Traveler
Tent camped for 1 night along the river. The tent sites are close together so it was pretty noisy with people snoring and rustling around in their tents. It’s right off a main road so there’s a lot of traffic noise as well. This spot might be better for RV campers. For tent sites you aren’t allowed to park on the grass so you have to haul everything from your car. Great views all around. Don’t forget bug spray!
ScoutThis is one of the most picturesque places to camp. Surrounded by mountains and right on the Shoshone River, this is a bit of Heaven on earth.
There is only one flush toilet/(paid) shower facility in the North Fork campground (none in Lake Side), but there are accessible vault toilets within walking distance from anywhere. The tent sites have HUGE tent pads, plenty of room for our 9x12 cabin tent and solar panels. All sites have large concrete picnic tables and the tent sites have privacy walls which are separate to the tent pads. And the tent sites are spaced very far apart, so you never feel cramped.
Cody, WY is pretty close if you need to stock up on supplies and Yellowstone is just 44 miles down the road.
Ranger
Nice RV Park with lots of trees and a pretty river running next to the park. Tent camping is ok and there are some small cabins.
Legend
Is a good spot to set up if you're looking to explore Red Lodge or the Beartooth Mountains. Nothing fancy but has more amenities than most tent sites
TravelerThe tent sites didn’t have electricity but that was fine for us. The price was good & the owner was nice. We just spent a night here heading to Yellowstone
RangerWhat a gorgeous view! This state park has the best view and is a wonderful base camp for Yellowstone. Only 8 miles from Cody! Make sure and stake your tent down there is some wind. The tent sites do have a wind break wall.
Traveler
This campground is just outside Cody, WY. Easy access for people just passing through, just off a main road. They offer free pancake breakfast in the morning and a very cute store with almost every necessity for campers. tent sites, RV sites, cabins, and TeePees!

What a gem this find was! Free camping with showers and bathrooms as clean as home, close to restaurants and a cute movie theater, and close to the Bighorn Canyon with great wildlife. I took advantage of its location to head towards Cody to visit the Heart Mountain Internment Camp interpretive center as well as to head up Bighorn Canyon to look for wild horses in the Pryor Range. There are about 8 RV pull through sites and about 5 or 6 tent sites, all with picnic tables available(although some tent sites share a table). The tent pads are not really dedicated pads, but they are covered in wood mulch, so they are nice and soft. You do get a little noise and dust from the nearby ballfields, and it was really windy the afternoon I showed up so I was glad I had extra tie downs for my tent. Once the sun set however, the wind died down. While the campground isn’t a destination site, it’s a great stop off while traveling.
Scout
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.
Ranger
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.
Traveler
1 RV site and about 10 tent sites. 2 mile narrow winding road is paved but not recommended for vehicles over 24'. Garbage and 1 common water source. RV site is about as sweet as they come. Water, dump, elect, picnic tables, fire ring, right by a stream. $7 per night
Guide
My wife and I were able to stay here for 3 nights. The grounds feature vault toilets, campfire rings, food storage lockers, and even a hand pump for water. There is someone who sells firewood at the camp which makes things easy on everyone. The tent site was level and large. There are some good hiking trails but they are open to mountain bikers so heads up! They may get pretty muddy. The kayaking was peaceful. I didn't catch much fishing but that's my fault not the campsites! We were on the Wild Bill Lake.
GuideWe came into this campground on a Wednesday and picked the best of three open sites. There were a lot of reserved sites, but they were mostly coming in on Friday.
The site was beautiful and very close to the river (the sound was great). The vault toilets were very clean. The water was available through a easy to use hand pump. The camp hosts had firewood for $5.00 per bundle.
We were tent camping and the site had a large pad, a place for my hammock, a nice wooden picnic table, and a GREAT fire ring. The sites were all very far apart from each other.

Near the base of the Big Horns Mountains, this KOA can make a great stop in between Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore. This is a seasonal campground, opening on the 1st of May. This campground has cabins, full hook-ups(pull-thru, back-in sites) water-electric sites, long-term sites, and tent sites. Amenities include a heated pool, walking path, wi-fi, propane, firewood, pizza, and bathrooms. Campground Rec activities: Fishing, hiking, and golfing.
Overall, pleasant stay and the campground was clean and well cared for. The only negative thing is the noise of the trains through the night.
