Top 5 Resorts Near Yellowstone Video (HD)

Many visitors to Yellowstone choose stay in the park at one of the many lodges, or at campsites with their vehicles. However, you usually have to book way in advance to get the best spots, so finding the right place to stay near the park can be a make or break aspect for your enjoyment at America's premier national park.
When deciding where to stay near Yellowstone, I look for a couple of things: proximity to the park, comfort and style of the facilities, and activities other than the park that may be available nearby.
Using these criteria, I've compiled a list of my 5 favorite places stay. This list is by no means definitive. I have stayed at places that are very nice that check all my boxes on the list, but to be on this list, there has to be something special about the place that makes it different than anywhere else.
That's why the Best Western in Cody isn't on here, even though it's a great place to stay. Or the Buffalo Bill Cabins adjacent to that property.
So enjoy the video, feel free to ask questions and above all....GET TO YELLOWSTONE NOW!

The Wild Wild West was my favorite T.V. show when I was a kid! Friday nights on CBS. I used to hum the theme song to myself all the time as a kid

Glad to know I wasn't the only one ;)

[@stevefowler1787]

Outstanding video...many thanks...I'm a very recently retired Engineer and Wifey and me are planning a Fla. to Alaska cross country trip next summer and I'd like to spend at least several days in and around Yellow Stone, Cody especially looks intriguing to me and I know wifey would enjoy Glamping (or camping).

There are a couple great places for that near the park.

[@beautifulsunrisesandsunset9066]

Wow, Yellowstone is amazing. Great video!

[@JfCLA]

One of favorite places in the world!

[@evans2429]

Sage Lodge in Pray is also a great resort. Great video.

[@JfCLA]

I hope I get the chance to check it out!

[@sonny1172]

Thank you so much for this video! I just booked a tipi for next May at Trout Lodge. I told the gentleman that I found them through this video! Excited for our stay.

[@JfCLA]

In one if the tipis? Awesome! I think you'll really like it!

[@travelinglovebugs7]

Was it cancelled.

[@sonny1172]

Traveling Love Bugs I had to cancel on them because my Yellowstone campground for the following week got cancelled.

[@travelinglovebugs7]

Sonny sorry to hear that. I hope you can reschedule. We leave for Yellowstone this Sunday. Driving from Washington State...

[@sonny1172]

Traveling Love Bugs yes, I was really bummed! Hopefully we will get to reschedule soon. I hope you have a wonderful trip! We went to your beautiful state last year! Visited Olympic NP, Mount Rainier NP, Seattle and my uncle in Moses Lake.

This is really well-made. How do you only have 3000 subs? The algorithms probably keep you from being seen

[@JfCLA]

I dunno - lol! I'm getting more now, but I agree my content deserves more...Thanks for the view & comment!

[@KS-se8iq]

Gosh I would love to do this.Do you have a friend that needs a companion.I have holidays coming up.Am in New Zealand tho.I loved June lake and Yosemite

[@JfCLA]

June lake AMAZING! I've only been there in the winter time, but it was before the snow, so it was just crisp & clear....I've never been to NZ!

[@gladyssabogal6318]

excellent video friend

[@JfCLA]

Thanks!

[@donpham93]

It is a great video. Which entrance do you recommend for a first time visitor?

[@JfCLA]

Great question, and I'd go with the east entrance if it works out logistically. They're all special in some way, but the approach to the east is through the Wapiti Valley, and THAT is unique. Teddy Roosevelt called it "The most beautiful 50 miles on the planet". And it just might be! When you enter the park, you up along this amazing valley with a perfect blue ribbon of a river meandering through a picturesque valley. I spotted my first Grizzly there (and have spotted one near that entrance every time since).

[@SERGS911]

Where can I find the teepis

[@JfCLA]

They're at the back of the property, down by the river.

[@neethadesilva5747]

Chico resort also has a ghost if you are interested

[@JfCLA]

What?! Seriously? Let's hear!

[@tomaszgraczyk1606]

who is ...a ghost

[@JfCLA]

@Michael Colapietro Wow! I wish I'd known when I was there!

[@alandicho]

Top 5 but I only counted 4.

[@JfCLA]

I included the Absaroka Lodge in the piece about the East Entrance lodges. I didn't give it a separate title card, just a mention and some nice shots to give an idea of it's character. It's very similar to the Shoshone in character and price, so I just included it with it.

[@buffaloman5042]

Just be careful..glamping is still cold and noisy..dont expect to be too comfortable

[@JfCLA]

We went in June and it was chilly at night, but not too bad if you wear a cap!

[@Pixics]

I hear yellowstone can go down to 28 degrees. We got an airbnb cabin, the only problem is that it was 2 hours from yellowstone.

[@mssayles3082]

You need to remove your video on areas for camping...the area being evacuated...do to its volcano waking up & the many small earth quakes...

[@tammymartinez7488]

ms sayles wth????

[@JfCLA]

Thank you
