In similar excursions into Yosemite, we didn't see any bears... |
My experience was that the park campgrounds along the river on the east side of the highway north of Jackson (it's a side road) were quite enjoyable, though typical first come, first serve. I was tent camping at the time, so can't tell you how good the RV sites are.
We also have stayed at the commercial campground (forget name) just south of the yellowstone south entrance.. Lots of generators running, folks who had moved in for the summer, and bored teenagers wandering through campsites. They take reservations however, and do have a convenience store across the road.
