Opinions on a couple of campgrounds needed

We are looking at a couple of campgrounds: Flagg Ranch (www.flaggranch.com) or Rocky Mountain Camground (www.rockmountainrvpark.com). Anyone stay at either of these places? Did you find them convenient or were they too far from the things we%26#39;ll most likely want to do?





Once we determine the campground, then I can ask more in-depth questions on the what tro do%26#39;s, etc. In the mean time, I%26#39;ve saved several of the websites that you%26#39;ve posted.





Thanks much for the advice!

Flagg Ranch is the most centrally located if you are not going to change campgrounds, which in previous posts you said was what you were planning. The Rocky Mountain CG is in Gardiner, much to far from Tetons to use that as a base.





From Flagg Ranch to Old Faithful is at least 1.5 hours drive each direction (longer if there is traffic and/or a wildlife jam!). From Flagg Ranch to Lamar Valley is at least 2.5 hours drive each way (again longer if traffic!). From Flagg Ranch to Jackson WY is about 1.5 hours driving.





If you are ok with that amount of driving, then go for Flagg Ranch. I still would spend 2 or 3 nights in the Tetons/Jackson area, then 3 or 4 nights in YS area including Gardiner, West Yellowstone areas.

Casa,





Just what I needed to hear! I%26#39;ll need to let the in-laws know that if we stay at either one of those sites, it%26#39;s a lot of driving. While we normally don%26#39;t mind, I hate the thought of paying for gas. Ugh!





Decisions, decisions...
