We stay at an RV Park in West Yellowstone and drive into the park ... spend some time there
We have, on more than one of our many trips there. I wouldn't refer to someplace as a tourist trap if I didn't have first hand knowledge.
If you want to see bears and wolves in a cage, go to the local Zoo. They serve ice cream at the shops around the park. There are very good movies about the park in the visitor centers that are no charge. There are some very nice restaurants throughout the park. If you need groceries stock up at the Walmart in Cody or the multiple large grocery stores in Jackson on the way into the park. Heck, you could even make a trip out to West Yellowstone for some of the limited grocery stores there.
Most who visit Yellowstone spend very little time actually at their campsite. There is simply too much to see and do there. Don't waste your valuable time traveling in and out every day.
