Why do they require water and electricity just because they are girls? My daughters were taught how to get by without electronics, limited water, and no electricity. I traumatized them so much as kids, they have continued the tradition with my grand daughter.
Difference is they Travel with their Grandmother/My DW - We are fine but to split her water 5ways - you Couldn't Handle the Trauma......:B.
I can go to Yellowstone on a whim as there are plenty of campsites available when the big crowds aren't there. And when the crowds are there, I don't want to be there anyhow. I've been twice, the first time without reservations with two RVs for five nights at two different locations. The second time for four nights and only made reservations two days out.
I've been all times of the Year - and my 12 times, likely trumps your 2 - so I think I Know YNP.....:S
One of the reasons they limit the number of campsites is it is a way to control the number of people and the impact they cause. To many campsites, to many people, to much impact, and we loose what they are trying to protect.
You do understand it is larger than the state of Rhode Island - Right? RI = 1,000,000 plus people.
So without the Trauma - how would you suggest the NP service handle more or the people it serves? As the Population increases IMHO the Nation is obligated to continue to make these areas available, SOMEHOW.
