Big spaces, well maintained, nice sanitation station, awesome views.

If you can stand a bit of cold, there's some absolute diamonds to be found out there, with all the beauty, and none of the crowding. Buffalo Bill State Park on the lakeshore is just such a site. 

There's a number of sections, divided between one for RVs and two for Tents (drive-in). While the RV section features electric and water (there's also a dump station on the way out/in), all the sites have picnic tables and a fire pit.

The big draw, of course, is the gob-smacking view of the lake and surrounding hills. There's a public access boat launch, but in the stillness of late October, nothing spoiled the absolute stillness of the spot.

Nice park no full hook ups, and not many sites with water so plan with time.

Great spot to re-group... Since we could not get a spot in YS for our rig, we use BBST as a home base. We were able to leave our rig to tent camp in YS. And yes is very windy at times.... Also watch out for the bugs they can be ferocious went the wind does down.

We had wanted to get a site at the north fork, but ended up with a no hookup site at the lakeshore campground as that is what was available.  Note of caution, it can get very windy here, with strong gusts.  Our staked canopy actually flew off while my wife and kids were relaxing in it and almost flew into the lake.  Staking fail in me, but please be prepared.  There isn't a ton of shade or privacy, but the sites are spaced well enough.  Primitive vault toilets, not water.  Being down by the water was very nice, and the night sky was full of stars.  We used this as a base camp for Yellowstone; also be warned the east entrance road is quite windy, and it will take an hour or so to get where you want in the park depending on traffic.  This camp is located close to Cody, so supplies and a good meal (BBQ, prime rib buffets etc) are minutes away.  The Buffalo Bill Dam visitors center is actually quite well done and worth a pit stop.
