On today’s episode of The RV Atlas podcast we are answering questions from members of The RV Atlas Group on Facebook.  Winter may still have its icy grip over many of our group members–but that is not stopping them from planning their spring and summer camping trips. Many of the questions in the group are travel and campground related right now as our group members turn their attention towards spring camping. In this Q+A episode of our podcast we answer questions about Grand Teton and Yellowstone and flying and camping instead of taking an RV. We also offer up some great recommendations for beach camping on the East Coast.

Here are some of the questions that we discuss in this week’s episode–along with answers from group members:

Q: “Trying to figure what the lessor of the two evils is.  We are in the process of planning/booking a northern national parks trip for August of this year.  I’m not sure what the best option is for Teton/Yellowstone.  One central campground(Headwaters Campground) and hit both parks for the week.  Or two separate, Colter Bay for Teton and Yellowstone Grizzly for Yellowstone 3 or 4 days each.  Also if you have a more preferred campground, let me know!”

 Ron Brogan Answered…

A: “We have been there four times.  Main advice is don’t short change Teton.  It’s beautiful and a lot to do.  That’s why we recommend using campgrounds in both parks. Second recommendation is to make Old Faithful your #1 stop, watch her erupt a few times, then Go See Yellowstone.  Its a big place with lots to see.  Chack out the northeast entrance road.  Reminds us of Trail Ridge Road in RMNP.”

Erik Anderson Answered…

A: Craig, we concur with the others…do the two campgrounds. When we spent a couple weeks there, we did a combination of West Yellowstone and Grant CG, and then Colter Bay down in Tetons. Yeah, Yellowstone is HUGE…….
