Yep, we loved the look of Valley View, much, much better than the in town parks. And the whole reason for being in that area is to enjoy the area, not a town. I can go a lot of places to enjoy a town, Yellowstone isn't one of them. But having spent an entire season there, I would like the convenience of being in town, and the ability to escape three days out of the week for 4-5 months will be well with putting up with the town on workdays.
Passing through or spending a week or so there now I would never camp in town. But I get why some people do, I think my wife would have a different opinion actually, and that gets "some" consideration!!!! hahaha Everybody is different in what camping/RVing means to them, to me it is traveling to an area and enjoying the area for at least a month, Yellowstone for example, we had been there a few times before, and spent 4 months there last year, and we are not done yet. We may actually look at property this year for a summer cabin, not sure I could get tired of that area. I didn't go into the park much at all during the peak times, mid-July thru late August, spent that time mostly west of the park in the nat'l forests and such. Just an incredible summer, and really looking forward to repeating it again this year!!