Guide
Campsite has plenty of spots and decent amenities. Some of the spots have lake access where we saw other campers with their boats tied up to shore. The spots were way too close together for my liking. There were almost no trees, which meant no privacy from other campers. The campsite was EXTREMELY overpriced. We paid $36 for one night of tent camping ($8 vehicle fee and $26 tenters fee). This might be a reasonable price for RVs hooked up to electricity and water, but this was a ripoff for tenters that used only the pit toilet amenity. The lake was pretty, but I will absolutely continue on and camp in the Beartooth Mtns next time around.
LegendIt’s hard to believe that a town creates a free campground for anybody to use. This is well laid out with RV and tent sites. Water, restrooms and showers are all available. There is a donation box for people to offer their own fair value price. Perhaps all towns should offer donation based camping. With the effort the town put into this place, it’s a blessing.
Town is a wonderful place. There are some unique small stores and restaurants. The families sitting in their yard wave as you pass. Right next to the campground is a great park.
This is a wonderful community offering.
GuideWe 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.
GuideWe were so lucky to find this campground! It is a perfect base camp for exploring the east entrance to Yellowstone Nat'l Park. We were looking for a tent camping site & found exactly what we wanted in the lower loop sites #38 & 37. These are RV sites without hookups ($30/night). These sites are reserved through an online site, but the attendant helped us make our reservation when we drove up. The only bad thing is that people reserve sites online & then don't show up. Because the sites are "reserved" no one else can camp there. There is a vault toilet & water pump. The upper loop has very nice pay showers. Firewood is available for a donation or you can collect your own. We have stayed here 8 days & loved it!
RangerThis family owned and operated campground is located outside of the quaint town of Red Lodge and at the entrance to Beartooth Scenic Byway. At first glance you might not thing it is that great but tent sites give you a primitive feel and are right on the heavy flowing Rock Creek making sleeping nice. We had the only kids onsite but quickly found out from other campers this is a site that has repeat visitors and most were older travelers or bikers. Kids are welcome! The mosquitoes in the area can carry you away so prepare your campsite for that. The shower houses were so clean with plenty of hot water! This is a cash only campground! Our recommendations for the area are to spend one day driving Beartooth Scenic Byway and then crossover Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. Stop at the lookouts! We also went white water rafting with Adventure Whitewater! So fun! Bogarts has great food. Enjoy!
Ranger
This campground is located along one of the nations most scenic highways and seems to fill up fast from online reservations. However, if you do get a spot there are plenty of resources here. This includes fresh water spigots, fire pits, picnic tables, firewood (with the camp host), and clean restrooms. In terms of the actual campsite it seems this area is more suited to trailers or RVs. Each site has a long pull in driveway but the area for tent pads seems to be non-existent. You really have to look hard to find a level spot that isn't littered with small to medium sized rocks. On the plus side, the Wyoming Creek runs along the campground muffling any noise from cars that might be on the highway and there are plenty of trails to hike right from the campground. If you have a vehicle with a moderate amount of clearance you can venture further back from the campground and really start to explore some of the back country hiking.
Guide
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.
Guide
Clean creek side campsite with tent only and RV sites available. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, utility post and bear-box
TravelerIt's everything you expect from a KOA. Nothing missed. Had a windstorm during the stay, tent campers were put up in the game room.
Guide
This campsite is very flat! There’s no shade, so be prepared to be hot. We stayed two nights. The first night got chilly at night but was perfect. The second night was incredibly windy so we couldn’t have a fire and had to park our truck in front of our tent to block the wind. But we still had a blast. The host was extremely nice and even offered us a place in her tent if the winds became too heavy. We heard coyotes our first night but did not see any wildlife. The campsite is conveniently located next to the horseshoe bend marina, where you can rent kayaks and canoes, and I think they rent boats as well. And a few miles down the road is Devil’s Canyon. Beautiful sunsets and night skies. Highly recommend!
Scout
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.
LegendThis is a beautiful campground! The Beartooth highway starts going up to the west right here. You must drive this route but plan lots of time for photos.
The campground stretches out along the Wyoming creek. Let your eyes go upwards and glimpse the mountains around you. This campground is in the valley. Large sites are well spread out and wander through the wooded area. Drive through and select the one you like and then fill out the form. Vault toilets and garbage bins are spread out too. We found quite a few open sites but many were reserved. If this one fills up there are a few more down the road.
The trailhead for the Wyoming creek trail is at the start of camp. We saw plenty of cars parked here for day hiking. This is a great place.
TravelerPerry's has great tent, cabin, and RV spots. The bathroom and shower facility is perfect and everything on the site is always well maintained. Have never had a bad experience here, always pleasant.
