Yellowstone, '16
We are in the planning stages right now. I've never been, a few coworkers have but they are hotel people. I am taking the TC and my family loves the outdoors, animals and hiking. We are thinking early...

Where to stay depends on whether or not you need hookups. If so, Fishing Bridge is the only campground in the park.
If you don't need hookups and are staying 7 to 9 days, then staying in more than one campground might be beneficial. (Madison and Grant Village would work.)
If you go in early June, do not consider Glacier National Park - Going to the Sun Road would probably not be completely open. This year, which was a low snow year, it opened around June 19. In 2014, it opened on July 3. (I wouldn't do both Yellowstone and Glacier unless I more than 9 days. We spend 8 days in Glacier and 8 days in Yellowstone/Tetons this passed summer.)
Instead of Glacier, consider going south to the Tetons. I believe the Yellowstone entry fee will cover the Tetons, as well. (Since we use my senior pass, we don't keep up with such things :)) In the Tetons, Coulter Bay and Flagg Ranch have hookups. Without hookups, I would choose Jenny Lake of Signal Mountain.
Have fun.
