Sleeping
Considering the number of motel signs, there is precious little variety in accommodations.
Expect hefty discounts during the off-season (October, November, and mid-March-June).

Camping
Tent camping in town means cramming between rows of powered-up RVs. For more
breathing space, don't forget the national forest campsites on Hebgen Lake.

Bakers Hole Campground $
(sites without/with electricity $16/22; mid-May-mid-Sep) The nearest Forestry Service
campground has 73 pleasant sites on the banks of the meandering Madison River, just 3
miles north of West Yellowstone.
