Yellowstone National Park is a world-renowned wilderness and recreation area that features spectacular natural scenery made up of hot springs and gushing geysers, alpine rivers and dense forests, majestic mountains, and dramatic canyons. Spanning more than 3,500-square miles across three states, the park is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to the famous gushing geysers known as Old Faithful, as well as a wealth of fauna and flora.
Deciding where to stay in such a vast park can be daunting so it’s a good idea to determine how many days you plan on exploring the park for, where you plan to go, and how far in advance you are making your reservations. This can make booking the perfect place to stay in Yellowstone much easier.
Keep in mind that accommodation inside the park sells out extremely far in advance, so make sure you book early. If you can’t manage to book lodging in Yellowstone, there are plenty of excellent accommodation options just outside of Yellowstone with easy access to the park.
