Been to Fishing Bridge many times. Unfortunately it is not much more than a big parking lot with RV's crammed on top of one another. But, it is the only campground in the park with full hookups so that makes it in high demand. No campfires are allowed.
Since it does not get dark at that altitude until say 10:00pm (Summer DST), one can drive around the local area looking for wildlife almost until bedtime (the Hayden Valley, for example).
Other things to do until bedtime are:
Drive over to the Fishing Bridge General Store for an evening Ice Cream;
Head over to the Fishing Bridge Visitor's Center for the evening program;
Visit Lake Lodge or the Historic Lake Yellowstone Hotel (Yellow One) for an evening cocktail or meal.
Note that all of the above are a convenient 10-15 minute drive from Fishing Bridge.
Because of it's proximity to Lake Yellowstone, Fishing Bridge is active Grizzly country. No soft side TT's are allowed for that reason. Also, food must be stowed and not left unattended. We would walk the pups at night, but didn't stray far from the main lighted loops for that reason.
Enjoy. There really is no other place like it in the Lower 48.
