This early in the season, you may be more likely to find campsites in/near the park. Grizzly RV is also a good one in West Yellowstone. If you don't need hookups, there are several NFS and NPS campgrounds in the Tetons. Agree with the suggestion of entering Yellowstone through the west and exiting south, in order to head to Colorado Springs. It will be a LONG drive from Jackson to the Springs, but do-able.
CGs in Riverton and Lander, southeast of Jackson (haven't been there so I can't offer any recommendations), also in Rawlins WY. Not much to look at (the Rawlins CGs) but decent services.
