Beware of some of special aspects of the campgrounds inside Yellowstone. For example, Slough Creek and Pebble Creek are both in the Lamar Valley and neither allow any generators at any time. Also, this winter was a big snow winter and that translates into mosquitos that often resemble black clouds of death. They are so bad this year that I am really surprised we haven't seen or heard of anyone who has had every drop of blood drained from their bodies by them. I was up fishing the upper meadows of Slough Creek and headnets, long sleeves, gloves and Deet were much more important than fly selection. I always set up my rig on the highest ground I can find, a long way from any water. Even though staying next to a stream or lake sounds sexy, being eaten alive is not.
