Grizzy RV in West Yellowstone
Has anyone stayed at Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone? We are considering it for our trip to visit Yellowstone. Any advise/insight would be greatly appreciated!

My family and I have stayed at FB for most of my 50 years, all the way back to the days you could still fish from the bridge. This is JMHO.... Grizzly is a very nice place if you want concrete pads for your RV and close to everything. It is the nicest urban RV park because that is what it is, an RV Park. You will not walk out of your RV and see wild life unless your neighbors are drunk and fighting. We saw that there one time, what a mess. But that can happen anywhere.
Fishing Bridge is in the heart of the park! The spots are tight but if you can back your rig worth a darn, you will be ok. You are surrounded trees and nature. I have walked out of my 5th Wheel and watched a Grizzly in the woods about 50' from my trailer and was trapped in in our trailer for 30-40 minutes due to a Bison standing outside out door. Down side is, no camp fires, if you cook outside you have to put your grill away everyday or a ranger will bang on your door in the middle of the night, make you get up and clean it up.
Upside is, you are located in the center of the park and that makes it easy to see the entire park. I will recommend that you take a hard side cooler with a locking lid ( the Ravens can open your cooler and eat your food )and a propane BBQ. It makes your day trips much better when you can just pull over and eat lunch or supper. We have been doing this for the last 20 years. It will save you a tone of cash because to buy lunch for a family of four ( 4 burgers, FF and a 4 drinks) costs about $60.00.
If you want to stay outside the park, stay in Island Park at the Red Rock RV park. Huge sites, showers, fire place, fishing and the owners and staff are super nice. Or the KOA is great too, pool, mini golf, group cook out, the works.
As for TV, my satellite worked fine in FB but we were gone or doing something from sun up to sun down. We never worried about showers because you have full hook ups. My wife and daughters showered in the trailer and I would ride my bike down to the showers.
There are a few guys arguing over where is best for you to stay ( not a good way to win your business and that should be a hint of who you may have to deal with in a urban RV Park. But the camp hosts or camp Nazis can be just as bad. Anyways, I hope this helps.
YSNP IS A GREAT PLACE, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND LOOK PAST THE EDGE OF THE ROAD AND YOU WILL SEE ALOT.
Good luck and enjoy your trip again, this is JMHO,
