Two things I learned from my trip there:
1) get up early. Most of the tourists hordes come from outside the park around 930am by the time every has their breakfast and are loaded onto buses. I took pictures of Old Faithful erupting at like 0645 and there were like two or three of us out there.
2) The drive through the Beartooths to Red Lodge is pretty damn amazing. And Red Lodge is neat little artsy town.
Oh and the campgrounds are pretty much wooded parking lots - they cram a lot of sites in there. There are first come first serve campgrounds which are much nicer, but they might only have a handful of sites available. Previous nights guests are required to be out by 0700 the day their stay is up and there will be a line of folks ready to claim it at 0701.
