Enjoying much variety from a single camp is challenging, as any camp would offer maybe 2 or 3 rides
max without repeating yourself. I would suggest moving camp at least once, as each part of the park
is different.
Basing at Madison would provide access to all of the main geyser areas (Norris, Old Faithful,
Midway, Biscuit, etc), plus a 3rd ride along the Madison River.
From Grant Village you could tour Lake Yellowstone, the southern reaches and also Old Faithful.
From Norris, you could hit the Grand Canyon, Norris geysers and Mammoth.
From Mammoth you could reach Norris, Tower Falls and north out of the park.
From Tower Junction, you can reach Mammoth, Grand Canyon and Lamar Valley.
To pick only two . . Tower Junction and Grant Village . . . will give you a taste of all the
major areas.
Of course all of these suggestions assume you are looking for / capable of 35 to 55 mile "daytrips"
in mountainous terrain. Best time of year June, September & October . . . avoid July & early August
waayyy too much traffic.
