Planning Yellowstone/Teton Trip (from Iowa)
We're beginning our plans for next year and we've settled on YNP and possibly Teton NP. Right now thinking 5 days in YNP and 2 days in TNP. Does that sounds about right? Regarding YNP, looks like...

Ditto GeoBoy's advice. IMO, Colter Bay RV Park is by far the best non-NFS/NPS CG in the Tetons. Grizzly is a lovely park, quite convenient to Yellowstone's west gate. Both have FHUs and can accommodate a larger rig.
Grizzly will be fine for a base camp for Yellowstone. There isn't much on the east side, nothing except Fishing Bridge has hookups anyway. If you don't need hookups, then Bridge Bay might work for you; some of the sites can fit your rig (though many cannot). Yes, there's a lot of driving, but there always is from any location in the park, and better (IMO) than constantly changing campsites.
5 days for YNP and 2 days for GTNP is good. A 4-and-3 mix is good as well, but will give you a noticeably shorter time in YNP to see things.
