, and toy hauler guy looks like his picnic table is 6' to 8' from Mr Airstreams truck. If it was a field before do they have super fast growing trees or did they transplant mature ones?

There are pictures in the page you linked if you scroll down.

They revised the web site after I initially posted it and added pictures.

Ugh. They kept the pay showers, such a crappy concept and worse implementation.

I rather liked those showers when I was there. strongest blast of nice warm water I've ever had. and since open to the public charging cuts down on a million people from other cam grounds to use them for free.

I don’t mind the shower fee. I can shower in my RV for free. So it doesn’t bother me.

I hear the utilities were upgraded and the entire place was repaved. I know there were some before and after photos on the internet. I haven’t seen them in a while though.

I see there are a couple in the link above, but there are more detailed photos out there.

They can't please everyone. Would you prefer they charge you at the gate for showers or they were free? In PA state parks the nightly rate starts at $15, then everything gets added to that Ala Carte. If the campground has running water with flush toilets and showers they call that "modern" and you pay $4.00 per night added to the $15.00 for it whether you use them or not. Reserve in a loop designated a pet section and pay $2.00 per night pet or not. The rate structure is thus.

$15.00 base rate.

Premium- Friday, Saturday, Holiday $4.00
Modern campground $4.00
Pet site $2.00
Electricity $7.00
Water and Sewer $13.00
Extra Car $5.00

So in a class A with toad on a weekend on a FHU site in a pet loop, you're at $50.00 per night. You do not use the showers because you're all self contained but you still pay for them. The very limited number of FHU sites they have are always in pet designated areas, so no pet and you eat that $2.00 per night also. How's that for crappy concepts.

It looks like Yellowstone built a gubmint version of a pack them in like sardines commercial park with sites jammed together like a KOA.

Maybe try Campground Views their video can be stopped and rotated to see campsites. Scroll down and take a look.

We drove past it last September 30th in a snowstorm, it looked very different but we got no photos. The gate was closed anyway. Try Google sat view.
