Planning Yellowstone/Teton Trip (from Iowa)

Just did a17 day trip from WI to Yellowstone and Tetons. We stayed at rainbow point national forest for 5 days in west Yellowstone. Fishing bridge is a great location but the campground is a parking lot and I do not regret skipping it after seeing it. It took us 30 minutes to get from the campground to the grand loop. If I were to go back I might try to get one of the other campgrounds in the park that are first come first serve and have reservations someplace else as a back up. I also might spend a few days on the north side an move down to the center for a few more. By the end of the trip I was sick of driving around the park and was looking forward to leaving. I might have felt diffrent if we were not driving so much. We spent three days at the Tetons and I could of used one more. We spent a day at sitting bull in the bighorns which was a great spot and drove through wind river which was cool and just happened to be on the way. Also hit the badlands on the way home which is a must stop if you have time. Also on the way out there we camped at Parkside in red lodge and did the bear tooth highway (did not pull the camper through it). Also worth it. We had a 34 foot tt And some of the spots were tight but we were not the only ones. The one thing I would skip is the corn plalace, Koa there was a crummy and the corn palace was lame. Another stop worth mentioning was deadwood we stayed a full day there. One last thing colter bay in the Tetons is the place to stay. The rv park has full hookups.
