AuntEthel: Yes, you 'could' tour Yellowstone from Colter Bay but it would involve a LOT of slow driving miles and a very long day. That's really not the way to see Yellowstone. Try to get reservations at Fishing Bridge RV in Yellowstone itself. They have full hookups. If you only have a few days to spend in Yellowstone it's better than none.
Also, there are many campgrounds that don't accept reservations but you'd need to arrive at them between 9-11am if you can - when folks are leaving. This would be doable if you're staying in Colter. They are, however, dry camping which you said you are leery about doing. Give it a try for a couple nights. It's a cinch. Just have your water tank filled before you go and your holding tanks empty. Conserve water and electric usage and you'd be just fine for a couple nights. Here's a link to Yellowstone campgrounds:
