Hey y’all,

We’re moving from Washington to Utah in July and will be stopping to explore the parks in the title (in that order) for a few days each. We would appreciate any recommendations for places to stay with full hookups and decent wifi. Also any advice on particular routes we should take or not take would come in handy too [emoji6]

Thanks in advance!

Yellowstones Edge is a very nice park outside of Livingston on the Yellowstone River.

We are currently planning a trip through western Washington, then over through Spokane to Glacier and then down to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons.
There are several campgrounds in the West Glacier area. All are a little pricey.
We were able to find an opening at the Glacier Campground in West Glacier and found openings at the Fireside Resort at Buffalo Valley in Moran, WY. for the Tetons.
These parks were full or filling up fast when we made our reservations a week ago for the end of July. So, it depends on when you plan on going.
As for Yellowstone, we have stayed at the Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone (right outside the west entrance). Again, a bit pricey, but a really nice park with great staff and walking distance to Buffalo burgers.

If folks from California consider a campground a "little pricey" it would be VEEERY expensive to us non west coasters.
Yesterday we just clipped the corner of California at Needles heading to Laughlin & gasoline/diesel were $4.30+ per gallon.
Honestly unless your name is Trump or Buffet or some movie star I don't know how you can afford to live there.

There are some extensive YouTube videos from "Loloho" on your destinations. They review a number campsites.

Eddie, give this area a quick read. They asked about the same question as yours:

we stayed in Glacier CAmpground last year before the fire, very nice. Very wooded, but can be a challenge getting backed into some of the spots. I don't remember wifi quality, we don't pay much attention to that and try to update email where there is phone reception. We also stayed at Yellowstone at the Fishing Bridge campground and were quite happy with that. It is tight, but we only slept there so it didn't matter. No wifi and very little phone service. Did a WI-ND-Glacier-MT-ID-YS-SD trip last year and enjoyed it all, especially seeing eclipse in Rexburg ID.

We did the same route really diesel was $460 after we got into Az it dropped 265. I'm thankful for the 90 gallon of fuel on board. I went through Needle Feb 2018
