Advice for visiting Yellowstone??

Expecting

We are going to Yellowstone for a camping trip, but only have a couple of days to spend there. What things are must-see? I have looked for a detailed map to get to things like Old Faithful but even the park website doesn't really have anything detailed. Also, if you have stayed there, which campground is best? We are tent-camping and would like to have showers and flush toilets nearby.

Answer
I can not fit everything that needs to be said about yellowstone on this post so I suggest you check out this website. It is full of great info and people who will answer any question you have. Have fun, its a great place!

Is it safe to camp in a tent in Yellowstone?

Karen L

We will be in a campground in the park, but people are telling us we're nuts because of the bears. Has anyone else done it? Did you feel safe?

Answer
It's safe, as long as you take reasonable precautions. Nothing should go in your tent if it smells even remotely like food. Do all your cooking, eating, tooth brushing, etc.. well away from the tent (usual guidelines say 100 yards away). To be extra safe, have pajamas or sleeping clothes and don't eat while you are wearing them. You might also avoid un-necessary lotions and perfumes - to make sure you don't smell like food. Getting or renting a bear proof food cannister doesn't hurt, but most tent sites have food poles.
