Yellowstone camping

Fishing bridge is one of many campgrounds located in Yellowstone N.P. We stayed there in June 2012. This is the only one with full hookups inside the park. No tents are allowed in the campground. Only hard sided RVs due to bears. There are pay showers at entrance/ check-in as well as a museum and ranger programs if you like to earn your badge. We were asked to drip our water so it wouldn't freeze. It snowed on our first night which was a shock for us Floridians.There was a very nice general store/ dining area within a short walk and plenty of woods for the boys to build forts with downed wood although I must say I was a little worried about bears. Of course, the main attraction here is Old Faithful and we visited it on the first opportunity to wait and see the beautiful geyser which erupted about every 90 minutes. We explored the bottom loop in the park for a day with the boys dragging them out to most of the hydro-thermal wonders. We did get to see a coyote, Canadian geese, elk, a grizzly bear (very far away) and huge herd of bison. I walked up on the elk and took some close-ups. ( yes I am one of those crazy tourists taking pics) This park is huge and we had only scratched the surface. We also chartered a fishing boat another day and went out on Lake Yellowstone for an opportunity to catch some fresh trout. A very unsuccessful day on the lake. we had to throw everything back which was mostly cut throat. We saw many beautiful things here but would love to go back one day and explore some more of the Northern part of the park.
