Seeing yellowstone on foot?
I've been reading the past threads on Yellowstone here, and people keep talking about long scenic drives. But I don't like to do that -- I like to drive to where I am camping, and then leave the van ...

I'm curious, why the aversion to driving to trail heads in the park?
I just don't like to take down and set up camp every day. The van is small, so when I am camping I put stuff in the drivers seat and in front of the windows, which I have to move again in order to drive. I keep some equipment outside locked to the van, so I have to move that. I have to level the van again before sleeping. It's just a lot of bother.
As someone said earlier, Old Faithful isn't near campgrounds.
Maybe you could plan the first and last days of your trip to park at a trailhead and explore nearby trails when once you are setup? There are tons of geysers in the Old Faithful area. The day you break camp, do so early and drive to Old Faithful and spend the day hiking that area. Pick something else for day you setup allowing time to get setup before dark.
