Yellowstone area camping help
Hi there everyone. I have a question to ask anyone experienced with camping in and around Yellowstone National Park. We will be heading there this summer on our first cross country road trip from SC....

You're getting some excellent advice in the posts above.
First, prepare yourself for something grander and more magnificent that you would ever expect. The West is simply amazing, distances are vast, and legends are around every corner.
When we camp, we like to have some other people in the vicinity but "packed" around us. So we prefer State Parks & National Forests for our camping. Yellowstone has nice facilities but you will be "packed" in. So, we camped across the boarder at Henry's Lake State Park in Idaho. It is about 20 minutes from the center of the park but you will get: large & well maintained spaces, peace & quiet, clean facilities, a fishing lake to die for, and no bears. This made a real nice base camp away from the crowded areas of Yellowstone.
Oh, when at the Grand Tetons (simply amazing) you'll see there are four visitor centers. They are NOT all the same! Each has its own special focus and each deserves to be appreciated. 60 minutes at each one was about right for us.
Thanks of your info. I also run a ReadyBrute Elite and really like the simplicity.
