Yellowstone Lodging

Lake Hotel

Lodging in the park fills fast so try to make reservations early. Even if you think you are too late, I still recommend that you at least try to find a room in the park. Staying in the park is more convenient and allows you to experience the park more intimately.

    Accommodations in the park range from very nice and modern with tub and shower to rustic cabins with only a sink to canvas walled structures with no plumbing.

    All lodging does have nearby access to restrooms and showers but none has televisions or radios.

    My favorite lodging is the rustic Old Faithful Lodge cabins. It is relatively cheap and centrally located to many of the sights in the park. It is quite rustic but the location is great and it serves its purpose as a place to sleep.

    The other lodging at Old Faithful also has the benefit of excellent location. The Old Faithful Inn is a beautiful building and and most of the rooms were recently remodled and are quite comfortable. The Old Faithful Snow Lodge cabins are very nice whereas, the Snow Lodge rooms are only good as a place to sleep.

    Other good locations are at Lake, Grant Village and to a lesser extent Canyon. Mammoth and Roosevelt are just too far away for my tastes, although, some people really enjoy Roosevelt.

    If you can't find rooms in the park try the gateway towns. West Yellowstone is the closest to most of the sights and has over 50 motels. The gateway towns may not be as convenient and do not have the charm of staying in the park but they offer many more lodging options. They also have television and a nightlife of sorts.
