A great place to stay for families that like to hang out together. We had a family of 9 with 7 adults and 2 children. Creekside has a game room/sitting area where we hung out after a day of activities. I was not able to find this type of space at any of the facilities in Yellowstone. Staying at Creekside was like going camping but having a comfortable bed, shower, nice room and other amenities. It is located on national park land and once you drive into the property, you feel like you're in the woods, because you are. Creekside is 10 miles from Yellowstone's east entrance and about 35 miles to Fishing Bridge (almost an hour drive) but it's worth the drive. At Creekside, they have two very good gas grills, a microwave and an electrical outlet where you can "cook" if you so desire and eat on the deck or in the game room. My wife still likes to be the "mom" and wanted to cook for her family, and so she did. With an electric skillet and hot plate which my wife brought, she was able to prepare some meals for the kids enjoyed. The lodge dining room serves breakfast and dinner if you so desire, and they're remarkably good. It was great returning to the lodge in the evenings to get away from the noise and the crowds in Yellowstone. Diane and Chris were very friendly and helpful to us which enabled us to do everything we wanted. The five nights at Creekside were great and we look forward to going back.
