I have stayed at Fishing Bridge twice and was glad that I did. Once in from the north and once thru the east entrance. I would NEVER stay outside the park in West Yellowstone because of one reason,traffic in the morning coming into the park and traffic going out in the afternoon. The biggest advantage to staying there, besides fuel and a few groceries, if neeeded is that you have a huge head start on sightseeing because you're already in the park and don't have that extra distance to travel. I talked to a guy at Old Faithful, the last time and had spent less time on the road getting there than he did and they came in from West.
It's also nice to be visiting in the campground when you're not dodging bears and wolves. Hee,hee.
I should say that I have stayed there more than these two times because I was there in the mid fifties with my parents and stayed at old Yellowstone campground, which is now the parking lot. Every evening,you heard the cry "bear" as several would run thru the cg. Oh, and we were 5 kids in a 7x7 canvass umbrella tent and my parents slept in the back of the station wagon, or outside if not in bear country.
