The east entrance is fine. I'd skip fishing bridge and go to Grizzly Campground in West Yellowstone.. You'll have a much better stay, Mammoth is my fav in park. If you MUST stay in the park there are better alternatives.

I partly agree, next time we do Yellowstone we will probably do 1/2 time at Fishing bridge and the 1/2 at West Yellowstone. We like the full hookups and we like the location of each campground, on opposite sides of Yellowstone.

Your profile says you are from NE PA. Not knowing where exactly I assumed maybe somewhere around Meadville. That's 1800 miles to Yellowstone east entrance. We just finished a 3 week 5200 mile trip and averaged 50 mph with fuel stops, toilet breaks and lunch breaks. 1800 miles will take you about 36 hours of steady hard driving. We did one day of 14 hours and had to spend the next day recovering. All other days were 8-10 hours.

I drove through Fishing Bridge park just to check it out and DO NOT recommend it as they pack RV's in there like sardines in a can. Not for me but maybe you won't mind it. We went to Yellowstone, I recommend staying in West Yellowstone. It's right at the west entrance and is a nice small town with everything you need. We stayed at the Buffalo Crossing RV Park. All we needed was within walking distance.

Hope this helps.

Fishing Bridge is tight but it's not the end of the world.... In the end you are literally there just enough time to sleep before you go out to explore again. Now if you want to set out your chairs and rug and bbq and hang out then yeah it's probably not the place for you.... Because your truck will be parked 5 feet from your campers steps.

Here's a video of Buffalo Crossing. At least Fishing Bridge has trees.
