Fishing Bridge RV Park Yellowstone

Fishing Bridge RV Park

Special notice to Fishing Bridge RV Park guests 

Work is underway to upgrade the electrical hookups throughout the Fishing Bridge RV Park.  For summer of 2011, there will be a limited number of sites available with 50 amp service along with the usual water and sewer hookups. The upgrade project will continue into 2012. Therefore, not all sites will have electricity in 2011, but will continue to have water and sewer hookups. Those sites without electricity will be offered at a discounted rate.

Fishing Bridge RV Park

The Fishing Bridge Recreational Vehicle Park is located near the mouth of the Yellowstone River as it leaves Yellowstone Lake. The RV park is named after the Fishing Bridge, a wooden vehicle bridge that used to provide a great platform from which park visitors would fish for native Cutthroat trout. Today, fishing is not allowed from the bridge, although visitors still congregate on the walkways to watch White Pelicans and other waterfowl gliding along the river’s surface, and trout swimming under the crystal clear water.

Specifics about the RV Park

The Fishing Bridge RV Park provides approximately 250 sites designated for hard sided recreational vehicles only. This is because the RV park is located in bear habitat. Because of its location, we ask that RV campers be especially diligent in their compliance with park food storage regulations.

Sites are double-wide with a limited space for slide outs. Recreational vehicles up to 40 feet in length can be accommodated in the sites. All sites are open with back-in access. A pine forest surrounds the RV Park.

Fishing Bridge RV Park offers water and sewer hook-ups at the sites. Electric service is not available at this time, however we do have a limited number of sites that are designated to allow generator use from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.. There is a coin laundry and pay showers in the nearby Camper Services facility. A sanitary dump station is also available near the entrance.
