I am assuming that the OP wants a FHU CG that he should go to his closest Camping World and purchase a copy of “Good Sams RV Travel and Savings Guide” the campers “Bible” long before the I’net. Then lookup CGs in West Yellowstone, MT and Island Park,ID there is a wealth of information there. Yes, I am not a fan of CW except for the Bible, it lists over 12,000 campgrounds and services, phone #s, # of sites, directions etc.
The ONLY FHU Reservable CG in YSNP is Fishing Bridge however it it closed for the 2020 season for “Renovation” The other CGs- Grant Village, Bridge Bay, Canyon, Mammoth, Madison (the closest CG to Old Faithful) are non reservable “dry” CGs.There are some other smaller CGs that are suitable for tents etc. only. To get a site in any of the non reservable CGs be there EARLY get in line and the Ranger will assign you a site as the previous campers leave.
The town of West Yellowstone, MT is about 3 blocks from the West Entrance to Yellowstone NP then 14 miles to Madison and then 16 miles to O/F with 4 or 5 thermal basins and the one way Firehole Canyon Drive along the way.
