Bridge Bay has more than 400 sites loosely scattered among lodgepole pines on the lake's western shore. It is a good base for the Hayden Valley and the Fishing Bridge area, and the marina next door rents boats and runs scenic cruises. Reservations go through the park's lodging concessioner rather than Recreation.gov.
