One of our fav places to stay in YNP is in Gardiner. WE love the Northern Tier (from Gardiner to NE Entrance). This is known as the Serengeti of the US and it's true. There's always some animal (fox, wolf, coyote, bear, bison, and any number of other animals) action going on there. We usually stay for 6 weeks, and are never bored of this area. That's why we stay in Gardiner. From Gardiner Hayden Valley isn't far away either. It's not really convenient to the Geo-thermal parts of Yellowstone, but it's not hard to get there either from Gardiner. It's just that it's the animal action we're looking for not so much the Geo-thermal stuff. We stay at Yellowstone RV Park just outside Gardiner. There's another park that's closer, but it's not easy to get into and even though it's closer to the park, I think the view at Yellowstone RV Park is better. You can make reservations on the river which is a lot of fun watching the Osprey and Eagles hunt the river.
They open for reservations April 1 of the year you are staying - So they are making reservations for 2014 now,(starting in April 1, 2014). They would start making reservations for 2015 in April 1, 2015.
They are FHU and wide and you have a nice space for your RV. The showers are clean, laundry is clean and good space to walk your pet. We toured Fishing Bridge and although it's FHU and inside the park, the sites are about as close as you can get and still get an RV in there. We have a 27' trailer & truck, and we would have had problems parking the truck in the limited space available for one site.
