Old Faithful?

Most idiots see the geyser as just another tourist attraction like an animated stop at Disneyland. It makes me almost cry when they clap at Nature's majesty.

On the other hand, perhaps we are expressing appreciation to the One who created it. :) (Or just being funny - which I was when I was 22.)

On another tack, a lot of people get Old Faithful Inn and Old Faithful Lodge mixed up. Both of them exist: Old Faithful Inn is the iconic log structure - and I agree, it is worth seeing just on its own. So glad the firefighters (with help from Idaho farmers) were able to save it from the fires in 1988!! It's irreplaceable. Built in 1904, it's the second-oldest continuously operating hotel in the park.

I hope you are going there to see more than Old Faithful. Suggest searching this Forum for `yellowstone' to read what others have stated. We liked the two bus tours. We also like the book `Tracking the Spirit of Yellowstone' written by a former part-time Ranger.

JULY/AUGUST 2017

I just mentioned Old Faithful as a reference point. We plan on spending a few days in the park (40 day cross country trip planned).

It looks like West Yellowstone Grizzly RV park is our best bet.

Thanks for the input!

I made reservations at Fishing Bridge back in may for July 2017. I got a 45ft spot. it may too late now for July next year at FB. maybe the others will have available spots.

Good luck!

We like Buffalo Crossing in West Yellowstone

better make reservations as soon as possible.
that's the peak time for visitors.

personally, i would never visit Yellowstone that time of the year.
the crowds and traffic are insane then.

Call them, you will have better luck, doesn't hurt to ask. Not sure they can accommodate a rig your size but I do know they have double sites where you unhook and pull your TV right next to your rig. I know the dates we were looking at on the website said that they were full, I called after someone here suggested I do so and sure enough not only did they have a site for me but the days too. The lady was really nice, nothing like Reserve America, this lady told me everything, even suggested what gate to come in at. good luck
