We go every year with a 34' fifth wheel. We make reservations at Madison the year before, but then move to the first come, first serve sites at Norris campground. Madison refunds our unused nights.
That being said, during mid-week, Norris will fill up by mid-morning on most days. We have friends who are camp hosts at Indian Creek and that campground usually fills after Norris. BUT, it does not allow generators AND the new rule this year is that your entire vehicle length (tow vehicle and camper) must be less than 35'. But it is a quiet campground, closer to Mammoth and then from there on to the Roosevelt junction and the Lamar valley. It is however, a bit far from the thermal features south. Maybe 45-60 minutes to Old Faithful from there.
Hope this helps.
