Check your facts! Fishing Bridge is not as expensive as Grizzly! It maybe operated by Xanterra, but it is still part of Yellowstone and subject to the rules and regulations of the national park service and frequently patrolled by Rangers. As to mileage, sure it is "only 14 miles" to the grand loop road, but there is nothing at that intersection but a great NPS campground. Keep in mind that you still have to drive much farther to get to the main sites and must still backtrack all that way to get back to West Yellowstone.
There must be a reason that there are over 2000 campsites inside Yellowstone that are mostly all full during the summer season.

Fishing Bridge is no where as nice as Grizzly RV Park, Xanterra facilities do not offer the diversity of the Town of West Yellowstone, i.e. IMAX theater, 2 fully stocked grocery stores, a bakery that is fantastic, Mexican food, Ice Cream parlors, Pizza parlor, several gasoline stations, Propane, Museums, Zip-line and on and on.
We spent 7 days there and didn't find the drives to ALL four corners of the park tiring and we even canoed, shopped and horseback rode. Stay at Grizzly and enjoy the town and Yellowstone NP.
