Beyond Cruising: Luxury Camper Van Tour of Yellowstone + Grand Teton
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks beckon travelers with a promise of adventure. Imagine witnessing awe-inspiring wildlife, trekking through scenic landscapes, and soaking in the beauty of majestic mountains. Blacksford RV can help you turn this dream into reality with their 7-day RV itinerary designed to showcase the best these iconic parks have to offer.
Your journey begins in Bozeman, Montana, where you’ll pick up your Blacksford RV rental. Before embarking on your adventure, stock up on supplies in town and head south towards West Yellowstone, the gateway to Yellowstone National Park. The scenic Gallatin Road (US-191) winds alongside the Gallatin River, offering breathtaking views and a possible stop in the charming town of Big Sky.
Yellowstone National Park boasts a unique combination of geothermal wonders and historical significance. Explore the marvels of Old Faithful, a geyser erupting with clockwork precision, and witness the colorful palette of Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the United States. But Yellowstone is more than just geothermal features. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a vast chasm carved by the Yellowstone River, and Lamar Valley, a haven for wildlife viewing, are just a few of the park’s many treasures.
Blacksford recommends making campground reservations in advance, especially during peak season. While some campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis, others allow reservations. Yellowstone offers a mix of options, with Bridge Bay, Fishing Bridge, Canyon, Grant Village, and Madison Junction accepting reservations. Grand Teton National Park requires reservations for all RV campgrounds, which can be made through Recreation.gov.
For those seeking more amenities and connectivity, staying in towns bordering the parks is a good option. West Yellowstone, Montana, and Jackson, Wyoming, offer a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options just outside Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, respectively.
Blacksford understands that maneuvering an RV can be intimidating for first-timers. Their rental vehicles are designed for ease of use, similar to driving a large SUV. Campgrounds typically have designated parking areas for RVs, making maneuvering less stressful. However, be prepared for some patience during peak season, as parking lots at popular attractions can get crowded.
The 7-day itinerary provides a well-rounded park experience:
- Day 1: Travel from Bozeman to Big Sky and West Yellowstone.
- Day 2: Explore Old Faithful and other geothermal wonders.
- Day 3: Focus on wildlife viewing in Lamar Valley and witness the grandeur of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
- Day 4: Take a break from the park and enjoy activities like zip-lining, rafting, or exploring museums near West Yellowstone.
- Day 5: Make the scenic drive from Yellowstone to Grand Teton National Park.
- Day 6: Spend the day exploring Grand Teton by car, on foot (hiking), or even whitewater rafting.
