Yellowstone should I split it up

We currently have reservations for four nights at Maddison campground inside the park. After reading several post, some suggested that they would split it up between parks if they had their choice.
I looked and Fishing Bridge is open for the nights I'm interested in. Should I stay where I'm at or would you suggest I stay two nights at Madison and two nights at Fishing Bridge. I was looking and we could probably squeeze in an extra night at Fishing Bridge for a total of three night there if needed.

My recommendation is to stay only in Canyon Village. Lots of amenities and centrally located.
I take one day to do the south loop, one day to do the north loop, and one day out to West Yellowstone.
Fishing Bridge has amenities too but it's a parking lot.

Compared to the trip expense from Florida the bus tours are not that expensive.
They are well worth it.

I recommend you take the Yellow Bus tours. You learn so much and see things you might miss on your own. They have two tours; north and south. Take them both. Yellowstone is very big. Tours start in West Yellowstone.
Been on them couple of times.
Call me if you wish.
