Campgrounds in Yellowstone...to reserve ahead or not?
Today we made reservations for 5 nights at Fishing Bridge Campground in Yellowstone. It will cost $54.45 per night, and they do not accept the Golden Age Pass discount there. The gal I talked to highly discouraged me from 'risking' staying at the campgrounds that don't take reservations. She said that during July we could easily end up not getting a spot.
Fishing Bridge has full hook-ups, which is nice, and the other parks don't. But Mammoth and Norris Campgrounds can both accommodate our size RV (30 ft. travel trailer), AND they would be free (or half-price) because they honor the Golden Age Pass. SO......what is YOUR experience. Would you 'risk' it by staying at a non-reservation campground with a unit our size?
Would appreciate any feedback on obtaining campsites in Yellowstone. The way we look at it, we just hate to spend $54.45 per night when we'll no doubt be gone most of the day touring the park.
