If you also make YouTube videos, you don’t have to break the bank on production value! Audio is more important than video, but a nice video camera will blur the background a bit.

I know one thing about camping in Yellowstone National Park and that’s to be sure that you pack warm clothes and go when it’s warmer. My family and I visited Yellowstone National Park in the 1950s in August and we camped in a tent. It was so cold we wore our pajamas under our day clothes and our pajamas over our day clothes. And still didn’t get warm. Otherwise it was a good place to visit. Old Faithful was pretty cool and the hot mud/water holes were interesting to watch. A bear even joined us as we were waiting to go into a restaurant. Actually it was more interested in the garbage cans but it wasn’t very far away. We knew not to disturb it or make any noise. Even as kids we knew not to bother a bear. God bless.
Thanks so much! I know putting these videos together takes a lot of work.
Thanks for the information and it is very usual for our road trip next year!! Merry Christmas!! (Booked the campsite in next summer).
do you guys have a detailed video on backpacking Yellow stone??
The junior ranger programs happen in the campgrounds?
great informative video! we are posting our yellowstone video tomorrow, but visited back in August! We stayed with our travel trailer in Gardiner MT and it was perfect. Maybe we will stay in the park in our downsized trailer next time 🙂
So helpful!!!!
These camping fees are outrageous!! I can’t believe this. We camped at Fishing Bridge in our 25 ft. motor home first come, first serve, in the ’80’s and paid $3.00 per night. What has this world come to!! I’m so glad we travelled the U.S. when we did!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m looking for experience video how you choose your camp site ,why you choose that site , how many go , what you take , basically I’m trying get in your thoughts when planning 😉
Anyone has the list of the camp locations that has the shower and bathroom available?
What campgrounds alow tents and have electrical outlets inside Yellowstone national park
Great tips. Thank you for sharing. We just booked our trip to Yellowstone & Grand Teton for August 2023 so will watch all your relevant videos. Appreciate the work that goes into making these. Thank you
Already reserved my campgrounds for next year in Yellowstone. It books up fast. Since people are not traveling outside of the US as much, it’s highly recommend to reserve campground like now if it’s available. First come first serve, is going to be disappointment next year for many that does it.
Awesome video with useful info for first-timers like us!
