What's with this bit about Fishing Bridge having no electric this year? I haven't found that on the NPS or Xanterra website. How did you find this out?
Yes, there are reservable sites at about half of the Yellowstone CGs. All but Fishing Bridge have no hookups. If that's ok with you, then Bridge Bay might be a good choice - fairly centrally located, especially for the lower loop, and many sites are in the open, so fewer worries about fitting in a 33' trailer. If you need hookups, Grizzly RV is great, and being in the town of West Yellowstone is close to the west entrance of the park, about 15 miles from the lower loop (Madison Jct.) Assuming Fishing Bridge will have utilities (again, I have not heard otherwise from an official source, but you'd be wise to check), they are well located for the south loop too. Sites a bit tight, but Xanterra should be able to advise which sites you'd fit into.

If you don't need elec i think Madison Cg in the park would be a good cg for you,It's about 10 miles from West Yellowstone & the west entrance.

We camped at Henry's Lake SP which is inexpensive ($18/night) about 10 miles west of West Yellowstone. Stayed 10 days. It has electric & water but no sewer. Spaces are large. Wind blows every day, mosquitos are bad at night. Fishing is good. You can make reservations there on line.

Look here
Fishing Bridge has no electric hook-ups this year. If you need electricity, West Yellowstone is your best bet. Fishing Bridge will still have water and sewer plus they will allow generators.

I think that this site has a missprint. I was there in September & all sites had electricity. Why would they stop now?

My brother-in-laws dad said that Cody WY would be a good place to stay too but Ive read on here its too far of a drive to some of the points of interest. It sounds like 3 hrs if theres alot of road construction and traffic. If its that much driving where do you guys gas up? Sorry but Im 37 years old and have never been there, nor my wike and children. They are all ages 8-13 and old enough to remember it so were goin. We visit eastern West Virginia so I can relate to the cold nights. We only have 2 weeks this year so i guess next year we will try the Tetons and the Northern loop.

Your link shows a picture of a couple of sites there at Fishing Bridge & I clearly see an electrical hookup in the picture. In addition, we camped there the first week in September of 2009 & had electrical hookups! Perhaps they will be doing work there this year & will not have electric hookups but the article you refer to states that the sites do not have electric not that there will be no electric service this year. I state again, I was there in September & we had electric hookups! No matter what anyone says, that is a fact! I don't know if there is going to be a change for 2010 but I seriously doubt it. This RV park is not isolated, it is only about a half mile from stores & a gas station so the whole area has electric. I believe the article contains a missprint & after all it is an article on a federal government website & our government screws up a lot!
