Yellowstone weather in late May/early June

Greetings,
Planning a trip for late May/Early June to Yellowstone(2016). If anyone could relate their experiences with weather at this time of year it would be greatly appreciated. My DW and I are hoping to miss the large summer crowds by going at this time.
Will also visit Grand Teton and family in Colorado. We will be camping in a 5th wheel and are looking at Fishing Bridge CG.

Thanks,
Mike

I'd be ready for snow but it probably won't stay on the ground long barring a major storm.

We spent a week at Madison CG in early June, 2013. Several nights of 32 degrees. Rain and Sleet one day.
Would I go back at the same time? YES!!!
In fact plans are to return early June 2016.

Take plenty of bug spray.

Iffy, at best. Prepare for anything. Have a great trip!

The best advice for Yellowstone in May/June is to be prepared for any kind of weather! They had 5" of snow in parts of Yellowstone last weekend. It has been a relatively warm winter/spring in the area, though. Y is in a wet pattern at the moment, but it's been warm enough to be mostly rain rather than snow. Still...bring layers!
