If youre looking for a peaceful place to spend some time outdoors, this is the place. Remote, quiet and picturesque.

@VINCENTV740293 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #2

Tom, the campground host, was very accommodating and kept the campground in Tip top condition.

We loved Rex Hale campground. Not only was this campground BEAUTIFUL and very scenic, it was extremely well maintained. The Host was gracious, friendly and conscientious. I can't say enough good things about the HOST. He's a keeper! The campsites were neat and clean, and the Vault Toilets were absolutely spotless. This campground is nestled in a little canyon, and the view inside the campground is spectacular. Some sites with water and electric, which was convenient. I'd give 10 stars if I could. It's just too bad that this campground is switching to "First Come, First Served in the future, because it is guaranteed to be difficult to get into in the future. Highly recommended!

Was a good location to visit Yellowstone. Not at all crowed.nce and helpful camp host. We had reservations but not for all of our stay. We were able to move our reservation to just one site. The site even had electricity. Rex Hale can be windy. We would recommend Rex Hale.

Great campground very close to the east entrance of Yellowstone. Extremely quiet, beautiful scenery, the camp host was friendly and I enjoyed talking to him about his former trucking career. There are only vault toilets but if you really need plumbing, there is a rest stop a short drive towards Cody.

@ChrisO0CD78040 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #3

Site 5 was beautiful. Thank you

@tammyj3050291 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #21

Excellent site. Level, easy accessibility to your vehicle. Very clean bathrooms. Can hear river from site.

@VanitaF9634571 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #22

Beautiful location and site. We saw a golden eagle nest on the canyon wall. Amazing. Campsite was quiet and clean. Will definitely camp there again.

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #5

Love the fact that its not far from Yellowstone east entrance. Water and electricity a big plus since Yellowstone doesnt offer it

@ThomasL2772337 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #6

The site that we had was nice and spacious. It had electric and water. We had no problems with anything at all. The vault toilets were clean and didnt smell bad! Very pleased with campground. Just be aware that there is no signal other than for emergency calls.

@RichardVA9C352 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #5

Beautiful place to camp. Both the Camp host and the Ranger were both very helpful.Lots of wildlife in the area and not far from the east entrance to Yellowstone.

@AmmonKABABF645 · Camped on Sep 4, 2023 at Campsite #22

Tom was an awesome volunteer, super friendly. Campsite was beautiful, right off the river. My wife said the bathrooms were very clean. Amazing fresh, UV purified water on tap. Be aware however that there are almost no trees to speak of.

@RichardN832647 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #21

Great campground. Friendly host that we very informative about the area. I would stay here again while we explored the area.

@BeckyC3067319 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #2

The camp host was friendly, the grounds were clean and quiet and the scenery was beautiful

@GailW2758976 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #21

Very quiet and clean campground. The host,Tom, was outstanding. We were there 6 nights and spent most of our time in Yellowstone.

@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #5

Beautiful campground with sheer cliffs around it and water flowing by. The camp host, Tom, is wonderful and helpful. Clean toilets. Small bear box available at each site for storage of food and other scented items. I would definitely stay here again.

@CarySF2196D96F · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #3

We had a great stay at this campground. The only issue we had was we made reservations online and had to make two separate reservations at two different sites in order to stay two nights. We found out after we got there from the camp host that you dont have to make reservations its first come first serve so we learned from our experience. We would definitely stay here again.

@RebeccaD857325 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #2

This is, by far, the nicest National Forest campsite we have ever seen. Sites are perfectly graveled and level. This site had water hookup which included a separate water spigot for drinking/washing...brilliant! Bathrooms were very clean. Campsite host was awesome. Quiet, gorgeous, location on the river.

@JanetM5224563 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #7

Camp host is friendly and keeps the restrooms clean. Camp sites are spaced out nicely.

@EDWARDN75F8820 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #22

We liked the openness of this campground so we can get the morning sun. Plus we use a solar panel to keep the battery of our pop-up charged. The other campgrounds are more shaded by lots of trees. The host is a very friendly retired guy from Cody. Very quiet campground. The campground also has a water spigot at the entrance so one can fill up the water tank of an RV with a hose.

@CoreySEB6D611F · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #9

Nice location beautiful mountain peaks right outside your door.

@TomD9914097 · Camped on Jun 3, 2023 at Campsite #21

Nice location close to river and mountains outside of Yellowstone. Clean campsites and we even had a fox wander through next to our trailer to check things out.

@KeithC8792158 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #3

Our stay was outstanding park host was great. However was disappointed you are charging $8 for making a reservation

@JohnL4419148 · Camped on May 23, 2023 at Campsite #9

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
