Two parks are live below as a first real pass -- the actual in-park campgrounds, the actual historic lodge, and the actual gateway town for each, sourced from the National Park Service and Recreation.gov rather than guessed at. The other 61 parks are next, the same way -- real names and real links before anything goes live, never a placeholder dressed up to look finished.
Zion's main drive-in campground, along the Virgin River near the visitor center and the shuttle stop. Reservable through Recreation.gov.
Zion's other in-canyon campground, an easy walk to the shuttle. Seasonal -- closed part of the year, so check open dates before counting on it.
The only lodging inside Zion Canyon itself -- hotel rooms and cabins a shuttle stop from the main trailheads. Operated by Xanterra.
Right outside the south entrance, walkable to the shuttle stop -- the town to base out of when the campgrounds and lodge are full, which is often.
One of Yellowstone's year-round drive-in campgrounds, near the North Entrance and park headquarters. Reservable through Recreation.gov.
A smaller, quieter Yellowstone campground near Mammoth Hot Springs. Reservable through Recreation.gov -- check the current season's open dates.
Yellowstone's landmark log-and-timber lodge, steps from Old Faithful itself. Operated by Xanterra -- book well ahead, this one sells out fastest.
The main gateway town on Yellowstone's west side, closest to the West Entrance and the widest range of in-town lodging.
Every other park gets the same four categories, built the same honest way -- real campgrounds, the real in-park lodge where one exists, and the real gateway town. Once a handful more are live, each park's own page will carry a "Where to Stay" section directly, not just this hub.
The official NPS-run campgrounds inside each park, with what to know before you book one.
The historic lodges inside the parks that have one -- often the first thing to sell out.
The towns just outside each park's entrance, and which ones are actually worth staying in.
Where a real roof and a real bed exist near the parks that have them.
