Think outside the box. There are lots of places to stay outside Yellowstone on the North and West sides. Same with the Grand Canyon on the North side. Your timing is good for outside the normal travel times, usually ending with Labor Day, but weather may play into your plans. Years ago I spent the week after Labor Day in the South end of the Park. Our second day we had a ranger warn us about snow, and if we didn't leave we would not have any help from them if we got snowed in. We were gutsy kids and took the risk, no problems. Five or so years ago, same weekend friends got caught in a storm and paid over $500 to be towed out.
