Campground availability in Yellow Stone NP
I found a web site that shows what time the CG's inside the park fill up. We are leaving this Friday. Is there a telephone number that you can call when you get close to the park to see what sites are...

There are message boards at each entrance that show what campgrounds have availability. What the boards do not show are how many spaces are available and what they will accommodate. There are no phone numbers for the non reservable locations. The reservable sites are managed by Xanterra, who is the concessionaire for park lodging. Waiting in line for a site to open is not my idea of fun. I would make a reservation wherever you can get one and go from there.
There is no place in Yellowstone close to everything else, so where you stay is less important than getting the amenities you may need. Only Fishing Bridge has power and water, some other campgrounds have showers and dump stations. Some sites do not allow generators at any time, others have restrictions. Some locations are mosquito factories, some are densely wooded and some are very difficult to navigate with anything other than a small B or C. You trip is going to be much more enjoyable if you have done your homework.
