Yellowstone ??????

Here's the scoop on the West Yellowstone KOA. About 6 miles from the west gate. I've always stayed at Grizzly and like it enough that I've never looked for some other park.

Grizzly RV park, west Yellowstone for sure.

Anyone got any info on the KOA West Entrance ????

We will have our jeep with us. We are looking at either inside or outside the park. Never been there, so we don't know what to really look for. I need 50amp service, and sewer would be nice.

Do you want to camp inside or outside the park?
Are you particular about hook ups and amenities?

Reserve ASAP once you decide on the park.

Check an almanac or other weather source for possible weather this year. Sometimes it's dry, sometimes you see a flood. Just remember that long range progs are guesstimates of the weather patterns.

How are you getting around inside the park? I hope there's car in your trailer; a motor home isn't the way to drive around park.

It depends on what type of "camping" you like. Some here will say that there are CG's within YNP that will accommodate your rig and trailer but I would have to disagree, with the exception of Bridge Bay. They have large sites up front and a huge parking lot that you may be able to park your trailer in. When we go over, we stay in West Yellowstone and since we prefer CG's, we stay at Baker's Hole, a FS CG 2 miles north of West Yellowstone. They have sites that you will fit in and you can make the turns. There are quite a few pull throughs and most sites have electricity. There is a water fill station at the entrance plus numerous spigots throughout. If you like RV parks, Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone is a super nice place. We've stayed there for a couple of nights either coming or going to dump our tanks, do laundry, and refill. Most sites are pull throughs. The service is super. Free coffee every morning at the clubhouse and within walking distance of town. Another place we've staying within driving distance of YNP is at Colter Bay RV park. Most sites are pull throughs and full hookups. They also have a dry CG side. We've stayed at Flagg Ranch too but that was years ago so I couldn't tell you how it would be for a rig your size.

I was there in '72 and it was fantastic. Saw every kind of animal except bears, unbelievable.

Planning another trip this year probably end of May 2014. This trip will also include Bryce, Zion, Arches, Glacier, Grand Teton plus...?

RV campgrounds within the park are convenient but twice as expensive as outside. I think only two accept RV. Reservations can be made now before they open but will be hard to get later in the year.
