Yellowstone campgrounds; opinions...

Thanks for all the info folks, we're familiar with Grizzly (staying there in one leg of our trip) and Coulter Bay too. Coulter Bay had 3 out of the 4 days we needed so we made the reservation and will check back with them for a cancellation. Rustic Wagon sounds like a good alternative if the need arises.

This summer we stayed at Grizzly in W Yellowstone and at Colter Bay in the Tetons. We stayed at Grizzly while visiting Yellowstone NP and at Colter Bay when visiting the Tetons. I would try ti get a spot at Colter Bay if you're vising the Tetons. It's beautiful and very convenient to the Tetons. If you're only going to Yellowstone, West Yellowstone is a great choice. It's just outside the west entrance to Yellowstone. I don't know about the parks you mentioned but Grizzly is great.

Both Colter Bay and Grizzly had ample space for our 45' motorhome and toad.

Grizzly isn’t the cheapest, but we count it among the nicest parks we’ve ever camped in. Location is great, as you can stroll into town, too.

We stayed at both Grizzly and Buffalo Crossing earlier this summer. Buffalo Crossing was a little difficult to access our site with our 35' Class A. The sites were fairly tight and no grass. Next time we will be staying at Grizzly the whole time. It was really great to lay in bed at night and hear the wolves from the recovery center howling every once in a while. We loved the roadways in the park for riding bikes with our Grandkids. The Grizzly sites were much bigger and nicer, etc. JH

We like Rustic Wagon a lot, stayed a week there last year. (You can see my review in RV Parks Reviews). Large pull-thrus and great staff.

You didn't ask about it, but for West Yellowstone, Grizzly RV Park is our favorite in that area. I'm not sure about any other CGs with hookups in the Tetons, besides Colter Bay, that I'd consider staying in. Sorry to hear your plans for Colter Bay have been frustrated. (However, being so far ahead, you might find a cancellation.)

Have friends that stay at Rustic Wagon and enjoyed their stay very much.

If you can dry camp try Bakers Hole NFS I think. There are some with electricity. GPS N44° 42.360' W111° 06.060'
