Renting camp gear near Grant Village campground

Hi,

We are planning to tent-camp for one night at Yellowstone on the coming long weekend. Are there any places nearby where we can rent stuff from? for e.g. sleeping bags/pads, stoves etc.

We are a bunch of guys driving from Seattle. I am trying to find ways to reduce the luggage we have to carry from here.

Thanks,

Subir

Renting camp gear near Grant Village campground

Subir- There is no place to rent camping equipment within Yellowstone. There is one place I know of in Jackson, WY - Leisure Sports Outdoor Rentals (307) 733-3040. There is no one in West Yellowstone that I know of. I checked with Xanterra (the company that manages camping reservations). There are plenty of camping spots left yet for this weekend.

Just a head%26#39;s up. It has been chilly at night...mid 30%26#39;s so bring some warm clothes.

Ok. Thanks. I have read that there is a store close to the campground. Does the store stock firewood?

Also, any comments about the restaurant close to the campground?

ok. i am back from my Yellowstone trip and can report that the store near the Grant Village campground does have firewood. In fact it is like a mini-Safeway :) It has a small grocery section where you can find fruits etc. The cold storage contains chicken, sausages etc.

And Village Grill, the restaurant near the campground is also decent. Its more like a deli.

Thanks..

Hi!

Did you end up renting camping gear or take your own?

It is hard to find camping equipment rentals near the park. You CANNOT rent camping equipment within Yellowstone Park, West Yellowstone, Gardiner, Livingston, or Big Sky, Montana. But, you can rent an RV at Big Boys Toys in Bozeman, Montana.
