Grand Teton then Yellowstone
I am looking for some campground suggestions on a trip that my wife and I are planning for August 2014. I have read through many past posts on this topic and believe that I am beginning to get a feel ...

We've stayed in Colter Bay campground (not the full hookup RV park which is right next door) and Gros Ventre. It would be pretty unlikely that you'll have to use your furnace in August, but possibly (you know the weather). Colter Bay is in a forest and further from the town of Jackson if you wanted to do anything there. Gros Ventre has trees but it's more open with mountain views. If you pulled into either one early morning you'd get a site. They each have 300 campsites. Stay nearby the previous night.
Yellowstone: Fishing Bridge is not a parking lot. It's full of trees. We've seen many other RV parks that are just gravel with no trees. That's what I'd call a parking lot. Yes, the sites are close and that's because of the hookups. This happens in most RV parks. It's just fine for your visit.
We also like Madison which has trees but not a thick forest and Mammoth which also has some trees and has a beautiful valley view. Mammoth doesn't have reservable sites. Madison does but again, we got there early one morning and secured a spot without reservations because they always have cancellations.
With your small trailer you'll have no problems finding sites. Have fun planning!
