Default west entrance camping

Our goal has always been to spend the days in the park, not at the campsite.

In our tenting days we usually stayed at Madison Junction and one time at Grant Village. At Madison we had bison roaming through the campground, one actually on the edge of our site one time. My favorite story from those days: When you are camping in a tent you are very aware of the bears. You are well aware a tent is not going to protect you. Especially at night. One night we heard a blood curdling scream from a nearby campsite in the middle of the night, and of course you immediately think bear attack. Of course everybody was talking about it in the morning, and the word was that somebody had a nightmare.

On our last trip to Yellowstone, late September 2016, our first in the TM, we stayed at Grizzly Park in West Yellowstone, which was a typical nice RV park. (attached pictures are from there) We also drove through Madison , thinking about how you would do an RV there since there are no hookups in that campground. In fact we wondered how anybody would camp there since it was getting below freezing at night and we were happy we had our two little AC heaters going at night. We saw a lot of little generators with the RV's. We even saw a TM there. So that campground would work well if you can boondock.
