CC group contributor, great blog on his ventures. Some beautiful shots of Yellowstone. Maybe he can tell us a good time of the year to avoid the school busses full of folks . . .

Thanks for the nice words about our old RV trip blogs.
I've kept the pages active since many people seem to like them for helping plan trips.
Our blog for our last RV trip (boo hoo) in our lovely Intrigue that we did in '09 is at www.mcneillsonthemove.com (upper corner "RV Trip")
I posted a reply to your other query, but just in case...mid-May to mid-June is good and Sept. after Labor Day is good but can be "iffy" towards the end. We were there late Sept. planning to leave the campground and go to Jackson via the southern entrance to Y'stone and woke to several inches of snow...the pass to get to the southern entrance was closed that day so we had to go out the west entrance via West Yellowstone.
Do check the website for Y'stone, though since the campgrounds all have different dates they are open, size requirements, ability to reserve, etc. You do need to reserve FAR in advance.

Jan, thank you so much, that is very helpful. Web sites tend to be "generic" focused at the general public (as they should be), but firsthand knowledge is priceless for the "things I wish I knew before I went".
