How do I convince wife to camp (tent) in YellowStone National park?

She has never camped in a tent. And most of all she is concerned about our safety as late May there may be a lot of hungry bears that are coming out of hibernation. I wouldn't want to compromise safety either, given we have a six year old son. But how could I convince her that front country tent camping is safe during late May?

Answer
Bears are only after food. Keep your site clean and store your food properly and you are unlikely to have any problems.

That means no candy wrappers or food containers in your tent, pockets, or left in your car. The same goes for cosmetics. Bears have a keen sense of smell. I have been camping almost every year since I was a kid in the 1940's and have never had a problem with bears when my food was properly stored and trash properly disposed of. National Parks in bear country have steel food storage lockers at each campsite. Follow the rules and everything will be fine.

I got a roomy tent tall enough to stand erect any have room to walk around in. A Queen size air bed that is standard height. I invested in a porta-potti.

When I served my wife her breakfast in bed the first morning she was hooked.

Now in our seventies and my sweetheart is still an avid camper.

what are the best campsites in Yellowstone Park?

we are traveling to Yellowstone National Park in mid-June. We will be tent camping for four nights. What are the âbestâ campgrounds in the park? We judge on the following criteria: not crowded; private; best scenery; close to areas of interest; wildlife, etc...
if you have any pictures from your stays, that would be very helpful!
also - we are montana natives and will be coming from Missoula, so we are looking for the more northern campsites.

Answer
Camping in the park during June is going to be *very* crowded. Unless you hike into back country sites. That is the only way you are going to get a un-crowded and private campground in the park... you will probably get the best views in those areas too.

If I was you - I would camp outside the park in one of the National Forests - you will be really close to the park for trips into the park - but far more secluded - and the scenery in those areas are just as good (or better even) than at the campgrounds in the park - and they cost less to stay at...

Two of my favorite campgrounds in the area are: Fox Creek and Crazy Creek.... Beartooth Lake is just AMAZING - but is a little further away from the park - may have a couple people at the campground as well.... but you will have by far the best view I have ever seen at a campground in the area.
