Showers at Yellowstone?

[uchwear]

Has anyone here camped at Yellowstone in the park?  I don't have a problem with having no hookups but where do you shower?  I don't think there are any showers at the campgrounds.  We don't have one in our pup.

This is the case in pretty much all the National Parks (as far as I know). We use a couple of solar showers (bags in which you use the sun to heat the water) and a shower shelter (a plastic shower curtain sort of thing that gives you privacy). We also have a large, flat rubbermaid container that we keep this stuff in. I attached non-slip rubber things on the inside of the rubbermaid container. We stand in this container while we shower in order to catch the used water. This gray water must be properly disposed of.

When we were there, the Grant Village had pay showers and a laundry mat.  That is where everyone came to get cleaned up.  We were staying at the motels there, but we still had to do laundry.  I believe that is the only place to take showers.

I agree with HerscheyGirl.

National parks seem to have one central shower and laundry room.  Found the same thing at Yellowstone (a long time ago) and at the Grand Canyon (a few years ago).

If I remember right, they are a bit on the pricey side but laundry rooms and shower rooms were very clean.

Acadia National Park does not have showers in the park.  Low water flow.  There is a private shower place just outside of the park.

There are showers at Grant Village and at Mammoth Hot Springs at the old hotel - I forget the name.  The showers at Grant are nicer.
