No one sits at camp all day at Yellowstone. But MOST people who go there want to be immersed in it's natural beauty 24/7. That's why all 400+ dry camping sites at Bridge Bay were taken when we were there -- yet we had no trouble getting into Fishing Bridge at 6pm, on a holiday weekend, without a reservation. It appears that many would rather step out of their camper and see trees, water and buffalo -- instead of a wall of other RVs. I know I certainly would.

When we go back we will try a different CG and I also love being farther away from others and seeing nature as close to nature as we can get BUT to slam Fishing Bridge because it has small sites and it's really not for "camping" is doing a disservice to those that are asking about it. The forest in front of our site looked pretty up close and personal and a whole lot like the forest through out the rest of the park.

And for those that need hook ups for cPAP machines (like my DH) may not have a choice. We're good for a couple of nights without running the gen to recharge bats but will need to do so before the 3rd night. Then you've got to deal with the gen haters who shoot daggers at your & your site even when you run it in the time frame. I don't like hearing gens either so I understand... sorry drifting from the topic.

And drifting a bit farther from the topic.. We camped in Theodore Roosevelt Nat Park in late July. AMAZING place. We had our own herd of buffalo in camp on our campsite and a wild stallion that cruised through our campsite a couple of times. We were sort of trapped in the Jeep when we got back to camp one evening for 15 minutes or so while the buffalo herd moved through.
