Bridge Bay Campground is located 30 miles from the park's East Entrance adjacent to Yellowstone Lake and the Bridge Bay Marina, where you'll find spectacular views of the lake and the Absaroka Range rising above the eastern shore. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire pit with grate. Food storage boxes measuring 48 x 22 x 22 inches are available for shared use.

Bridge Bay Marina offers a small store, backcountry office, and serves as the hub for boat rentals and tours on Yellowstone Lake. If you plan to launch your own boat, please learn about our boating regulations. Park rangers host nightly evening programs from early June to early September at the campground amphitheater.
