    Welcome to Cody KOA, a solid spot for camping near Cody, Wyoming. This place has everything you'd expect from a KOA, making it a reliable choice for a comfortable stay. Whether you're in a tent, RV, or looking for a cabin, they've got you covered. The campground is open from May 1 to October 1, so plan your visit accordingly.

    One of the standout features here is the pool area, which includes a kiddie pool and a hot tub. It's a hit with families, and the grandkids especially love it. The showers and restrooms are consistently clean, which is always a plus. If you're into activities, there's a playground, a basketball area, and even large outdoor chess and scrabble sets to keep everyone entertained.

    For those who need to stay connected, the internet is fast, making it a great place to get back on the grid for a few days. The campground also offers a shuttle to the nightly rodeo in town, which is a unique perk you won't find everywhere.

    Cody, Wyoming

    UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AS OF JUNE 2021!!!

    Located just five miles from Cody the Cody Trout Ranch Camp offers a truly unique vacation experience. Rent one of our 39 RV sites, spacious 20′ diameter tipis (8 that sleep 4-5) or sheep herder wagons (2 that sleep 2) on the picturesque Shoshone river or a tipi (2 that sleep 4-5) near our stocked trout pond. We offer picnic tables, two community campfire pits, clean laundry facilities, and clean bath/shower facilities. We are the perfect home base for exploring the historic town of Cody and we are only an hour away from the east entrance to the famed Yellowstone National Park. You’ll love sitting and relaxing by a nice fire underneath the beautiful starry sky and being lulled to sleep by the sound of the running river.

    If you’re the adventuresome type, you can catch your own dinner. Our Tipi and Sheep Wagon camping guests may try their hand at fishing the river, on their own or with a guide and with a Wyoming fishing license. All of our guests may fish without a license in our stocked fishing pond! If you choose to keep your trout from the pond, guests must pay for the trout they keep, they start at $5 per fish. All equipment is provided for pond fishing, but if tipi guests want to fish the river, they will need their own gear. We are open from April through mid-October (depending on the weather). We are pet friendly. Whether you’re here for a few days or a few weeks, we’ll make your stay a memorable one.
