Groceries, Fuel & Where to Eat

Where to stock up, fill up and eat in Island Park and West Yellowstone, with Cheri's picks.

Groceries & supplies

Island Park's small grocery and convenience stores are great for snacks and drinks, basic groceries, ice and firewood, and toiletries, but selection is limited and prices are higher in the mountains.

If you plan to cook, it is smart to shop before you arrive: Idaho Falls, Rexburg and Ashton (Dave's Jubilee is a popular local option) have bigger stores, better selection and lower prices.
