Yellowstone 2016 campground experiences

We are planning a summer trip to Yellowstone and are looking for suggestions for campgrounds. With kids, we are specifically looking for something with a pool. Via rvparky, Google, and rvparking, I have oddly found only three CGs near Yellowstone with pools. The Virginian in Jackson hole, a koa west Yellowstone, and sawtelle mountain resort. Anyone have experience positive or negative? Leaning more between the koa and the sawtelle. Maybe other nearby pool options that didn't show up in my searches?


Thank you,

Scooter

    I was looking at that. The Virginian was my last choice for that reason. Typically we pick a CG and stay there for a week plus. A few days will be spent there at the CG in the pool and just relaxing. We spend the rest of the time within a radius of the CG.

    It would be a looooonnng drive from Jackson to almost anywhere you want to go in YNP. Probably the lack of pools might be attributed to the fact that most people leave the CG in the morning and don't get back until dinner time.
