Road conditions and seasonal availability significantly impact camping options near Greybull. Most national forest campgrounds in the nearby Bighorn Mountains operate from June through September, with many closing after Labor Day. Winter camping is primarily limited to lower-elevation sites and established RV parks in town. As one camper noted, "We pulled off of highway 16 to explore and found a lot of options for camping. The area is flat with stone fire pits, though it gets very windy but dies down through the night." Dirt roads leading to dispersed sites can become impassable during spring runoff or after heavy rain, particularly at higher elevations where weather conditions change rapidly.

Many forest service campgrounds feature clean vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, though most lack electrical hookups or shower facilities.

TravelerWe typically prefer dispersed camping but this was a nice paid campground. The water was wonderful to listen to and the sites were nice and big. Our only complaint was a rather aggressive camp host.
TravelerEasy to find, but most of the meadow sites on the fringes were taken up by RVs. Much to choose from if you take the rocky road. I have a 4x with clearance so I drove in a ways to get some space. Much to choose from if you drive a ways. Deer came to visit during the day. Rainstorm rolled in on my first night so it was pretty chilly. But next day was beautiful. I would come back again.
GuideLocated just down the street from a Albertsons grocery and on the outskirts of town( less than 5 minutes to “Main Street” and 8-10 minutes to the rodeo. The campground has streets on two sides of it, but we didn’t noise at night. Laundry area was extremely nice & new. ($2.50 to wash/$2.50 to dry). Very friendly personnel and quick check in process. I’d say it’s a typical private campground with tight spaces. There are some sites with trees for shade to sit under towards the inside loop. (Back in sites have nobody behind them but just for small rigs/vans etc)
RangerCamped at Site #9. Site has a steep downhill entrance so larger trailers wouldn’t be to level. I have a 24 foot trailer and it fit just right tucked in the site. This site has a wonderful view of the lake, is out of the wind, and trail leading down to the lake.
Site 10 is a LARGE double wide and flat site. It has a stunning view of the lake and a breeze through it all of the time.
Camp host was great, always busy cleaning and doing things around the campground.
Vault toilets are spotless and always kept clean.
Potable water is very good and you can fill up fresh water tank easily.
Tent camping sites are placed in the pine woods and are down closer to the lake.
Some nice trails around the lake in areas.
No cell phone service which is GREAT way to fully disconnect and enjoy the beauty.
Will stay here again.
ScoutWife and I were supposed to spend the night in Cody but realized our reservation was for the next day. We called KOA last minute and Kim was so gracious as to help us out with finding a place to stay. The rates are affordable, the sites are clean, and the bathrooms are incredibly well kept. Thank you!!
GuideLots and lots of places to pull up and camp! Fairly level spots too! The roads weren’t horrible coming in, so with some care, low profile might be okay.
The views are incredible! 360 with dope mountain views to the west. We got to watch a storm roll in, which while slightly concerning was beautiful. It definitely gets windy here given the lack of coverage!
TravelerThis was a great base camp near Cody, Wyoming however, it does get extremely windy here. It’s a good location about an hour from the East entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Also the Outlaw mountain biking trails are really good and they are nearby. There is plenty to do in Cody Wyoming. It’s a great town and this is a wonderful place to stay. Just beware of the deer mice ensure that your camping situation is completely sealed up. This is easy in and easy out and would be just fine in the rain. This is searchable on Google maps as Eagle Pass South. Eagle Pass North is on the other side of the road.
GuideThis is a busy campground. Seems to be a base camp for ATV but it is quite. Sites 14 & 15 have no shade or protection from the wind. The other sites sit next to the creek. Drinking water was good and the pit toilets were clean.
GuideUsually, I just disperse camp just cause it’s easy and cheap but this campground was just as good! The roads were really muddy so we ended up just staying here. Very peaceful and quiet campground! We saw many dear. Each campsite has picnic table a hook and a fire pit. We had a really good view of the meadow behind us and right next to us were the vault toilets. We paid $22 for one campsite.
