Yellowstone National Park & Moose Creek Campground

We stayed here August 2 and 3, located 88 miles north, after driving through Yellowstone National Park as there was no available camping in the park.  We pulled into the campground which has only 13 dry camping spots and we lucked into the last one at about 7:30 PM.  We had to move to another spot the next day as ours was reserved.  Both sites were pull through, so we did not have to detach. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit.  All sites were large enough for my rig and there was water to fill a water bottle or bucket, a ventilated pit toilet and trash receptacle which was large enough to accept a 1 cubic foot bag.  This is located along a river with rafters coming through and many satisfied fisherman.  There is also a little traffic noise from the highway which is not well traveled after dusk.  We paid $7.50 per night with our senior pass and I rate this park F****.





We spent August 1 in a rest area just a few miles east of Cody, Wyoming.  We did visit Old Faithful, the fountain which erupts water and steam on a regular basis.  We just missed the last one and waited about 90 minutes to observe the spectacle.  We watched a free 20 minute movie at the visitor center to pass the time.  No parking for our motorhome and connected Tahoe anywhere near Old Faithful.   We found a pull-off that accommodated our length about 6 miles down the main highway and detached the Tahoe to visit Old Faithful.  We also took a 2 mile hike to visit these colorful pools of water which are very hot, 156 degrees.  I guess there is some algae in the water which gives it the beautiful color.
