We also have stayed at Flagg Ranch. Nice RV Campground and it backs up to the Snake River. It is convenient to both Yellowstone and Jackson Hole.

Flagg Ranch Wyoming is conveniently located between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. This resort village can be found 55 miles north of Jackson Wyoming on Highway 191/287/89.

Located 55 miles north of Jackson, 82 miles west of Dubois, 45 miles from Old Faithful, 100 miles from Mammoth Hot Spring, and 75 miles from West Yellowstone, Flagg Ranch is truly in the middle of it all.

I towed the beartooth this summer in the rain. It wasn't bad with my rpod 189. It is a smaller trailer, but still has an 8' width axle. Would tow again without blinking an eye. I was more stressed towing in Yellowstone where there is no signal l shoulder and a lot of people. Great drive.

X2 for Perry's rv park. Clean quiet park. Ask for a site in the lower loop so you are away from the river.

Make sure you get wilcoxsen ice cream in Montana. It is the best.

What size was your RV? We're thinking about taking the Beartooth out of Yellowstone in our Grey Wolf 22MKSE. We'll be cutting it close though, as we should be leaving Yellowstone around the 14th of October, so I'll be hoping for late snowfall this year!

Beartooth highway closed for the season Sept 23 last year. Better be looking for another way out of the park.

Yeah, it will be a bonus if we can do it, but we definitely have another route planned, and likely.

We stayed at a campground/fishing camp with cabins(it had a restaurant that served breakfast and lunch), that was north and west just a bit from West Yellowstone. Campfire Lodge and Resort. It's seasonal. It was about 20 minutes from the west gate.

Camping outside Yellowstone

There is a town right outside the west gate called West Yellowstone and there are 3 really nice campgrounds in that town with complete full hookups. Also outside the North Gate the town of Gardner there are 2 full hookup campgrounds. There are no other campgrounds inside Yellowstone with full hookups that I know of and if you have a very big rig you won’t get in them anyhow.

We saw Yellowstone and Jackson Hole staying at the Gros Ventre Campground in the Teton National Forest (many years ago) There are 300 sites but only five can be reserved. Ten electric sites available for ADA campers. The rest are first come, first served. 36 sites have electric. Limit of two weeks stay. Some sites can accommodate rigs up to 45 feet. Beautiful area.

The first Europeans to see the area were French traders who arrived in spring when many Native American women were pregnant. They named the local indiginous people the Gros Ventre (big belly) Indians.

Cooke City camping

Hi, we live in Montana and have camped in cooke city. Their FSA campgrounds do not have electric. I can't think of any commercial RV parks. In yellowstone, Bridge Bay campground has some electric sites for individuals who need it (e.g., cpap, oxygen, etc.) I believe they are open now, but check on the electricity before you make a res. It's a huge campground, over 400 sites. Hubby and I worked maintenance there 10 years ago when we were "youngsters." (we're 75 and 82 now.)

You could always go to West Yellowstone. There are a few RV spots in town, but they're pricey.

Best of luck, and enjoy the Park!

We visited Yellowstone last year and like the OP we hoped to stay at Fishing Bridge, but they were closed in 2019 for their renovations. So we opted to stay in West Yellowstone just outside the Yellowstone's West Gate at Grizzly RV Park.

It was a great campground and only about 1/2 mile to Yellowstone's West Gate.

Safe Travels.

We stayed at the National Forest Wapiti Campground, between Cody and the East gate. We had an electric site, they have water you can fill the tank and the cleanest vault toilet ever. Very pleasant and 20 miles from the gate.

Yeah, we were in West Yellowstone on Sept 20, 2019 and I was looking forward to towing the Rpod over the Beartooth, but on our exodus day, a foot of snow was predicted. That was a no go.

We opted to go around through Bozeman.

But the Beartooth is my favorite paved road. It is just awesome. We camped near the NE entrance of Yellowstone and saw a grizzly on our campground. We took a pickup camper over the Beartooth on that trip.

We stayed at Henry’s Lake State Park in Island Park, Idaho. It’s just a short drive to the gate at West Yellowstone. We drove into the park very day.
