We have stayed at Fishing Bridge several times. No doubt it is a parking lot. But for us it made sense. Yellowstone is huge park, and it can take more than an hour simply to drive to your destination area, and an hour to drive back to the campground. Once you've reached your daily destination - or along the way - there's a ton of interesting stuff to hike to. It makes for a long day. By the time we got back at the end of the day (maybe 12 hours of being outside), we were pooped. The only thing we wanted was a glass of wine, a quick dinner, and bed. Having hookups sure made this easier.
We have never been people to sightsee for half a day, then go back to the camper and unfurl the awning, roll out a rug, set up beach chairs and a grill, turn on a radio, and chat with the neighbors. We can do that at home.
So to some extent, your choice of Yellowstone campground depends on your camping style.
