For the Tetons, I recommend Gros Ventre campground on the south side of the park, near Jackson. It has water and a dump station, lots of shade and flush toilets, no showers.
For Yellowstone, treat yourself to the full hookup Fishing Bridge, but be aware that this campground is mostly a parking lot, and they cram you in there pretty close to each other, but you're out sightseeing most of the day.
Then changing campgrounds...go up to Tower for a couple/3 days and drive out the NE gate to Cooke City and drive the Beartooth highway to Red Lodge MT.
Then move on down to Madison and take in Old Faithful, etc.
But make reservations for the Yellowstone campsites as early as you can.
