Grizzley RV Park in West Yellowstone Montana is a real nice very accessable park for visiting Yellowstone. The town has groceries, supplies and the park is really nice and clean. The location is centrally located so you can visit just about anywhere within Yellowstone and get back to your camp by dark. You are in for one heck of a good time. Also don't forget to visit Grand Teton National Park just south of Yellowstone a few miles. You need to be making reservations now!! Yellowstone is jam packed in June!!

We stayed at Fishing Bridge RV Park inside the Park. They have full hookups & the ccost was $30 per night. Not a lot of room but very convenient for visiting the park. Closest to the entrance from Cody. WY.

We have stayed at Grants Thumb before. No hookups, but we like to boon dock and have a fire at night. I think fishing bridge is the only one in park with full hook ups. Stayed once, it was ok but no fires.

But this summer Fishing Bridge has no electric service, I also recommend West Yellowstone for the lower loop.

I would check on campgrounds just outside the east entrance and stay outside the park. I wasn't impressed with any of the campgrounds inside the park, least of all Fishing Bridge, they aren't very well maintained to say the least. It is the only one with full hookups, (but I have heard from more than one source that there will be no electric for 2010) sites are literally on top of each other and extremely tight, even for a 33ft 5ver. I'm glad we stayed outside the park. Grizzly is nice, we stayed there this past Sept. but it is on the west side in West Yellowstone. It would probably add a day to your travels to get there if you are coming in from St. Louis. There is another nice one in Gardner, but that is the North entrance and puts you at the opposite end of where you want to be. Good luck, have fun, IMHO it is the best National Park we have, simply amazing scenery.

You should be aware that there can still be snow in the park in June, and more so at the beginning of the month. Keep that in mind, as well as the potential for road closures due to construction, both inside as well as outside the park, in making your final travel plans.
Grizzly RV Park, as already mentioned, is by far the best RV park just a stone's throw outside the west entrance, and the best roadway into the park is also from that entrance.
My wife and I spend our summers and fall at Yellowstone's Edge RV park, which is 35 miles north of Gardner and the Park's northern entrance. Although that's well north of where you said your primary interest was for visiting the park, we believe our RV park is one of the very best in the west (or else we wouldn't be staying there!) and is certainly worth considering if you were going to be in that area.

also don't forget to turn the furnace on at night, at least if you have young children. We were then near the end of July and it got down to freezing every night.
