Got an email regarding our reservations at Yellowstone. The Park is starting to reopen.
“June 22, 2022
Dear Yellowstone National Park Lodges guests,
As you may have seen in recent news reports, record flooding in and around Yellowstone National Park has caused significant damage to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. We have been advised by the National Park Service that the southern loop road, along with the East, South, and West entrances of Yellowstone National Park are planned to reopen on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. This date could change depending on direction from the National Park Service, which may be related to weather and/or other factors.
As a result, with the exception of Canyon Lodge & Cabins, Canyon Campground, and Madison Campground,** we are currently planning to reopen our in-park operations, including lodging, campgrounds, food services, gift shops, tours, etc. on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. We will update our operational hours and services here as they are available. (Mammoth Hotel and Roosevelt Lodge lodging, restaurants, tours/activities, and gift shop are closed for the season.)
Guests with valid lodging, campground, and tour/activity reservations for arrival on or after June 22, 2022, at Old Faithful Inn, Old Faithful Snow Lodge, Old Faithful Lodge, Grant Village, Lake Yellowstone Hotel, Lake Lodge, Grant Campground, Bridge Bay Campground, Fishing Bridge RV Park, and Bridge Bay Marina can enter the park on the days of their stay and/or activities with proof of their valid/active reservations. (A cancelled reservation will not qualify for park entry outside the Alternating License Plate system.)
It is highly recommended that you either have a printed copy of your reservation confirmation or have your confirmation saved to your phone for ease of park access. Internet connectivity and cell phone service can be unreliable at entrance stations.
**Canyon Village will initially reopen on June 22 for day use only (food service, gifts, tours). Canyon Village lodging, Canyon and Madison campgrounds are projected to reopen on June 29. (Infrastructure damage and repair work at Canyon Village has resulted in the delay of opening full operations until at least June 29.)
Guests with valid reservations for arrival on/after June 29 at Canyon Lodge & Cabins, Canyon Campground and Madison Campground can enter the park on days of their stay with proof of their valid/active reservations.
If you choose to cancel your reservations, you may do so online or by calling our Central Reservations Office at 307-344-7311. Because our Central Reservations call center is experiencing very high call volumes, please expect longer hold times. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Please note: The park is reopening the south loop with new visitor management measures instituted. You can find details on the plan, and the Alternating License Plate System (ALPS) for park entry here. The ALPS does not apply to guests with valid in-park lodging, campground and/or tour/activity reservations for the dates of these reservations. It is essential that our guests have their valid Yellowstone National Park Lodges reservation confirmation available to present at the park entrance station to avoid any entry delays. If you plan to enter the Park on days in which you do not have in-park reservations, the ALPS will apply!
If you’re still planning to visit Yellowstone this summer, we strongly suggest you regularly check the Yellowstone National Park Flood Recovery webpage and road report. You can also call the road report at 307-344-2117. You can also find gateway community information by clicking on the following links for Cody, WY, 307-586-1574 (East entrance), Jackson, WY (South entrance), West Yellowstone, MT (West entrance), Cooke City, MT (Northeast entrance), and Gardiner, MT (North entrance). We recommend that guests and visitors regularly check the status of the North and Northeast entrances as both will remain closed until further notice.
We understand why you might want to postpone your Yellowstone trip. With that in mind, if you still intend to travel this summer, you may want to consider alternative National Parks and vacation ideas from our sister travel brands.
We are very sorry for this situation and its impact on your travel plans and thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely, Yellowstone National Park Lodges
