It is not a parking lot. To me a parking lot is barren gravel with no trees. This campground is full of trees! Here are some pictures of it:
Fishing Bridge doesn't look like a parking lot in those pictures because there is nobody parking in them. An empty campground looks a lot different from one where there are wall-to-wall trailers and RV's.
I've stayed in every campground in Yellowstone except Lewis Lake and Mammoth and hands-down Fishing Bridge was the most miserable place I stayed. The only reason to stay there would be if you just couldn't dry camp and absolutely needed full hookups.
We definitely dry camp in Yellowstone, too, because we avoid RV Parks.
So, according to your description, ALL RV parks are parking lots because the ones we've seen have row after row of RVs and many times without the numerous trees that Fishing Bridge has so all you're looking at are RVs. We've driven through Fishing Bridge when it was filled and it looked like any other RV park - but, it had many trees. If you need full hookups then that's the place to go for Yellowstone.
