We were just in Yellowstone in May.I would head to Yellowstone first. We took I-70 to I 72 and then I-74 to Missouri Rt36. This is a great alternative to I-70 across Missuori. It's 4 lane and 65mph. We stayed at Pershing State Park which is right off Rt36. It has electric hookups and was $19 a night. From 36 we hit I-29 north to I-80. The next night we stayed at Lake Olagalla Recreation area. This is a beautiful campground under tall trees on a lake with electric hookups.The showers need some work but the park itself was nice.$18 with electric. The next day we got off I -80 at Rawlins and headed up 287/26. That night we stayed in Dubois at the Longhorn Ranch and RV Park. $49 a night for full hookups. Very nice campground on the Wind River. The bath rooms were about the nicest we ever saw. Each one was like your bathroom at home with toilet,sink and shower. From there we stayed at Madison in Yellowstone. It's nice and centrally located but no hookups. We spent 4 days in the park. We should have spent 2 more. Yellowstone is huge and you will do alot of driving.The Inn at Old Faithful is beautiful. We ate dinner there. Good food and the prices weren't bad.From Yellowstone I would head out the Cody entrance and work my way over to I-90 which will take you into South Dakota. We stayed Rafter J campground. Very nice full hookup. But if I did it again, I would stay in Custer State Park.They now have electric hookups and there is so much to see in the park. While there hit Mt Rushmore. We also liked the Cosmos and Bear Country USA. Then head east to the badlands and Wall Drug. Bandlands has a campground with electric hookups. From there head back to I-29 and retrace your route back home.
