Nice campground with clean bathrooms. Nice shady sites on rock creek but close together , also more open sites up higher near road.
In short the campground had a bear owners knew about, but didn’t inform the people booking. 3 year old child gets attacked & all campers immediately evacuated. Campground doesn’t reimburse the patrons as promised. Greedy low life’s.

Everything you expect from a standard KOA + Free pancakes.
This camground was fairly quiet. Close to town. Only issue with this campground is how they have sites marked. Took a little bit to figure out the site markers for tent camping. They have little concrete circles on the ground with numbers. After we figured that out it was easy to get set up and paid.
Very nice ladies at the office/store. Little creek runs alone one side, tall pine trees…just a nice feel to the campground. The showers had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. It was nice that they have a little off leash enclosed dog run. Just right for our 1 year old puppy. Saw kids enjoying the huge bouncy “platform”. We have this on the list to come back if we journey this way again.
We didn't get to spend a ton of time here, just one night, but it's a pretty standard KOA. All the things you'd expect, like the activities and lodging options. We stayed in a kamping kabin and got a queen+ bunk beds version which I wasn't expecting. We had thought we had the queen-bed only. There wasn't much to be done about it as everything was booked. The bathrooms were clean and the dishwashing station was well maintained. The pool looked nice but we didn't get a chance to test it out. The tent sites along the side of the property were shaded and looked nice, but the ones in the middle were pretty basic with no trees.
The campground was nice, typical KOA experience, which is good. Downside is spots are close together and LOTS of freeway noise
Stayed two nights after YNP. Sites gravel, level, hook ups good. The pool was closed for cleaning after some flooding when we arrived, but had it open very soon. Grandkids liked the pool.
Quite at night.
Nice place for a few days.
Showers and rest rooms clean and good.
The host was super accommodating. It was raining and she recommended the “cabin” so we were sheltered. The cabin had two cots in it. So used our sleeping bag and pads. Showers were hot. Cleaning drinking water. Portapotty by the “cabin”. Short drive into the town, which is worth a visit! Very cute.
We showed up for our overnight stay on our way out west and the campground appeared abandoned. We received an email confirmation several days before our arrival stating that we must check in on arrival but there was no place to do so. A different camper was in the site we had reserved and we tried all phone number we could find and no one answered at 5:02pm. We sent an email to the campground immediately and are waiting for a response. Thankfully, we found a different campground 70 miles away with availability.
This campground was an amazing place for a nice getaway. Plenty of sites, easy access, and lots of beautiful views. We saw some turkeys, an elk, and a moose on our drive in!
Staff was very friendly. Sites are gravel. Cute little coffee house. Laundry room was clean & spacious. Friendly horses as you enter. Nice size dog area, but beware of the attacking black birds!!!! We had Wi-Fi when we first checked in. Within a few minutes rain came through & we lost power. The Wi-Fi at the sites never came back on. We lost power twice while we were there. The local power company needs to trim some trees or update the grid. Close to a highway but pretty quiet. Nice little guns & ammo shop on site. Other than the power & wifi issue this is a great campground!!
Pretty straight forward KOA nothing near by we ended up moving but would stay again
Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so excited to have Rod's property on our platform! So many ways to stay, from Tee-Pees to tents! We've heard the breakfast Rod & Mickey offer is one of the best (sausage from the farm, need we say. more?!) Bring your friends and family and experience this gorgeous property for yourself. There's nothing like it. Leave your experience here!
Very clean KOA with a pool for kids. Offers shuttle to nightly rodeo in town. Lots of BIG RVs with pull through spaces. They actually had a pretty good area for tents too.
Park is well maintained and the park WIFI works good, I was parked across the street from the office.
Me and my family really enjoyed staying here. The manager and front desk person were really friendly.
This campground is very good. The pool is great and small. The campsites are great the grill was so close to our trailer. Our dogs loved it. It's a great campground you have to go
There’s so much to do here! My littles (6&8) loved the playground, the fishing pond, it’s far enough from the road to be quiet and safe. It’s new so the trees are pretty young still. Gravel not pads.
Okay park with nice staff. Not to far of a bike ride to Cody. There is a bus that goes to the rodeo every night, but we stayed in the hot tub and pool. Cool little lake just up the road too. Great place to chill for a couple of days.
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.
cheap to rent a spot
Nicely maintained KOA with friendly staff. Lots of shade. New management has renovated the lodge. AT&T service was excellent.
Needed to be back on the grid for a few days and this is a great place to do it. Fast internet, nice spots, and pretty empty this time of year. Very worth it.
Stayed here over Labor Day weekend so it was FULL. But (most) of the spots are large and spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded. There are snakes by the river (lots of rocks) and no cell service for MILES in any direction. Quiet, nice fishing access, nice spot for rock hounding too. “Boat ramp” is unusable IMO tho.
Nice convenient town to get things ready before hitting the Yellowstone. Walmart, Rodeo, Verizon, etc. If you tent, you will be camping on the greens in the center of the park with RVs surrounding you, but we didn't mind for one night. Not really a changing space for the shower, so either figure out how to change and take shower in the shower, or be okay with a bit of public changing. Paid $20 for the tenting.
This campground was right off the interstate and close to the tracks. We went to go park and our site was occupied. They did accommodate us in an overflow spot near long term. They have a bounce pad for the kiddos, must have measured 20ft x 50ft.
