Well it looks like the Fishing bridge haters have arrived.

Most seem to talk about how miserable it is in the campground. Well, if you are looking for a campground to just hang out in, there are better options. If , however you are like most who travel to Yellowstone, the campground is not what you come to see. The actual time most will spend in the campground is eating dinner and sleeping. Most get up early, take a lunch with them, spend all day out in the park and return for dinner. Then it is out again to view animals in the evening or Ranger presentations at the many campfire programs, then back to get cleaned up and off to bed in preparation for the next day.

Fishing Bridge stays full for the most of the summer for a very good reason, convenience. If you don't like it, thanks for staying away and leaving room for those who do.

Totally agree! If you want to "camp" (hang around the campground all day), it's not for you. When I'm in Yellowstone, I'm out seeing the park from early in the morning 'til late in the evening. When I get back want a place with hookups to charge camera, phone, etc for the next days outing! Love this Park!!!

You guys crack me up. :R Just because someone doesn't want to camp in an RV Park doesn't mean they're sitting around at camp all day. WE spend all day hiking, exploring, sightseeing and geocaching, always taking off after an early breakfast and returning for a late dinner.

We were gone from around 9am - 7pm every day in Yellowstone. When we got back to camp we didn't watch TV and play with electronics. Instead we got a fire going and prepped a gourmet meal, which we cooked outdoors while watching the sunset. After dinner, we enjoyed a glass of wine and each others company, while watching the stars and listening to the sounds of nature. At Norris Campground we watched bison roaming along Gibbon River right from our camp chairs each evening. We have a Class B so phones and cameras charged via the inverter.

To each his own, so if you like Fishing Bridge that's awesome. But for us, the true Yellowstone experience included going to sleep each night and waking up each morning in a real campground. It was as meaningful to us as all the geysers, hot springs and wildlife we saw during the day.
