Buffalo Crossing RV Park

4 Reviews Add Review

RV travelers seeking convenient access to Yellowstone will find Buffalo Crossing RV Park positioned directly in West Yellowstone, Montana. The park accommodates RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups on gravel pull-through sites. Operating from mid-May through mid-October, the campground shares its grounds with a Giant Screen Theatre, offering guests discounted movie tickets.

The gravel surface can present leveling challenges for some RVs, as one reviewer noted their Anderson levelers sliding during setup. Sites feature grass areas and young trees, though the overall layout keeps spaces relatively close together. The park provides functional amenities including clean showers, laundry facilities, and a small designated area for dogs, though pet exercise options remain limited to a square of grass.

"This campground was very close to the West Yellowstone entrance and was very convenient," explains one camper who appreciated the location's practicality. The park's position within the tourist district of West Yellowstone means easy access to local shops and services, though grocery prices tend to run higher than typical. Management policies include restrictions on package deliveries from major carriers, which may affect extended stays.

Buffalo Crossing serves RV travelers prioritizing proximity to Yellowstone's west entrance over spacious sites or extensive recreational facilities. The combination of full hookups, functional amenities, and walking distance to the park entrance makes this a utilitarian base for exploring campgrounds around West Yellowstone.

Many campers appreciated the prime location near Yellowstone's entrance and basic amenities when functional. Some feedback indicated management issues and facility closures without notice detract from the experience.

False information

They did not inform us (or other campers) that the bathroom/showers/laundry would be closed when we made reservations. Then they lied and told us the info was on website and we stood there and showed him it was NOT! Was offered a refund but too late in day to find another park.

You Pay the Price for Location

Resort prices for lackluster campground; you are paying to be at the mouth of Yellowstone, which is invaluable considering everything you want to see within the park is 1-3 hours away.

The park itself is fine - the showers and laundry work. But it’s very small with cramped spaces. We were fortunate to get Site 15 at the end of the first row, so we aren’t facing anyone’s sewer or slide outs, but one site faces the doggy waste bin and another faces the dumpster, so I could see those visitors having grievance.

There is no dog run, just a square of grass. I understand it’s difficult to provide space for pets here as it borders the park, but just be aware that your pet won’t get exercised.

What’s frustrating is we are full-timers staying here for over two weeks, and the managers indicated they won’t accept deliveries from Amazon, UPS, or FedEx. Long story short - FedEx confirmed they will deliver directly to your site. Unfortunately, I already placed a hold on the delivery and these were time sensitive items.

They give you a discount to the IMAX theater and a token for a free ice cream cone, which might satiate your need for more from this park if you’re retired or traveling with kids, but we aren’t.

Overall, I would stay here again because of the location. But like most “resorts” on the cusp of a national park, it leaves more to be desired

Feels like a Parking Lot

This campground was very close to the West Yellowstone entrance and was very convenient. This campground is right in the small town of West Yellowstone. The park felt safe, clean, and well cared for. It was a large gravel pull-thru site with full hook-ups that was okay. It was a little difficult to level with our travel trailer with our Anderson levelers because they kept sliding in the gravel (frustrating). There was some grass and young trees that were well cared for.

We used our couple night stay to utilize the laundry facilities, which were clean and fully functional, and also visit some friends nearby.

We would stay here again, but it would not be a destination for us. We did visit several local stores in West Yellowstone during our stay and it felt very touristy, which I guess we shouldn't have been a surprised by. We needed to restock on some groceries during our stay and they were a bit pricey.

The campground is affiliated "Giant Screen Theatre" on the same grounds. As a guest of at the RV park you get a discounted rate to see a movie but our time there was limited and we didn't take the time to see a movie.

I would recommend this campground but the location leaves something to be desired. I feel like it was very utilitarian, well cared for, and was a good move by the owners to make this location into a RV park.
