Answer
I was just up in Yellowstone. Forget tenting, any camping in Yellowstone is a Walmart parking lot. I recommend the national forest campgrounds coming in from Cody or West Yellowstone. The Northeast entrance from Mt. is far better but because of Grizzlies NO TENTS. This time of year it it's hard to find a parking place let alone a campsite. US 212 from the park to Red Lodge, Mt. is one of the best scenic roads in the world. Break camp before dawn see the park and more animals before the tourist arrive. Yellowstone is very crowded with cars, RV's, people and animals.

Advice for visiting Yellowstone??




Expecting


We are going to Yellowstone for a camping trip, but only have a couple of days to spend there. What things are must-see? I have looked for a detailed map to get to things like Old Faithful but even the park website doesn't really have anything detailed. Also, if you have stayed there, which campground is best? We are tent-camping and would like to have showers and flush toilets nearby.
