Dailey Lake sits about two-thirds of the way between Livingston and Gardiner – the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The Dailey Lake Campground is a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to camping near the park. The campground is set up for dry camping, so don’t expect any hookups for your rental RV while you’re here. The only amenities Dailey Lake has to offer are some fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets – you must carry your own drinking water or filter it from the lake. Feel free to bring your four-legged friend, though, as this is one of the pet-friendly campgrounds near Yellowstone National Park.You won’t need to worry about traffic when you’re camping at Dailey Lake; the campground is about 20 minutes' drive from Highway 89, so noise won’t be a problem. What you will get is an uncrowded lake with ample stocks of rainbow trout and walleye (be sure to get a state license if you’re going to fish for them though). While it might feel somewhat isolating to stay at such a rustic campground far from the highway and urban amenities, your doubts will evaporate as night falls, and you see the stars with perfect clarity.
