Carbella Fishing Access Site

Carbella Fishing Access Site is a free, first-come, first-served BLM recreation area on the upper Yellowstone River featuring 15 campsites (14-day limit), a boat ramp, vault toilets, picnic tables, and grills—making it a popular take-out point for Yankee Jim Canyon floaters and a base for wade fishing.

Located 20 miles north of Gardiner off US 89, the site accommodates RVs up to 35 feet and offers direct river access with ample parking, though it has no water, trash service, or firewood available.
