If you are going to have hookups, run the heater and open your bathroom sink and kitchen sink cupboards. Disconnect any water hoses to your RV.

You cannot ask for a specific site through the concessionaire. They assign the sites.
Listing shows Fishing Bridge and Madison which are two of the reservation sites.

Early Sept is my vote. Also Here is the best resource for finding parks. Enjoy!

Thanks, but this site just tells us how many sites are over a certain size at the "First come - first served" campgrounds.

I'm looking for the site sizes/site numbers at the reservation campgrounds in Yellowstone so I can request a specific site when I reserve.

Happy camping!

It does NOT work that way. They will not reserve a specific site for you. By telling them your total vehicle length, they will ensure that you have a site that will accommodate your length, but they will not assign a specific site in advance. And from what I saw this past September, they put some very big rigs in some pretty tight spaces.

In our experience you can't reserve a specific site at Yellowstone. Sites are assigned when you check in.

Good call on www.campsitephotos.com

Now I need to figure out where I can find a list of campsites that will actually fit my rig. Anyone know of a list that shows the sizes for the campsites in Yellowstone?

We've been to Y'stone several times and always go in June. We always stay at Grizzly in West Y'stone as well. There's always something new to see every season so it never gets old. The crowds don't bother us and the traffic doesn't bother me since I do all the driving. We always pop down to the Tetons and Jackson and even drive into Idaho on occasion; always a fun trip.

I would suggest staying in West Yellowstone. We stay at Buffalo Crossing. It is located within a couple blocks of west entrance. There is many things to do in West Yellowstone.
We have been to Yellowstone many times. We figure a long day to do each of the loops. As a new visitor figure at least two days per loop without spending much time on the trails. Double the two days to do some of the trails.
Fishing Bridge is concessionaire operated. It is not cheap any more. It is crowded with rigs close together.
Madison Campground in western portion is nice. There is no electric. Water and dump station is available.
Jackson can be seen coming or going by leaving through south entrance. Jackson itself is a couple to a few hours. Teton Park is a good day for visiting depending on your interests.
You could go to the NPS.gov website and get a lot of information on Yellowstone.
