Suggestions on Yellowstone/Tetons Campground

[bobandwendy1972]

My Wife &I and fellow FMCA friends plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park and Grand Tetons National Park.  We are currently checking into campgrounds in and around both National Parks.  We are looking for feedback from fellow FMCA members that recently stayed in the area.  We have a 30 ft  MH with a tow vehicle, our friends have a 36 ft MH with a tow vehicle.

Bob,

In Yellowstone there is one Park that I know that has Full Hook Ups, " Fishing Bridge". When we were there several year ago, the max length was 40 foot. All sites are back ins and narrow, but a great place. Have not stayed in the Tetons.

With any major attraction the sooner you make reservations the better.

If you plan on Rving at Yellowstone, I would advise making your reservation ASAP

Inside the Park is closed for the winter (as most are)

Tetons National Park, Rv parks are very few, also small, outside the park,

The Virginia Rv park is  less than 1 mile to down town, Jackson. expensive,  Very nice staff. opens 1st of May

The RV park in Wilson is also a nice park, small and expensive,

The Rv park in Buffalo Valley is also a fairly decent park, although an older park, also expensive.

Explore all options, Jackson Hole is expensive, also a great place to visit

We stayed at Fishing Bridge several years back and like Herman said the sites are close together but manageable and it's in the park.   The year after we were there they were installing a cell tower at the campground so cell service should be good.   I have already booked three nights for late July this summer at Fishing Bridge on a return trip and I booked two nights in Colter Bay Campground in the Grand Teton NP.  The last time we stayed only at Fishing Bridge and did a day trip to the Grand Teton's it was about an hour drive.    When I booked the sites about two months ago the campsites in Colter Bay were mostly taken.  The park is so big it really saves time being in the park.   I would book ASAP.

We book Grizzly RV park for three weeks but make sure you sitting down when the quote the price.  I understand that north of Jackson there lot dry camping that is very cheap or free and we plan to take advantage of that on the way home from yellow stone for few days.

We also have done Grizzly RV and of course went into the west entrance.  Grizzly is a good park but way overpriced.  I guess it doesn't matter because they seem to always stay full.   We never knew about any dry camping north of Jackson Dennis, we will be looking into that for our 2019 trip out that way.

Here is the reference I using to the camping in and around Grand Tetons.
