Guide
Grant Village Gas and Service Station is a public fuel and vehicle-service stop on Yellowstone Lake's southwest shore, about 20 miles from Old Faithful. Think of it as a practical resupply stop in the park's southern section, not a sightseeing destination.
The pumps offer unleaded and diesel #2. The shop sells snacks, drinks and ice; you can buy liquid propane and refill bottles here. RV and auto repair and towing are also available. The station is listed as wheelchair accessible.
