We went to both Yellowstone and Tetons this past August for 10 days. Although in August there were a lot of people, YP is so big that it didn't really feel that crowded. Tetons were never crowded. September should be no concern as others have said.
I would recommend spending at least half your time in the Tetons and half in YP. We actually saw much more wildlife in the Tetons than in YP.
The BEST piece of advice I received was to have some plans made for your time in the parks, but do not be in a rush for anything. I literally cannot tell you how many times we just decided to take a dirt road here or there, or took a last minute unplanned hike that we came upon.
We stayed at Madison campground in YP and would highly recommend that (although no hookups, there is water and a dump right there) and Colter Bay while in the Tetons. Very quiet and the campsites are big and not too close to your neighbor.
Best camping trip we have ever taken!
