CG outside Yellowstone

We stayed at Grizzly; probably the most beautifully landscaped park we've ever stay at out side of Disney World.

It is doable, especially if you camp west of Cody which puts you closer to the park. We stayed at Yellowstone Valley Inn & RV which was about half way from Cody. It has full hookups and gravel spots and roads. But it also has a decent restaurant which was great after a long day sight seeing.
Grizzly, which Dick mentioned, is outside the west entrance if you want to travel thru the park to reach it.

I was looking at Green Creek Inn and RV park west of Wapiti looks to be 29 miles from entrance to Park.

Staying outside YS you will spend half your days driving into and out of YS. Best plan is to stay inside so you spend less time driving to the sights. My opinion because we stayed outside YS at West Yellowstone campground. Next time we will stay inside. Have a safe and fun trip! YS is awesome!

But that's not 29 miles at 60 mph. Plus, that's just to the park entrance. It's an hour just to get to Fishing Bridge and all the major sights are beyond that point. (Speed limits in the park are mostly 35-40 mph and you'll often be going much less than that because of traffic). You'll be spending 3-4 hours a day just "commuting" to your destination that day. IMHO, I'd opt to stay in West Yellowstone. I'm guessing all the sites in the park are reserved by now?

Do you realize that it is almost 120 miles from Cody to Old Faithful. Yellowstone is HUGH....I would plan on staying nearer the action.

I hope while you are near Cody that you go see the Buffalo Bill museum....oft touted as the Smithsonian of the West...

Cody about 70 miles from the park entrance but lots to see in Cody. Best restaurant is Chop shop for dinner. Irma for breakfast. JMHO.

I would go to YNP website and try to reserve a site at Fishing Bridge.You'll be doing a lot more sight seeing and a lot less driving. That equals a much more enjoyable trip

Fishing Bridge RV Campground is inside Yellowstone National Park and has full hookups.
