We're planning our 1st trip to Wyoming and Montana in August with our 30' travel trailer. 1st stop for about 10 days in the Yellowstone / Teton area and then a couple weeks in the Glacier National park area. We looking for recommendations for camp grounds in the Yellowstone / Teton area. Would want water and 30 amps electrical. Thanks for any thoughts.

For Yellowstone, stay in the park itself for the best experience. Fishing Bridge RV has hookups.For Grand Teton, Colter Bay RV in the park is best.

For Yellowstone you would need to stay in West Yellowstone to get a selection of RV parks with hook ups. Inside the park the only CG with hookups is Fishing Bridge RV park. For Grand Teton I have always stayed at Gros Ventre at the south end of the park and 10 minutes from Jackson. They now have sites with power.

Grizzly RV Park, West Yellowstone. Look it up on rvparksreview.

Grizzly RV Park for Yellowstone NP and Colter Bay for the Tetons.

We did it in early June but it was a lot of miles.

Last night read on YNP site, 3 hour drive West Yellowstone to Lamar Valley which is the best wildife area. Six hours of the day just to get there and back doesn't sound good to me.

Actually the Town of West Yellowstone doesn't allow campfires.

In 2015 we did 7 days in Yellowstone(fishing Bridge) and 2 days in Tetons(Flag Ranch), both were full hookups. Loved both.

If I had 10 days again I would do, 3 days in the Tetons(Gros Vente), 4 days(Fishing Bridge) and 3 days(Grizzly West Yellowstone).

Gross Vente: Location to Jackson, Tetons and appears to be a lovely csmpground
Fishing Bridge: Location, Location, Location and in the morning til 9:30 am you are pretty much alone
Grizzly: One again location and appears to be a nice campground.

Just my thoughts,

Dean

We're headed to Yellowstone at the end of May, after researching long and hard, we decided on Colter Bay and Madison for inside the park. Fishing Bridge does not allow camp fires, all the other campgrounds inside the park do. From what it sounds like we will be too tired for a fire at night, fine with us.

What is there to do in Glacier for 2 weeks unless you are a very hard core hiker? I would think more time at YNP and GT

Agreed. In the park itself are some strenuous hikes but the easier ones won't keep you busy for 2 weeks.

X2 or is it X3?

Lots of people say traveling back and forth to west Yellowstone is wasted. But I have gotten some of my best pictures on that trip. Bald eagles and bison and grizzlys all driving in or out of the park. The river runs right next to the road so you have loads of wildlife around.

NOT wasted time, stay in the town of West Yellowstone at Grizzly, you will NOT be disappointed.
