Boondocking in yellowstone12/8/2022 ![]() ![]() Up on the hill, you don’t really notice them. Sure, you’re close to the single vault toilet, but on weekends there are groups who like to party, play loud music and run their generators well into the night. There’s also a noise factor when you get down near the boat launching ramp. The area we chose on the hill was easy in/easy out with no issues. Also, if there’s any rain (and we had quite a bit), it only complicates trying to haul a large rig up the hills from the lower campsites. We did see a triple axle toy hauler right along the lakefront, but we also watched many trucks struggle and spin their tires trying to haul campers back up the hills when they decided to leave.

We scouted the area and chose a spot up on the hill, with a sweeping view of the lake and surrounding mountains. When we arrived, there were several RVs with spots already staked out along the shoreline, near the boat launching ramp, but the upper camping areas were relatively open. We arrived on a Friday, completely apprehensive about finding a spot due to the impending weekend. #BOONDOCKING IN YELLOWSTONE FREE#It’s only about an hour’s drive from West Yellowstone, and it offers free camping for up to 16 days at a time right on the shores of a beautiful lake. As we expanded our search, we came across the Ruby Dam Reservoir. Originally we wanted to be near Yellowstone National Park, but had trouble finding a place that would accommodate our big rig. We set out to find some great boondocking in western Montana. ![]()
