We are travelling in June with an RV 30 ft to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. I was reading a lot about RV Parks outside and inside the parks, but got mixed reviews. We are a family of 5, adults and 3 kids (4,6,9). We would like to have a park which is nice for kids and quite. It is the first time for us to travel with an RV and I would like to make it a nice experience for all of us. We have approximately 6 days in the area.
I appreciate any suggestions and tips!
Thanks - Heike
RV Parks %26amp; Campgrounds at Yellowstone and Teton
Not sure about RV campgrounds in Yellowstone. But in regards to the Tetons...for RV-friendly campgrounds, I would recommend Signal Mtn (no full-hook-ups) and Colter Bay (full hook-ups).
Signal Mountain has nice private sites with occasional spots with great views. Near-by small grocery and restaurant, more central access to the park than Colter Bay. Less crowded.
Colter Bay is more crowded, but it offers a better grocery store, laundry/shower facilities, better access to the lake (where the kids may enjoy a boat tour or renting a small motorboat for you guys to explore yourself (we had fun doing that and having a picnic at our own island on the lake).
With only 6 days between the two parks...I%26#39;d recommend either splitting the time between the two. Or doing 2 nights Grand Teton and 4 in Yellowstone. Also, I would try to stay at campgrounds in the park to optimize your time.

The only RV park inside Yellowstone that has full hookups is Fishing Bridge, which is more like a parking lot type camping experience. If you can camp without hookups, look at Canyon or Madison CG%26#39;s inside the park. West Yellowstone has a number of RV parks, we were looking at Grizzly RV park when we were planning our trip (now staying inside the park!)
Tetons NP Colter Bay has both a RV park and a campground.
Andrea - You are in luck. Yellowstone has a bunch of campgrounds that can accomodate RV%26#39;s! however, only one offers full hookups and that is Fishing Bridge. You can see that here:

If you are looking for a ';quiet'; campground, you are better off investigating some of the national forest campgrounds surorunding the park, or hiding out in Lewis Lake campground way in the back:

Lewis Lake campground is waaaay down south away from most of the attractions, but it sure is quiet! Has a gorgeous lake too. This is a good place if you would like to split time between Teton and Yellowstone.
