Best Campgrounds near Cody, WY

We found this spot to stay overnight before visiting Cody and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. We got a great spot with amazing views of the sunset. The road is rough in just a couple of spots, but we saw vans and a large Class C make it up here no problem. It was very quiet at night. There is a highway to the north, but the hills block most of the noise. Verizon cell reception was poor but did work. Starlink had super fast speeds. Sites were clean and definitely worth a look.

Fantastic spot. Well maintained road. Clean. Beautiful vistas, Elk, etc. A bit windy, but no complaints here. Very minor road noise during the day, but nothing but crickets and Coyotes at night. Would definitely come again.

Lots of shady trees. Full hookups. Shower laundry etc

Nice campground with clean bathrooms. Nice shady sites on rock creek but close together , also more open sites up higher near road.

(October 9th, 2023) This was the perfect place to stop on our way out of Yellowstone! It wasn’t clear if there were designated camping spots, but we parked at the end of an empty plateau like some other vans we could see in the distance. Stargazing was incredible, and the views during sunrise were amazing! It was windy on top of the hills, but fine for car camping.

Had an amazing night staying here on our way to Yellowstone. Easily accessible from the main road and lots of pull offs and turn arounds. We stayed in one of the first designated spots because we had a 20ft camper and there was only one other person we saw staying a couple hundred yards down the road. Great place to stop for the night or stay for a few days, close to town yet isolated in a beautiful desert.

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.

Stayed 7-31-24

Everything you expect from a standard KOA + Free pancakes.

Beautiful managed campsite right on the beartooth scenic byway in Montana. No cell service (at all, no matter your provider) but you’re a quick 15 minute drive to the town of Red Lodge with everything you could need.

Perfect amount of tree cover in these campsites with gorgeous views of the Beartooths and scenic hikes every direction. There are three campsites on this main road loop (Greenough, Parkside, and Limber Pine). All have a mix of first come first serve sites and pre-booked sites.

This area is huge so there’s plenty of space to camp, you may see other RVs on the distance. I love that there’s very good phone reception.

Late night had to find something. Had open space, took it. Buggy, by a creek, decent amenities, pretty clean.

We had our itinerary set to stay at this site and then the weather turned terrible and it started snowing. We only had a tent with us and the wind was whipping so we had to pack up and head to Red Lodge. I was SOO disappointed because I had been so excited to spend the night here. Unfortunately I couldn’t convince nature to cooperate. We already have plans to buy a camper van and return to this site next year because the view is worth the trip!

Getting into the area was easy and there wasn't much there other than solitude over a vast long and wide grasslands valley and a humongous 360 degree sky view. Very little shelter from the wind, however if you set up against the small hills just right, you'll have just enough shelter when things a blowing. July 1 was dry and there were herds of deer and a small pack of coyotes wailing in the distance at night. Not too far from Cody, which has an endless rodeo in the summer, it was easy to stay here for free and be close to society too. I will stay here again in my future travels through the area.

Wonderful! Trees , river, wildlife. Camped 6/2/2024. Wish we could've stayed longer than 1 nite. Not crowded . It must get more crowded later in summer and fall. ??? Requires hard sided camp unit.

There’s only about 7 sites with the ability to stay for 14 days in a 28 day cycle. It’s a first come first serve basis. One vault toilet, rules board and a check in box.

I absolutely enjoyed my 4 day stay. It was still pretty early in the season so it wasn’t too crowded. Beautiful views with no heavy traffic.

Each camping site has a picnic table and a fire pit. Each site has wooden outlines of each spot; making it easy to park in your spot and setup camp.

ONLY WARNING! IT CAN GET VERY VERY WINDY UP HERE! I HAVE A PICKUP BOX CAMP BUT I SEEN A TENT TURN INSIDE OUT AND DISAPPEAR.

We stayed a week and really enjoyed the staff and this park. It’s in town by a pretty lake and has Mountain View’s.

Clean and very nice bathrooms with showers. Like home. Internet is good. Away from noisy interstates. The young lady was very nice and extremely helpful.

There are several spots to stay. You here a little bit of noise when u sleep in a tent. Can get windy. But amazing view. People are shooting here.

Friendly staff! Great visit for two weeks in our fifth wheel. Plenty of room for the trailer and truck. The restrooms were very clean and the laundry was in good shape. Cody has so much to do you need at least a week. We went in May and want to go back in the summer to see the rodeo.

Awesome Spot close to Cody 360 Views are Amazing Plenty Room to Park Was the Only One
