Amazing National Park Tour. It’s the way to travel if you want to see a lot in a short period time. It also allows you to be as active as you want; you are given many opportunities to hike within the national parks. And of course, you have a great guide and have the opportunity to meet other passengers who are on the trip that are high energy and fun to be around because, they too, have similar interests as you.Show more

  What camping gear is supplied (tent, sleeping pad, etc.), and what am I expected to bring myself?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  I noticed a "pot" contribution is mentioned. Is there a cook/guide preparing meals, or am I buying and cooking my own food? If the latter, are there supermarkets or stores along the route where we'd stop to shop?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  Given it can get cold at night in this region in September, what clothing/gear would you recommend? Is snow a realistic possibility on this departure?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  I'm assuming the single supplement covers a private room on all hotel nights (nights 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10). Can you confirm?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  I understand there's an additional fee for non-US residents, which applies to me. Could you tell me the total amount and when it's due?

  Traveler•Written September 2026
  Beyond optional excursions, are there any other costs I should budget for (e.g. park entry fees, the "pot" contribution, tips/gratuities)?

  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  How many people are currently booked on this departure, and what's the typical group size this time of year?
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  For the camping nights, you will have your own individual tent and our guide will assist with the camping setup. You do not need camping experience.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  The tent and basic camping equipment are provided; please bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping pad unless otherwise noted on your booking.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  You won't be expected to shop and cook all your meals yourself. Local food kitty payment of $300 per person – covers 8 breakfasts, 11 lunches, 8 evening meals plus one hotel night in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas twin share excluding local resort fees. If the Camp/Lodge mixed option is selected, the Food Kitty is $200 and covers 5 breakfasts, 11 lunches, 5 evening meals plus one hotel night in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas twin share.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  For September, we recommend warm layers, a fleece/insulated jacket, long pants, comfortable walking shoes and a rain jacket. Yellowstone can be quite cold at night, and while snow isn't normally expected, it is possible at higher elevations.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  The single supplement price provides your own private hotel room on all hotel nights. You will have your own tent on camping nights.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  Non-residents will be subject to additional fees. The America The Beautiful Pass cost $250.00USD and covers the entrance fee and up to 3 additional adults traveling together. This is the best option. We recommend guests wait until the day of departure to see if there are any other non-resident guests that would like to split the cost of the pass. We are not authorized to coordinate this ourselves. The other option is to pay an individual non-resident entry fee of $100.00USD per adult, per park that applies.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  Additional costs to budget for are also listed below. Tour Guide Gratuities not included $275 per person is the recommended amount for this tour.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  This tour is currently near full capacity. Space is limited since we only accept a maximum of 13 guests per tour.

  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  since I'll be travelling solo, it would help to know how many people are currently booked on the September 13th departure, and if possible, a general sense of the group's demographics (age range, solo travellers vs couples/groups, nationalities, etc.)?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written September 2026
  I'll be travelling with a 40L duffel bag, weighing roughly 10-15kg. Given its compressed size, would it be possible to carry my sleeping bag as a separate small bag/stuff sack outside the main duffel, rather than packed inside it?
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  The September 13th departure is almost full. There are other solo travellers booked.
- Bindlestiff ToursOperator•Written September 2026
  Each guest is allowed up to 44lbs (20kg) of luggage to be brought on tour plus a daypack/backpack. Luggage rides in a locked and covered travel trailer towed behind the main vehicle while you can bring your daypack/backpack onboard and on hikes/activities with you. As long as what you bring fits within your luggage allowance, you can bring it however you wish.
