Starting planning for a trip to Yellowstone NP next year. Would like any first hand accounts of your stay at this park. It is about 12 miles west of West Yellowstone. Thanks

That would make the drive one way to Madison Junction 32 miles and you are just in the park at Grand Look road.Grizzly in West Yellowstone would save you 22 miles a day,People who have not been there yet just can not comprehend how big Yellowstone is

Imho one of the prettier parks in the area. A bit of a drive from the park. You can see it from another campers perspective Here

Why waste your time driving into and out of the park? Stay closer. Or, better yet stay inside the park with full hookups at Fishing Bridge RV Campground.

Stay in the Park...We visit Yellowstone about every 2 or 3 years after a week stay in the Tetons. To cut down on travel time with the toad, I spend 4 nights at Canyon, then move to Madison for 4 nights. Then head up to Mammoth for 4 nights. All this is dry camping. At Canyon, you do get 2 free showers a day. We then explore the sights near each campground.

If you are interested in seeing the entire area around West Yellowstone, including the park, then it would probably be a fine place to stay. Otherwise, stay in the park (remember, only Fishing Bridge RV Park has hookups inside the park boundaries) or on the edge of it. Grizzly is a fine CG; we have enjoyed our stays there. As others have noted, it's quite a drive - and much of it not at highway speeds.

Just got back from yellowstone three weeks ago. My opinion of fishing bridge is not good. Very tight spaces when full. I arrived late and could not hook up due to neighbors vehicle behind me blocking me from backing up the required distance needed. It was late and did not want to wake him, although I should have.Only restrooms were far from my site. shower facilities were quite a walk.Got out of there first thing in am. As mentioned I would recommend moving around to different campgrounds depending on how much time you have. Bridge bay campground is close to fishing bridge and much nicer imho. Madison campground is spectacular. As far as going through Jackson, beautiful scenery going that way , however we came into the park from the south through Jackson and it took us literally three times as long as we had planned . A long leisurely scenic drive if you have the time. hope this helps. kb
