About Yellowstone Park / West Gate KOA Holiday

Just 6 miles from Yellowstone's west entrance at West Yellowstone, Montana (the most popular and convenient entry point), you'll find a pine-shaded site that is the perfect base camp for exploring the world's first national park. Old Faithful puts on its steamy regular-as-clockwork show just 30 miles away. A tour bus can pick you up at KOA's office for a ride to the park, or take the wheel yourself to tour Yellowstone's upper and lower loops. The area offers horseback riding, world-class fly-fishing, whitewater rafting, a nightly Old West Rodeo, Yellowstone Giant Screen Theatre and the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. Return for a soak in the indoor pool housed in a classic Montana log building. Fuel up with a latte and pancakes every summer morning and a barbecue dinner each evening (featuring Almost Famous ribs). Save room for delicious homemade fudge. Pool: May 18 - September 18. Max pull thru: 90 feet.
