Well, comments like the above coming from someone who has a vested interest in folks stayin at commercial RV parks should be taken with a great deal of scepticism.
Yes, FB does charge for any more than 2 showers a day. However, in case you haven't noticed, most modern rigs come equipped with a full bathroom and hot and cold running water. Sure things are pricy inside Yellowstone, but most bring most everything in with them. Great Walmart in Cody and some very nice supermarkets in Jackson. Last time we were there, the groceries available in West Yellowstone we pretty expensive. Then the roads, Really?!!! The roads up there are really pretty good. Sure, they are 2 lane, but it's not like you are about to drop off the side of a mountain.
Staying outside Yellowstone decreases ones ability to access all that is there due to time and excessive travel issues. Granted, FB is the only one with hookups, but there are extensive campgrounds to choose from. Evening ranger led campfire programs, evening and early morning wildlife viewing are other things to consider.
I'm not saying Grizzly is bad as we have stayed there. Very nice commercial RV park. There is much that Yellowstone has to offer, including many perfectly good campgrounds.
So, when a competing campground owner chimes in running down facilities inside the National Park, take his comments with a grain of salt.
