WE went to Jellystone last August. First 5 nights at Henry's Lake CG near West Yellowstone. Very close to west entrance of the park. After the Eclipse we moved to Headwaters RV park near the south entrance.
My only complaint was the first CG charged me $5.00 more per day for my toad, even though I specified the toad when I made the reservations. I wasn't happy about a new charge. I think it was extortion. The CG was very nice, though.
Neither CG had cable but we had our satellite dish. Both had clean restrooms. Both have firepits.
Whoops ! looks like we just had a lightning strike on the electrical grid and all the power went off in the middle of writing this !
Animals sighted: 100's of bison, 1 bear, deer, elk, bald eagle and many other birds.
I finally got to see just about all the park over 10 days, better than when I was there 45 years ago.
Yep, the Senior Pass was the best. Dedicated entrance lane - no line.
Traffic is several areas is heavy in the park complicated by those driving an RV around rather than a toad. Trying to park an RV at each local sightseeing spot is difficult to impossible. Our toad was perfect.
If you need gas or diesel at the station next to Old Faithful there is a low clearance roof over all but the outside pump, and little room to turn around for the short pump hose. But when my very old battery in my toad failed, the guys in the station were great replacing it.
Weather in the second half of August was absolutely perfect.
