CG undergoing a lot of renovations

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and needed a base in the area to hike and visit Yellowstone NP. We would have liked to be closer to Yellowstone, but CGs in the area book up quickly. We stayed in site 22 for 3 days in late July. The sites all looked fairly level. There is a quite bit of road noise from US-20, particularly at the upper sites where we were. The lower sites may be quieter and have grass and trees next to the gravel pad. The upper sites are all basically a gravel, sand and dirt lot, which got rather messy when it rained and splashed all the way up our basement doors. This could probably be remedied with another layer of just gravel. That said, the CG is undergoing some major renovations, so maybe things will improve. AT&T coverage inconsistent, ranging from 1-3 Bars of LTE, but service ranged from about 2.5 MB/s to no data service at all. The CG’s WiFi performed similarly. T-Mobile had 1 bar of 4G/LTE, but no data throughput to speak of. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

There isn’t much in Island Park, but West Yellowstone about 28 miles away.
