It never seems to fail that someone asks about camping in Yellowstone and end up getting people pushing commercial campgrounds outside of Yellowstone, predominately in West Yellowstone. It's almost as if they get discounts for doing it.
Reality is that if you choose to stay outside of Yellowstone, you will increase you daily drive significantly, not to mention missing morning and evening activities inside the park. Staying outside puts you in a tourist trap town that you won't spend much time at because you'll be driving back and forth all the time. Most who visit Yellowstone spend very little time actually in the campgrounds, the place is just too big and there is too much to see and do.
If you want to really see Yellowstone, stay inside the park in one of the many campgrounds available, the experience is worth it all. If you want to stay in a RV resort, well, you can pretty much do that anywhere, but not in Yellowstone.
