Is Fishing Bridge the site that says "no soft side camping"...because of the bears? I teased my wife about that detail!
That's the place!! I saw a few Brown Bears in the vicinity when we were there!! It really is the most convenient campground for Yellowstone. Lots of people will tell you to stay in West Yellowstone, but the amount of driving in and out every day is just not worth it. When planning your trip realize it takes a good 5 days to properly explore the Black Hills area, and I'd say a minimum of 4 just to hit all the hot spots and complete the loop in Yellowstone.
Thanks! We're planning to sit down soon and really get planning. I want to make sure we cover all of the must sees. Thankfully we should have 2-3 weeks if we really want to.
Any suggestions on a stopping point 1/2 from here to there? Driving with the kids, I probably won't want to do much more than 8 hrs. a day.
Suggested Route you and only you will know when you are going to stop. Might suggest that you start on a Friday right after work just to get a jump on things, as it is a good drive to get to the Rockies and start the trip, and the Friday start just gets you closer and will make the trip just a little easier.
I also took the liberty to run you through Colorado - Will give you a chance to just drive through areas you might enjoy later - And coming in from the South just allows you to take the "EASY WAY" in.
Hope this is some help,
