GTNP & Yellowstone NP Camping
Would it be beneficial to camp inbetween these parks in order to see them both and only relocate once?

We spent a week at Colter Bay in Tetons this past summer. A great place. Not a far drive to Yellowstone.
Unless you want to spend your vacation commuting, get a camp spot in or near each park.

Unless you have 3+ weeks to spend in the area and willing to burn time and gas, we recommend you plan to stay in multiple places in/near the Parks. You want to be close enough for the freedom to do what you want when you want. Because we stayed in Yellowstone, we were alerted to a Wolf Mama and 2 pups in the area,drove over to see the Ranger set up...they were gone from view 2 hours later.
We began most days very early, to see roaming wildlife and then great morning light photo's. Then later enjoyed evening and nightfall in each of those Parks. These times produced great memories and photo's.
Enjoy your trip!
