On our return trip last year we went through Challis and spent the night in Round Valley RV park. Nothing special, but if you are only there for 1 night. I'm not sure how far from the venue, but it can't be much.

We did the whole park thing like ten times. For fishing go elsewhere. My family prefers the Henry fork of the snake river in island park. No guide needed and nowhere near as busy as the park. For sightseeing you are 30 minutes from west Yellowstone. Also, the Henry Fork is spring fed and your boys can play in the water there. It’s cold, but nothing like the waters of Yellowstone.
We also enjoy fishing the Grois Ventre river around Jackson. Just something about catching native cutthroats.

The Lamar Valley and Slough Creek on the North side are pretty awesome if you like to hike a little and get away from people. We fished the Snake on the south side of yellowstone and did a float on the Snake in Grand Teton NP down from Jackson Lake/Moran. Most beautiful part of the country with great cutthroat fishing. I used Snake River Angler for the float trip and was very happy. Fishing the Madison west of West Yellowstone is excellent also.

I've been to Yellowstone several times (5-6) and always stayed in Big Sky, just north west of Yellowstone. I fished with Gallatin River Guides every time and had a great time each visit. Diesel was my guide every trip and always had me on fish. It's been 3 or so years since my last visit, but would recommend them.

Thanks for all the tips, we had a great time, with lots of memories made! Here's some pictures of the highlights. We sadly weren't able to make the logistics work out for BBR, with the kids needing to be back for school, but the rest was awesome. We burned almost 500 gallons of gas over the week, saw all the antelope, elk, and bison you'd ever want, and saw 4 different black bears, one of which was radio collared.
Only got to fish one morning, but it was magical. The creek I was fishing is only open in August and September, and chock full of native cutthroats. I had two hours of a mayfly hatch that I was getting a rise every drift, and landed more than 12.
I'm glad we did Yellowstone, and I enjoyed it, I'm not sure we'll be back. But we fell IN LOVE with Jackson. I'm already planning our return trip(s).
