Keith makes some good points, but the reason I - and probably many others - recommend staying in West Yellowstone is that some of us need, or really like to have, hookups. Other than Fishing Bridge, those are just not available.
With just a minimum of planning, it's not difficult to secure a space in one of the campgrounds inside Yellowstone. This year will be our 5th time staying at Fishing Bridge and 8th time in the park. We have never had a problem getting a reservation when we wanted it. We just plan ahead for our visit.
There are over 2100 campsites available inside Yellowstone plus who knows how many cabins and hotel rooms. If one simply wants to do a drive through, check off Old Faithful, the canyon and falls, you haven't really seen Yellowstone. There is sooooo much else to see and do it will boggle your mind and much of that requires being there early in the morning or late at night. Having to retreat back to your "resort" outside really hinders participating in those activities.
Stay where you want, it's your money and time.
