Default Beautiful country up there

You will love the drive, just be prepared for road work. When we went to Yellowstone two years ago, the road we needed to take to get to Mount Rushmore was closed. Of course we could have gotten there another way but not within our time frame. About camping in Yellowstone, contrary to common belief, most of it is first come first served, not reserved, and only one campground has utilities (that one takes reservations). Arrive before noon and NOT on the weekend. We came in the west entrance, so the first campground we came to was Madison. It is breathtaking. As it happened, we were accepted that day because of our smaller wheelbase while larger trailers were refused. We were there for almost two weeks, and every day 5th wheel drivers would bring the "wranglers" to our site insisting they could be accommodated in these sites if we were.
