Yellowstone and Tetons

Looking at a end of season trip to Yellowstone and Tetons. I am thinking 5 days for both not really going to hike mostly drive around to see sights, I was thinking of doing a day trip to the Tetons from the campground looking at Yellowstone Valley inn and Rv park(gets a 7.2 on park reviews it a little pricey) Any sugestions. Thanks
  • In mid Sept., most of the campgrounds inside yellowstone will be closed.
    the best source of rv parks with full hookups is West Yellowstone because there are several rv parks and because the town is right on the Park's border and a decent spot to start your tours of Yellowstone. But call and check on the availability of Fishing Bridge rv campground inside the park. you might get lucky.

    For the Tetons, there is Colter Bay RV campground on the northern end of the park
    and Gros Ventre park in the south has added some sites with electricity but not sure if you can reserve them ahead of time. Both these campgrounds should be open until late Sept.
    I imagine you are not afraid of a little snow, but be advised you might see a snow shower or two at that time of year.

    How late of season? If only doing 5 days and you can do without sewer hook up, go directly to Bakers Hole NFS. Many large pull thru 50 amp sites right next to the Madison River just outside the West Gate to Yellowstone. A few years ago we were there in early Sept and had a Great site. Have Fun!!!


    I will be doing it around the middle of Sept. and coming from Denver so east side is easier. Prefer to have FHU.
