Maria's place was easy to find, easy to park, and close to Yellowstone Park. Maria made it super easy to communicate with her if needed. We were super stoked to have wifi! Really enjoyed seeing the herd of elk on our evening drive back to the camper.

Cedar Creek RV Site
The hosts were great. Very responsive. We got there late at night and they came out with the flashlight to make sure we could set up our electricity. It was right off the road, so easy to find and not far from the entrance of Yellowstone. :)

Close to the north entrance. A little bit of road noise. Don’t expect much at the town of Gardiner.
Restaurants were nothing more than burgers and such. $20 burgers. Campsite was clean and host were great

It was straight forward and basic and got the job done! We were in late and out early, but everything was as the directions said.

Nice wide spot at the end of the driveway. Very quiet and dark at night. Close to YNP.
FHU was great!! There is a tiny home on the next lot but that was of no consequence to us. Way better than a crowded campground!!

We had a reservation for one night but ultimately did not stay there. If you can do without the hookups, there is a really nice Forest Service camp 5 miles away that we were able to get a spot midafternoon. Cost us $5 with Senior Pass. We drove past the site but it did not look very inviting. It is as close to the highway as one can get - and it is a very busy highway this time of year. No shade. Fortunately we have a small unit that did not require a hookup for one night. Just do not feel that this spot is worth the $ unless you absolutely need hookups or wifi and cannot find any place else.

Great stay! Beautiful area in Paradise Valley to leave the camper while we got to go explore Gardiner, hit some Hot Springs, and Yellowstone. Close to everything, and far enough to just be able to enjoy the night stars and be away from the city.

Cedar Creek RV Site
Great spot, very convenient to Gardiner and the north entrance of Yellowstone (about 10 minutes). Gardiner has most things you could need.
There is a trailhead up the road that you can walk to from the spot and the trail goes up to an old dude ranch. I'll warn you that it is more or less a straight climb for the first couple miles though.
Great hosts as well. They made sure we checked out the rodeo while it was in town and made sure we could get in touch with them if necessary (but it wasn't necessary because it is a nice spot!)

This place is great! Super friendly hosts who were happy to tell us about local events and things to do, even gave us some ground elk to try cooking with! Beautiful location within 15 minutes of Yellowstone North Entrance. Will stay again

Would not recommend. Just a gravel driveway along someones house. The only “ campsite” there. No way to contact “host”. She does not respond to e-mails and website has a fake phone number on it. We had 3 days reserved. Left after day 1 and just forfeited our fees.

Wonderful little nook for your camper with very kind and communicative hosts. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking! You can even go on hikes right out of the camper. The place is super neat and clean and it includes full hook-ups. We enjoyed our time at this spot immensely!

Super convenient site that made it possible for quick visits to Yellowstone in the afternoon. A couple of miles down from Yellowstone Hot Springs and close to a quaint town for restocking needs. Internet was strong, which is a must for our family with 2 of us working from our camper and homeschooling. Tiny home neighbors were near but we rarely saw them or heard them, we would definitely stay here again.

Had a great time staying at this site. Everything was exactly as described and the host even stopped by as I was setting up to see if things were OK. As others have mentioned, it is close to the highway but honestly, the traffic noise didn't really bother me. Close to Gardiner, close to the river - great for wildlife viewing! Would stay again.

Our stay: We are a Family of 5 that home schools and is semi-fulltime (9 months a year) and we have stayed at ALL kinds of campsites from coast to coast. This was our first Hipcamp experience and we spent 10 nights here. The only thing we can say is that it’s a wonderful place to stay! Excellent campsite, with excellent hosts and FULL hookups this close to Yellowstone! For the price they are asking, good luck finding ANYTHING better than that because it doesn’t exist.
The site itself: The camping spot EASILY fit our 35ft RV and our car with plenty of space left over for the provided picnic table and our outside cooking desires. The Hipcamp description says that they can accommodate 40ft rigs, but to my eyes bigger than 40ft would fit without any issue. All the utilities were clearly very new, well kept and in perfect working order. All power from the power pedestal passed my surge guard/electrical management system (EMS) without any errors. The site is pretty level with a slight slope towards the road which I assume is for water runoff.
The location: Obviously this is a really a great place to spend time for Yellowstone, but also the entire Paradise Valley area of MT. 10 minutes to Gardiner and Yellowstone is GREAT. We also drove North up the Paradise Valley several times and it’s a perfect location for that too. ~45 minutes to Livingston if you need more supplies than Gardiner can provide or just want to explore the area. Also, do NOT miss the hike to the OTO Ranch right from the site! It’s worth it.
Internet: I work from the road, so I thought I would put some feedback in about this aspect. My phone is AT&T and reception was non-existent. I also have a pretty high-end antenna on the roof feeding a Pepwave modem with AT&T and Verizon Sim cards. Again, the AT&T signal here was ZERO, but I could get okay-ish Verizon in the morning and evening, but speeds during the day were pretty poor. I assume that was tower congestion. The host provided free WiFi that was pretty usable. I could pretty easily do my work and we watched a few movies during our stay.
Negatives? You’ll read it in the other comments, but sure, it’s worth mentioning that you are RIGHT next to HWY 89. We KNEW it would be there when we booked it and during our stay, it just didn’t bother us. So, there you have it, HWY 89 is a stone’s thrown from where you are camping. If that’s going to bother you, I’d probably avoid booking this location. If you can ignore it (or appreciate that the positives outweigh the one negative), then you cannot go wrong staying here.

Loved this site! Site right off highway but low traffic made it quiet at night. No neighbor noise. Conveniently close to Yellowstone north entrance.

Very nice campsite within 10 minutes of Yellowstone. Easy to find and back our motorhome into. We were only about 100 feet off of the road so there was some noise but we anticipated it and it quieted down about 10 pm. I would stay here again sometime.

This is an amazing site. It is on a beautiful creek and you can hear the water rushing through by the site. Very relaxing. The hosts are sweet and welcoming and gave us tips on places to visit based on our interests. It is 10 minutes from Yellowstones North entrance. The nice little town of Gardener has everything you need but, plan well because things close at 9 pm. Will visit again in the future.

A good spot to pop by for a night while in Yellowstone. However if you are looking for privacy this may not be the spot for you as it is not mentioned in the listing but there is a tiny house with people living it about 15 feet away from the RV spot and is not in any of the photos. We believe it should be mentioned in the listing so guests don't think this is a private camping spot.

Great place to stay if you are visiting Yellowstone NP. Just outside of the North Entrance (about 10 Minutes) it is almost as good as staying in the Park. Had Electricity, water and Wi-Fi.

This was our first Hipcamp experience and a wonderful way to start! Maria's place had all of the hookups one could need for an RV and some extra amenities to enjoy our stay. The location is super close to Yellowstone and a doable drive to check out Bozeman too.
