Ok I decided not to read all the comments but went to Yosemite last year the weekend before July 4th. The big campground in the valley was a zoo, the small campground up in the mountains was great. This year we arrived at Yellowstone on July 4th without reservations. Found a a great site on the creek for the week. On the dirt road to The campground we saw bison, pronghorn, coyote, ground squirels and otter. That's not counting the black bear, bison and pronghorn walking through our campsite on different mornings.
This last trip we saw two different wolf packs and 11 different Grizzlies. We sat for two days and watched mama with two cubs. Feeding on a bison, feeding the cubs, teaching them to swim the river playing in the meadow. Yea it was crowded but it was a great week. At the end of the day we went back down the long dirt road to the campground with less than 25 sites and parked on gravel.
