And since you mention Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park is a nice place to visit, also. There is so much to see and do on the way there really isn't time to do it all in one trip!

Have a great time,

Bob

Default Yellowstone

So how many days will you have in Yellowstone?

As others mentioned, the only campground with full hookups INSIDE Yellowstone is Fishing Creek. But it has more of a parking lot feel than campground. Some folks have posted that they spent so much time in the park (vs. time spent at campsite) that they didn't care, but I wanted a camping experience. So we stayed at Canyon Village. It is a GREAT campground but NO hookups, not even electricity. There are public rest areas to use and wash dishes, and a dump station at the exit. And by switching to LEDs we survived 5 nights on a single 12V battery.
Norris and Madison campgrounds looked excellent too. But it may be too late for reserving a multi-night stay this summer. Check out this link.

Here's another idea: if you want a campground with full hookups, consider Colter Bay in Grand Tetons NP. It is only ~30 minutes from the southern entrance to Yellowstone. And it is a good campground. I would stay there vs. a commercial campground outside of the parks.

Here's a link to Colter Bay RV Park: http://www.gtlc.com/lodging/colter-b...e-rv-park.aspx

My family had a blast at Yellowstone and Grand Tetons last year.

When we went to Yellowstone we had our Coleman pop-up and so were not allowed to camp at Fishing Bridge. We stayed in West Yellowstone at a KOA and it was fine. However, if I did it again now that we have the TM I would stay at one of the off-the-grid campgrounds inside the park.
