Thanks everyone for your thoughtful suggesdtions! I really like the idea of Colter Bay and then heading to West Yellowstone. Going west was never on my radar, but looks like there are many campgrounds with hookups. We are traveling in a Jayco hybrid so Fishing Bridge is out. If we start in Colter we can take 80 west and then take 90 back with a stop at Mt. Rushmore and everything that part of country has to offer.
I was a little worried about dry camping because I read so many posts that people were using generators. I don't have a generator and have absolutely no idea how to use it! Haha! We are total rookies, as we just took our maiden voyage to Charleston, SC, a mere 1600 mile voyage. So, you can tell we just want to go!
You can stay without a generator but you have to be conservative with the usage of your power. When we took a two week trip to Canada, and in September no doubt, we did not take our generator for two reasons - 1) we were pretty sure we could find hookup sites anywhere we went, and 2) we were trying to save on weight. Well, as it turned out, the hook up sites we wanted were taken and we much preferred the dry sites. Moral of the story is that we were just fine, but we were conservative with our power and charged with our tow vehicle every day.
