[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1854470, member: 63925"] Your camping equipment will dictate where you can camp in Yellowstone depending upon the "bear" control in that area. Some areas required hard sided campers not sure to keep the campers in or the bears out? YS is huge and you need to plan a lot of time to just drive around to see the various high spots. We spent 3.5 days there and it was not nearly enough to see what we wanted to see there. Last time there saw plenty of grizzly and bisons can be a royal pain and need to be aware they do not have a nice disposition. Saw few vehicles that got head butted just sitting too long and too close. Be prepared for road blocks from people just stopping to see animals without thought to letting anyone pass until the rangers show up. Sometimes it was crazy to what people were doing. And yes some thought the animals were part of Disneyland. We left them as fast as we could so we didn't have to witness Darwinism in action. Old Faithful is as cool as depicted but there are so many other hot geysers to see in park it is hard to get to all. Bring a fly rod if you fly fish, the Madison River by the west entrance is full of fish and had cow elk and calfs nearby quite a few times. I had an old 6MP self contain zoom camera that worked fine since my Canon was acting up. Scenery is second to none except for the Grand Tetons which I think is overlooked by many as being beautiful in its own right. We stayed quite a few days in West Yellowstone just outside the park in MT at a Best Western downtown and was fine. There are campgrounds there as well that may be good place to base camp since you are just outside the park. There are so many restaurants and bars to choose from you may have to stay longer to hit them all. Added plus if within walking distance to your campsite. Cody is also an awesome town to visit.
