It depends on what kind of camping you like to do...we prefer to camp in areas that we feel more like we are in the forest...we do not prefer to camp in "parking lots." With that said...Fishing Bridge is a "parking lot." But the three days we were there, we appreciated having the amenities of elec/water/sewer. Those were the days that we were VERY busy with hiking/driving/seeing the sights...when were back at the campsite, we wanted showers and all electricity.
We also had 3 days at Grant...it was much more to our liking...more rustic. campfires, picnic tables and trees. More space between sites. Much "prettier" within the campsite. However, not as convenient to amenities like Fishing Bridge.
If you are at Yellowstone, there is a TON of driving, so be prepared and plan accordingly. reservations are a must. If you camp at a private campground, you are going to be driving more than you do anything else.
We spent a week there and we could have stayed longer!!! Ready to go back!!
