As you already stated, Fishing Bridge is a parking lot with trees. Very tight campsites. We barely had room to extend our awning and the tow vehicle had to be parked across the site instead of head in.
But we didn't spend any time there anyway because we were out with the 1,000's of others in the various traffic jams throughout the park. One backup due to a bear sighting was over 5 miles long.
Yellowstone is one of my least favorite national parks. Too crowded. We left there and went to the Greys River southwest of Jackson Hole. There is over 60 miles of river and road without a single electric pole and that doesn't count the 100's of miles of side roads. Probably saw no more than a dozen other vehicles during our 3-4 days on the Greys River. There are several National Forest campgrounds along the way with vault toilets and if I recall correctly several had hand pump water.
