First family vacation to a National Park. There are many camgrounds within the park. We chose this one due to its availability and it's amenities. We don't camp very often and use a tent and camping stove. But like to have a working bathroom and showers nearby. The campground had showers close and a camp store where you can buy just about anything you need. We went in early August. The days were warm but not hot and the nights got chilly due to the elevation. Not sure if the location near the lake helps keep it cooler. I would stay here again but it is located at the south end of Yellowstone so many park attractions are a decent drive 20-30 minutes. If you are going all the way to the North side of the park expect an hour or more.
