Bridge Bay Campground / Colter Bay RV

[bullock1789]

Has anyone every stayed at Bridge Bay Campground or Colter Bay RV.  We are thinking of staying 4 days in Yellowstone (the only 2 campgrounds available are Bridge Bay and Grant Village) and 2 days in Grand Teton.  Will we be happy with these 2 campgrounds?  If not, any suggestions

We have reservations for Grant this summer.  Can't help you with how they are, we've never been there ourselves, but we're looking forward to it.  We'll be visiting Grand Teton NP, but on a day trip basis.  We'll do it from Grant.  From there, we'll be heading up to Glacier NP.  It'll be a 3 week trip for us.
