Highways & Railroad noise!
Visitors & staff are so friendly & helpful! Nice pad, good water & electric access, small park but close to river walk which was also nice. Only complaint is the sites are backed right up to the Highway. Would serve the park to build a wall or even just a tall wooden fence to help cover some of the road noise.

Very near the highway with many great spots
Two vault toilets, picnic tables and Fire pits, spaces to Camp or put your RV feet away from the river, good for rigs up to 40 ft total, and you may hear a train going by or some road noise during the day but it's a great self-contained location. No garbage receptacles so pack it out!

Great place to camp!
This was our families first stay at a KOA. We really enjoyed our time. We tent camped. We had electric and water at our site, and we were just a short walk to an inflatable trampoline, a heated pool, the camp store, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. The staff were very helpful with anything we needed. Great campground to stay at!

Beartooth Lake
Nice and quiet location
Very nice little campground albeit a little pricey. If you are looking for a good base camp to go adventuring along the Beartooth Highway, this is a great option. Right along Beartooth Lake, vault toilets in each of the 3 loops and running water in Loop B. Loop C is set the farthest back and some of the sites aren't the most level. I opted for Loop B and it was quite pleasant. You have to get your payment envelope at Loop A. The road can be a bit rough. At $15 a night it seemed like a lot for what I needed. No service with Verizon. Great access to hiking trails.

Dead Indian Campground
Woodsy sites along the Chief Joseph scenic highway in a historic location
A local couple told me that we should check out this campground. They said to take your time and enjoy the Chief Joseph scenic highway drive with all of its overlooks. The scenery driving up out of Cody is unique and inspiring. We stopped halfway down the highway at Dead Indian Campground and enjoy the scenery from camp.

The campground is split on two sides of the creek. The host is on the Cody side along with 5 sites. The garbage bin is also over there. We chose to stay in site 10 which is one of the other 5 across the creek. You take the main highway over the creek and then into this area. This site is large and has a short trail that leads right to the creek. We enjoyed the short walk on the campground road the continues past our site. We found a clear view of the powerful creek and a beautiful skyline. One site is a secluded walk-in for tenters. There are clean vault toilets on each side. Bring in your own water or purify some from the creek. The vegetation is a bit tall in the sites on this side. Site 10 was great but the others looked less inviting.

There is a hiking trail just down the road in each direction. One leads into the canyon and the other into the meadows. The trail into the canyon is the route that Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce used to avoid a trap by the military. Just as we were about to hike the thunderstorm rolled in. Thus we can only say that the start of the trail was good especially with the history adding value.

This year it’s cool but the host said it’s normally hot. She said all the green grass is usually yellow.

This is a nice stop along a beautiful scenic drive. This is grizzly territory so take appropriate precautions.

Riverside City Park
NOW OPEN
This park was closed but it is now open. We are here in a motorhome. There mat have been water and electic hookips previously, but I believe that all sites are dry camping. There are several very long pull throughs. Park is nice and green at this time of year. They have obviously been improving the grounds. No picnic tables but there are fire pits. Park is on the river. There is a boat ramp. Scenery is marred a bit by an oil refinery nearby but overall it is very nice. We are in site #PT2 at $20 per night.
