Yellowstones Fishing Bridge Camp Ground
On our planned cross country trip planned for this summer we have reservations at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone Park. If anyone has stayed there I would appreciate some feedback as to what to expect ...

Just left Yellowstone last Sunday after spending 3 nights at the Madison Campground followed by 2 nights a Fishing Bridge. While the locations worked great for seeing the park... Madison for the western sections of the Grand Loop and FB for the Easter sections, most notably the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, had we to do it over again, we would have stayed in Madison the whole time. Our rig is a 32 ft fiver, and there are a limited number of sites at Madison that will fit a rig of this size, so if going that way, make your reservations early and over the phone, not via the web.
As for Fishing Bridge, it's expensive, tight, with no fire pits or picnic tables. Some sites have enough room outside your door to put up your own table and chairs, but on others, there are pine shrubs that have overgrown to the point that you cannot. Our neighbor, in fact, had to prune back some branches so he could get out of his rig. Advantage is FHU and proximity to the eastern areas of the park, and on the route to the east entrance. Disadvantages are site sizes and high cost. Everyone has their own preferences of course, but for us, it's not the type of camping experience we value.
