"Campers generally consider Canyon Campground one of the best bases for exploring Yellowstone due to its very central location near Canyon Village, Hayden Valley, Lamar Valley, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Many describe it as clean, quiet, wooded, and well maintained, with friendly and helpful staff and a good mix of services for a national park campground. People appreciate the hot showers (often included with the site), laundry facilities, dishwashing areas, and proximity to stores, gas, dining hall, and visitor center. However, experiences vary by loop and site: some guests find the sites spacious, shaded, and private, while others feel the campground is crowded, with small or sloped pads and spots packed close together. Complaints center on site layout, crowding, pricing, and occasional cleanliness or maintenance issues with showers and bathrooms."
