Hello Phil,
We are currently at Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone. We drove through Island Park yesterday there is a lot of snow on the ground between here and there but the road was dry for the most part.
The question of driving THRU the park just now is changing day to day. Currently not all of the roads are open in the park. They are plowing everyday but, they also have had some new snow recently. You might want to call ahead to see if the roads you need are open.
The roads in the park are 35 to 45 mph, narrow and have buffalo and elk wander across them. We didn't see any 5th wheels in the park today but, there are Motorhomes on the roads so I don't think you will have any problems going thru the park.
As others have said it takes at least a day to do the each of the park loops. There is just so much to see here that it took us 2 hours to go 35 miles today.
Why Island Park? It is about 30 miles over the hill from here and we are about 35 to 40 miles from Old Faithful. If you can get in here at Grizzly RV Park it is one of the nicest RV Parks we have ever been to. They are plowing the sites open with a skip loader and are opening another 5 or so site a day. Of the 198 sites here they have about 30 open so far which twice what they had open last week.
