As far as Yellowstone is concerned is my Truck with Camper a vehicle? ๐ Has anyone used one these Tent Only spaces in Yellowstone with their Truck with Camper?

As has been said on this thread, some campgrounds will allow TCs and/or other RVs to use tent only campsites. Other campgrounds will not allow TCs and/or other RVs to use tent only campsites. Every campground, camp host, ranger, etc., interprets the rule differently.

Nope, doesn't fit. My TC has no wheels like a car truck or cart, so it can't possibly be an RV or any other type of vehicle.
I'd sure like to hear of someone actually being thrown out. TC-ing since 89, and never had a problem yet.

To those who say that only means only, I ask: What site do I use if arrive in a in a passenger vehicle and wish to unroll a sleeping bag on the ground, both tent-less and RV-less?

Bridge Bay - We liked walking the loops a lot. You can see a tent just off the left of the front. No shade on this one. They call it a pull through, but it's more of a pull off. ๐
Grants Village - there were some back in spots. That little red spot to the left is one of the tents from our neighbors that had two small tents and two Harleys. No other vehicles.
Fishing Bridge - this is similar to the spots you see along the interstate as you can see. The roads were curiously really potholed. I found it funny that the one with the full hookups and more expensive was in worse shape. Not a problem ... just an observation.

We did just that last july for 4 nights
It was the only site available when we arrived.
The campground host said it was ok.
We unloaded the camper, the truck just fit with it on the site, if it hadn't we could have parked the truck somewhere else.

Can't imagine a Park Ranger actually enforcing such a rule. They have such a reputation for being lenient on rule after rule. And why not run your generator, your television, your roof air and turn on your outside lights? Any prohibition against those activities are just a bunch of rules like the tent only rule and should actively be disregarded.Boatycall wrote:
Uhh boy... ok, I did... Twice. Not at YSNP, but here locally at Mt Rainier Nat'l Park. In both cases, the RV parking was full, and my truck/TC easily fit into the parking spot of the first-come first-serve tent area spot I found, so i parked there.
I then proceeded to put up a small 2-person tent I keep with me.
Both occasions, nobody said anything, and in fact, on one of the times I shared coffee with the people next door to me the following morning.
I think if you do/or are able to park in a tent space, respect the peace and quite the tenters came for -- No generator, no roof air, tv, radio, leave outside lights off, etc.
I agree with this.
If people would just take the initiative to take what they want, and not only what some bureaucrat decided they should have, the world would soon be a better place. I mean, why should a tent camper have a site free from motorhomes, fifth wheels and the like. If you can drive your rig in, you should park it wherever the heck you want. And who needs roads, a good 4x4 pickup in low range should get you where you want to go. Also, if you should encounter a fire ban during your stay, just cut down a few trees and light them on up. The park has billions of trees and no one will miss one or two. There is an entire infrastructure built to battle wildfires, so no one can say they don't plan for them. No big deal if one gets started from your campfire.

Outside of walk-in sites, tent sites would include parking for at least one vehicle-which is exactly what the TC is. The truck and TC take up no more parking space than a pickup. We donโt run a genny, and donโt leave outside โscareโ lights on. We have camped next to rowdy tenters and quiet RVโers you didnโt even know were there. And vice versa. The vehicle is no indication of the manners inside! We have offered hot coffee to cold/wet motorcycle travelers in a tent, and cold beer to Foreigners touring in a VW bus. Courtesy with the Ranger at check-in, and with the neighbors, goes a long way. We have never been asked to move from any sentโฆtent sites included. We try to keep a small/quiet footprint.

Jim, when are you heading to Yellowstone? Shoot me a PM, if you would like.
