Default Campgrounds near Yellowstone?

Planning a trip to Yellowstone and Teton this August. Was wondering if anyone has stayed at either of these campgrounds

Flagg Ranch or Colter Bay?

If not then any other suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

If you can get a reservation at *any* campground near YNP/GTNP, then take it.

Personally, I like the FS campgrounds a little further away from the parks--much quieter, and only an hour away or so.

YOu couldn't pay me to camp in YNP, unless it is in the backcountry, which is what I do. Park and hike in at least a good four hours. Zillions of options.

At GTNP, I like Lizard Creek. It's the quietest campground. Still awesome views, if you get there early and get a lakeside campground.

Flagg Ranch is a good location. That's what I can say.

But, I live out here and have high expectations for a campground. I don't want to be kept awake all night listening to generators and TVs from the RV At the next campsite. Some don't care.

That Ponderosa looks like a very nice place. We stayed in Cody last year on the way out of Yellowstone at a campground across from a great steakhouse on the west side of town. They were friendly and not a bad place. It was only 15 dollars a night for 2 of us. Cody is a nice place to stay at

The Ponderosa in Cody is also biker friendly. Have attended two rallys there.
