Me and my friends are going on a camping trip up to Yellowstone National Park. We plan on tent camping. The will be between 8-10 of us going. We need to find somewhere they have a group rate that is cheap or we would just like somewhere to dry camp. We plan on leaving the first week of August.
Answer
I suggest that you do a Yellowstone National Park drive-through during a day and go dispersed camping or primitive developed camping in an adjacent National Forest or Grand Teton National Park. August is a busy and hot time to camp in Yellowstone National Park.
Look at Shoshone National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, Targhee National Forest, Custer National Forest as a few alternatives.

My family an I are planing a camping trip in late July. We have 6 children they are 12,10,9,8,3 and 1. We camp in a tent and love to hike. Last year we went to Glacier and we all loved it. We took the kids on a 12.8 mile hike on the high line trail they did awesome. We have been camping and hiking with them since they were very little. Any way my mother-in-law keeps suggesting that we go to Yellowstone this year. So my question is we love to hike and we also don't like tons of people. Which is a better fit for us??? Thanks

I've been to both parks and have plans to visit both again in late June. Like you I enjoy hiking and dislike crowds. Glacier is one of my favorite parks and I've been to 37 of our 58 national parks so far. In my opinion if you and the kids have seen Yellowstone before and would prefer the solitude of the mountain trails, then skip it and go to Glacier. However, if you haven't been to Yellowstone before, don't knock it until you've seen it. Why not split your time and spend two or three days in Yellowstone before going to Glacier to escape the crowds.
Yellowstone is a one of a kind national park and certainly worth a visit. I'm sure the kids will appreciate seeing the various thermal features (hang on to the little ones when on the boardwalks) and Yellowstone Falls. The crowds will be concentrated around the more accessible sites but you can get away from a lot of that by going to the more remote locations or those that require some effort to get to. As an example, you'll probably find tons of people at the lower Yellowstone Falls viewpoints scattered along the northern rim of the canyon but if you drive over to Artist's Point you'll find it less crowded. And, if you hike down to the lower viewing platform you'll find much, much fewer people there because of the effort required to get there and back. The same can be said of the Geyser Hill trail overlooking the Upper Geyser Basin where Old Faithful is located. To get away from the crowds, hike out to the Lone Star Geyser or up to Mt Washburn. There are ways of escaping the crowds even in a heavily visited park like Yellowstone. Pick up a book on Yellowstone trails and you may decide to spend your entire week there.
If it turns out that you don't enjoy your time in Yellowstone, at least you can tell grandma "been there, done that." Whatever you decide, have fun.
