I've been reading and investigating Yellowstone all morning. My trailer is 35' nose to tail (bumper pull). My truck and trailer are 58' combined. Fishing Bridge looks like would be my only option due to the ability to park the truck next to the trailer. It appears the other campgrounds are only single width and would not accommodate my total length. Can some Yellowstone veterans chime in? I'm not even sure Fishing Bridge will work by the wording on their web site:"RV/Vehicle combination, 40' total length or less"Can anyone with experience speak to my sizes and the reservation capable campgrounds at Yellowstone.Thanks

IMHO...there are only a few spaces you'll fit into and they weren't very level...we wouldn't fit anyway but we took the toad through to see what the CG looked like. We enjoyed Grizzly RV CG in West Yellowstone Montana..about 5 miles from the West Entrance. They have lots of things to do for the kids and it's a short walk into town. We came in from the East..(Cody) and exited the West and we are 65' nose to tail so you'll have no problem getting through Yellowstone.....Dennis

We tend to visit Yellowstone at least once a year, often showing friends or family around. The last couple years the "official" line at the reservation desk is that the max length for anyplace but fishing bridge is 40 ft combined length max. There are few spot you could probably fit it, but they hard to find, and in the busy season hard to come by. Of course you can't reserve them either. Also, in the last couple years the park rangers have been driving around ticketing people who have a tire off the pavement be it the RV or the tow vehicle. Years ago I never saw anyone having issues of that sort.

We visited Yellowstone several years ago and stayed in two different campgrounds there. We have a 34 ft 5er. There are not a lot of sites that will accommodate large trailers or for that matter large motorhomes. In one site, we almost didn't get the trailer hooked back up to the truck! If you call for reservations, they will help you find a site that your trailer can fit into. I would cheat a little on the side of caution and give them a length slightly longer than my trailer. Just be aware that there aren't a lot of big sites available.

There were fifth wheels and HD trucks aplenty the last time we were at FB. That was before we bought our 5ver and we had a smaller Trailmanor. But there was an Arctic Fox a couple spots down and the guy had a Dodge HD truck. He filled my ear with the wonders of both his truck and 5ver. But that being said FB was very tight, even with our smaller TT we were just a couple feet from the next campers. We could hear everything that was said in the TT next to us. If we had slides I don't know if we could have put them out. I didn't notice that some sites were bigger, maybe in the back section. We were in the area nearest the road and I didn't look at the other area further in. So there were lots of 5vers in the CG and trucks were parked helter-skelter. But maybe they've tightened up the rules. This was three years ago when we were there last time.BK

I think I just need to firm up the dates for next year and call in for reservations. I just called a friend of mine who claims there are some bigger sites at Canyon, Madison and Grant but you have to call in to get them. He said there are some double sites at these locations. I can't find any thing about it so I may just call and see what they have to say. I don't need hookups and would prefer NOT to stay at FB. I just need a spot! I am coming from the West so Grizzly RV CG is definitely an option.
