Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone
We just made our reservations for early June at Fishing Bridge. We are excited that we will be staying inside the park to take full advantage of everything there is to see. I guess we can plan on so...

Nearly everyone who needs cell service leave the park to get it
This statement is about as wrong as you could get. While cell service is not available in the Fishing Bridge campground, there is service nearby just to the east and at Canyon Village area.
To top that off, anyone saying that West Yellowstone is closer to the attractions is once again wrong. It is outside the park and one must drive back and forth through the animal jams each day.
Yellowstone is huge and requires much patience in driving around.

Keith is right on all counts! We spent 10 days in Fishing Bridge last August and found Verizon service in several places in the park and not too far from Fishing Bridge. Also, Fishing Bridge is about as centrally located as you can get for touring the entire park. You're going to be driving a lot no matter where you stay but it's certainly much less mileage staying inside the park! Yes, the campground is tight but it's not like you're going to be spending much time there for it to matter!
If you have time I highly recommend that you drive out the Northeast entrance and drive the "Beartooth Highway"! It's a beautiful drive. We left Fishing Bridge about 7am one morning, drove out the NE entrance to the Beartooth Highway, had lunch in Red Lodge, MT and then took back roads down to Cody, WY and entered Yellowstone again via the East entrance. We arrived back at our rig about 7pm. Long day but well worth it! It was faster to go back via Cody than backtracking our drive.
We can't wait to go back to Yellowstone! Awesome park!
