Too late to book July Yellowstone reservations?

Thanks!

I've been calling around today trying to schedule between July 5 and 15, and I'm finding plenty of spots open. The weekend of the 4th seems full but after that, it's open. I just can't find a spot that I can fit my rig in (55ft), but... there are PLENTY for smaller setups.

( there are no reservations here) when I called a week ago to see if I could reserve a electric one at one of the other national park campgrounds they said there are cancellations every day. So it's not out of the question

Interesting to read this. We were at Gros Ventre a few days ago and we were told that all the electric sites were being held for employees working at GTNP (or not available to the general public). Although there were a lot of spaces occupied on all the other non-electric loops, there were still many open spots. It is a huge campground.

We opted to go into Yellowstone. Lewis was closed but we went to the Grant Campground, got in line early in the day and got a spot (no hookups, but very nice campground).

Which day were you at Gros Ventre campground?


EDIT: I see that it was back in May. Good that you got there early.
