Do the Yellowstone campgrounds get more crowded on weekends or are all days the same? Off season most of our state parks get crowded on weekends but are deserted during the week. If I were to try for a site at Norris on a Saturday in mid Sept, how early do I need to be there? I'm at Canyon the night before. And if I try to get in Mammoth?
I can't swear what Norris is like, but many of the larger campgrounds in Yellowstone start closing off sections in September. If I were you I'd check at the station in Canyon as you leave and ask if there's space at Norris. Chances are there will be, but it's easier to check ahead. If Norris is full, you can be directed to others with space.
