One of my favorite destinations is Cody Wyoming. The town itself is
charming but it's proximity to Yellowstone, The Beartooth Highway, The
Buffalo Bill Dam and several other attractions make it worthwhile
spending a week or more, there. All of the nearby campgrounds were
cramped and booked solid. Nicer spots could be found near and in
Yellowstone, but most had no sewer and some had no water or electric.

How far in advance should reservations be attempted at those nearby
campgrounds...any idea?

Not sure, but I would recommend at least a month for Cody if you want
full hookups. Due to a campground screwup, we had to spend our first
night at Walmart with about 30 other RVs. I don't know anything about
the federal campgrounds other than they looked pretty nice from the road.

We've 'almost' stayed at WalMart a couple times, but changed our
minds. We've stayed at Flying J's and Pilots several times. The RV's
stay out front, not back with the trucks, and we've never had a
problem. Usually the food is pretty good also.

Nice thing about an RV. You can stay lots of places where there is no
hotel available. In 1986, I had a sabbatical from my company. We bought a
Class A motor home and towed a VW Rabbit. Did not have to worry if there
was a room available when we got to an area. Ate healthier, and the kids,
10 and 13 at the time could do crafts while traveling. Was not Walmart
parking in those days, but next to a lake in Georgia, nice camp ground in
E. Islip, NY and take the train in to Penn station. Nice way to take 2
months to see the country. Stayed in a campground somewhere near a Metro
stop for DC. Couple long days. One, for two tours of the White House.
8am for the East Wing tour, and a private west Wing tour in the evening.
Helps to have friends. Nice way to travel. Not cheaper than motels, but a
lot more convenient.
