What campers like
River access: Cabin accommodations near water features rank highly among visitors. According to Chrysti B. at Foothills Campground, "Starting April 2023, the campground has been getting updates, remodels and new additions. If you have been here previously, you may not recognize it anymore."
Shade trees: Many cabin sites feature mature trees that provide relief from summer heat. Anthony B. describes Ten Sleep RV Park: "This campground is in a grove of trees with the sites along dirt roads in the grove. Each site has water, sewage, and electric."
Pool amenities: Some cabin accommodations include access to swimming facilities. Joan at Cody KOA mentions: "The pool area is the highlight with 2 pools (one kiddie) and a hot tub. All very clean. The basketball area is very nice too but too hot to play for us today."
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most cabin facilities in the area close during winter months. According to a visitor at Bear Lodge Resort: "We were hoping to camp at Sibley Lake campground but it was full. And so was the next one and the next one... Finally it was after dark and we pulled into Bear Lodge Resort. For just $17 they gave us a pull through site with full hookups and a fire ring."
Wildlife awareness: The mountains contain bear populations requiring proper food storage. CarrieIsWhere? P. advises: "No water or Toilets so plan accordingly, and check out the Bighorns USDA Website for any burn bans or camping information you may need! There are bears out in this forest, recommend putting all food in your hard sided truck, Car, or camper! A human fed bear is a dead bear!"
Shower costs: Some facilities charge for shower use. At Ten Sleep Rock Ranch, Annie C. notes it is "$5 a night with $2 showers, the bathhouse is pretty clean, there is an outdoor kitchen with sink, two fridges for camper use(mark your items!)."
Tips for camping with families
Child-friendly amenities: Look for cabins with nearby playgrounds and activities. At Greybull KOA, Vena B. shares: "We loved everything about this campground. My 4 yo son loved the pool and the playground. My 12 daughter loved the WiFi and extra clean showers and bathrooms."
Recreation options: Some cabin locations offer both indoor and outdoor activities. "There's a playground, large outdoor chess and scrabble," notes Joan about Cody KOA, providing options for different weather conditions.
Cabin selection for families: Families should book cabins with appropriate space and amenities. Monica W. at Shell Campground observed: "Very nice camp host and beautiful campground. A little spendy for what they had to offer us. We ended up not staying because it was $30 for us to park in gravel in the middle of their lot."
Tips from RVers
Connectivity considerations: Cell service varies throughout the region. Tim R. notes about Ten Sleep RV Park: "No T-Mobile service," which affects both cabin guests and RVers relying on mobile connectivity.
Electrical capacity: Most cabin and RV sites offer standard electrical service. "Sites are extremely close. There are no trees. Hook ups for RVs are adequate," according to Joan at Cody KOA, indicating cabin campers should check power requirements for any devices.
Late arrival options: For travelers arriving after standard check-in times, some facilities offer flexible arrangements. Logan B. at Foothills Campground reports: "We pulled into this small town at 7pm needing a place to stop for the night and they helped us right away."
