Did 6 days at Yellowstone last summer with three kids.
Stayed in West Yellowstone (Buffalo Crossing) for the first 4 nights and rented a minivan to drive into the park each day. Last two nights stayed at Fishing Bridge. West Yellowstone will allow you some decent dinners out and other amenities you can't get in the park... but yes, it's a minimum of a 30 minute drive each morning. Though if you go early there is rarely a traffic jam.
This plan worked great for us and allowed us to see both sides of staying in-park and outside.
Just remember, Yellowstone is HUGE and you may be driving for 2-3 hours or more every day. Driving an RV around Yellowstone is a doable, but it's a hassle.
