Yellowstone and Tetons in a 45 foot motorhome

You are going to limited to locations.
Are you going to be towing a vehicle to get around with?
I like the one behind the IMAX theater.
Buffalo Crossing RV park

Hi Bud,

Yes, we will be towing a car.

Lot of people will push Grizzly in West Yellowstone. We liked Buffalo since it is real close to West Yellowstone acivities.
Your rig will not fit in many sites at Fishing Bridge inside the park.
Madison has a few dry sites for your size.
Should warn you that each of the loops at Yellowstone is a good day without out doing any hiking.
Do you want full hookups or?
I would move down to Jackson area for your visit to Tetons.

With a rig as large as yours your best bet is private rv parks at approx 50.00 a night. Must Forest service and national park service can not handle a rig that size. I have lived in Yellostone the last 6 years and that is your best bet. There is a place called Yellowstone holiday rv park and marina and they are 13 miles from the entrance to the park and run about 40.00 a night.

I didn't care at all for Fishing Bridge. The sites are all tight.

I'm sure that others will recommend great places outside of Yellowstone that are closer, but I really love Greys River. No hookups but there is 60 miles of river followed by Greys River Road. Abundant of dry camping spots. Just pull over and set up camp. Or there are 3 or 4 Forest Service campgrounds. Of course still no hookups but several that will accommodate your rig.

Greys River is south of Jackson just outside of the town of Alpine. Beautiful area with tons of wildlife and of course fantastic fishing.

Hi all,

We would prefer full hookups however we would be able to stay with no hookups if needed. If we stayed at a place without hookups we would need to dump and fill within about 5 days.

Grizzly in West Yellowstone

Well, for Grand Teton & if you don't mind dry camping & appreciate being right in the middle of things & don't mind paying only a little bit of money, there is Gros Ventre CG. They have sites for everything & the staff do a good job of putting vehicles in size appropriate sites. You won't find a class B in a 40' site.

We spent the July 4th week there this year. There was a converted bus in for a few nights plus a few class As. We are 55' long hooked up. Too long by a bit for our site hooked up but with the back of the trailer hanging out past the end of the pad we did just fine.

Nights were cool so the AC was no miss. Much nicer there at night than any private CG with all the lights & humming ACs.

BTW, Buffalo Crossing is a tenth of a mile to the west gate. I've never seen it, but somebody was putting hookup posts on a gravel parking lot next to the Imax in 2008. Apparently, it isn't paved yet according to RV Park Reviews. I've stayed at Grizzly and loved it and it will easily accommodate the length of your rig, but it is a half mile from the west gate. :)
And Alpine is 100 miles south of the south gate. So better fill up with gas if you're going to commute from there.
P.S. There are grocery stores in West Yellowstone that are a lot cheaper than anything inside the park.
Grizzly gets all 9s and 10s on RV Park Reviews.

Lots of rigs your size in the Colter Bay RV Park, so no problem there. Just get your reservation in soon. Less sure about Yellowstone. We were able to get a few nights in Madison, but that was with our 32 ft fiver. Don't think your rig would fit. Best thing to do is to call them and ask. The reservation folks that handle Yellowstone will know if and where you can fit your rig.
