.. we made a perfect purchase of a used 2015 winnebago view and we LOVE it.

... made plans to go to yellowstone, we couldn't make it this summer but

plan on getting on the road, very

late august early september and was hoping for some input from those that have gone.

..............**************.Best trip We ever took to YNP was late October early November - watch the Weather as it will be your friend, and dictate where and How Long you will go to the places you want to see

is it going to be too late in september to camp in yellowstone?

.................************.NO!

i saw a few of the campgrounds close like the 2nd week in sept? ...

................***********.Yes that is true - find the one that works for you - Madison is usually open late Remember that most of the supplies are sold out in YNP so you will need to bring most everything with you. Wal*Mart is your friend - stock up before you get in - might be good to have 5 Gallons of diesel just in case.

, is it going to be less crowded?

................*************. Yes, but if the weather is good people will be there so you still need to be flexible. Click on the webcams to see what it's like.

.... planning on hitting montana area as well afterwards,

......................************.That works - Glacier is also Weather dependent, so just keep and Eye/Ear open.

....wondering if the snow hits early or if we will be ok.

......................**************.Generally speaking the early Snow melts quickly, so just be smart.

... plan on going to mount rushmore so any advice is helpful.

........................***************. More advice - where are you coming from? - Montana or South Dakota? Need a little more info to work the plan.

we were thinking of buying a toad to bring along, but thought it may be easier if we just rent a car, has anyone done this and any suggestions?

........................***************.Figure that out as you go - your are in a fairly small, all purpose vehicle, so after a little travel you will know what works for you, We've met many who just use rentals, not as easy but doable.

also, our MH is a diesel so how is the gas station situation in yellowstone in trying to find diesel?

......................***************.The only reason you think diesel is hard to find is because you have always used Gas - Cowboys and Farmer all have Diesel TRUCKS - so yes diesel is everywhere out west.

we are just trying to get everything in order before heading out and looking for some good helpful tips, plus if you can recommend the best scenic campgrounds to stay at.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,****************,In so much as you have not really given us much info we need to know more of your Plan/Mission - otherwise we are just telling you what we would do.

our trip can last anywhere from a month to 6 months so we are open on anything.

......................*****************.Yes or if you really like it, it could last for YEARS!

thanks all for your help ahead of time.

Give us more REAL info and we can INPUT more to the solution you are seeking,

Hope this is of some help will follow this thread and try to help fill in the Blanks.

Best of Luck, sounds like the beginning of a GREAT ADVENTURE -

You will need Good BOOTs - a GOOD CAMERA - not big just good - Fleece - Really Good Rain Gear.
