Our National Heritage
The people of this nation are told that these parks are the national heritage belonging to the people of this nation, and yet to gain entrance to any National Park, each arriving vehicle must pay a entrance fee of as much as $35.00 for a permit just to get through the gate, and even worst, the permit expires in seven days. Yes, the US government has acquired a total monopoly on all of the national parks.

This is no joke, the national parks are big business for the federal government. It will be so nice with God′s Kingdom controls all of the earth, then God′s people can begin to see these wonders and they will not have to go into excessive debt just for a two week vacation.

Yellowstone National Park Campgrounds

For campgrounds for Yellowstone, Please see the
Camping section below.
Must See National Park
Yes, Yellowstone is a must see park, but be ready to fork out lots of money during the visit.
Accommodations at Yellowstone
Oh, you want to overnight in Yellowston? Do you have a reservation? No, you don′t, well, sorry, we are all booked up, come back next year. Oh, wait, do I have a deal for you, a room in the Old Faithful Inn just came open and it is only $600.00 per night but meals are extra.
So, to accommodate those four million visitors, Yellowstone has created a huge network of hotels, lodges and campgrounds. Personally, I choose to camp because the hotels and lodges are out of my price range. For instance, the least expensive room in Old Faithful Inn, is $150.00 per night and those rooms do not even have a shower. You will have to share the bath room with others on the same floor. There are nine lodge facilities offering over 2000 rooms with prices in Yellowstone Park ranging from $100.00 to as much as $800.00 per night.
Camping in Yellowstone is one way to save money but getting a campsite is another story as some sites require reservations months in advance.
Only a few campsites are non-reservable, but these fill up very quickly, especially during the summer. One good way to insure your camping space is to show up at the campground in the morning, locate and claim your site, put up your tent and then continue your exploration of the park.
