Nothing to book until it reopens
Reservoir Campground, Forest Service Road 126, and the surrounding Yellowstone Reservoir day use area are closed while crews remove the Yellowstone Reservoir Dam.
The closure above is the reading. We hold no availability snapshot for this campground, so there’s no thirty-night strip to draw under it.

One email when the agency reopens it, plus More Than Just Parks dispatches. Unsubscribe any time.
We check the agency’s own record once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time it stops saying closed.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.
