Good choice, you will like Rainbow Point. Nice campground, WAY cheaper than the RV parks and campgrounds inside Yellowstone. Good swimming area on Lake Hebgen, very close to West Yellowstone. There are usually some buffalo hanging around the area as well. Always the possibility of bears as well.
I have to recommend a visit to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery center in West Yellowstone, it's well worth the price of admission just to see the bears. Everything else there is just a bonus.
I would also recommend a trip to Earthquake Lake just a few miles away, as well as checking out the Lewis & Clark Caverns, also not very far away.
The Virginia City and Nevada City ghost towns are also close enough to be worth checking out.
As someone that lives in Montana It's easy for me to recommend more things than you'll have time for. You really need 2 weeks to check out everything that area has to offer.
Edit: I was hoping nobody would mention Rainbow Point. It's my secret camping place when I'm down that direction. I live a couple miles from the west entrance of Glacier Park. Feel free to hit me with questions about this area as well.
