Topic: Yellowstone National Park Posted: 11 May 2016 at 9:20am |
I was there last summer. We stayed at the madison river campground, and the norris campground. Our trip was mostly a fishing with a little bit of sightseeing. We probably drove 600 miles while in the park. If you don't have reservations at any and you want to stay in the park, arrive at the campground early. Most of them fill up before 11am. We just drove from each of these campgrounds to our destinations . The rush to obtain non Reserva be campsites is like black Friday sales.
If there are certain areas in the park you want to see, it is best to go early or late. Traffic in the park at midday is very busy. On the other hand, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I'm planning to go back next summer. |

I was there 30 years ago and again 2 years ago with my own family, and even after being all over the US twice, Yellowstone was then and still is my favorite park. Plan on a minimum of 3 days to explore and you could easily do a week. Plan for cold temperatures - back in '86 we woke up to snow on July 4th and we needed the furnace in '14. We were there in July 2 years ago and were very surprised at the relatively small crowds compared to the nightmare stories we've read. Same for Grand Canyon, half the campground was empty mid-week and we had no problem walking around near the visitor center.

Between Teton np & Yellowstone np there's a small strip of private land & Flagg ranch campground were a gravel road run there are national forest campgrounds (3 or 4) spots at each site .they are placed about a mile apart down that gravel road. These cg have potapotties & fire rings. No water. They are first come. There are also a bunch of national forest cg along road outside the west entrance to Yellowstone.
