We just arrived here and have fallen in love with this place. Cozy, super clean, especially the bathrooms! And it’s not just for RVs. There are cabins and yurts. Host is very friendly and helpful. Totally recommend!
Scout
Very helpful office staff, help backing in (the dreaded electrical meters☹️), very clean. No picnic tables ; pets allowed, but I did not find a pet area? Very clean place; only stayed one night, but would go back.
ScoutSuper easy check-in process. Nothing special but a clean , easy stop for a night. There is a train that goes by if you’re sensitive to noise. We only heard it a couple of times.
GuideThis place was easy to book, it was really pretty and clean. Loved the quiet and birdsong!
GuideClean, cheerful, easy to get in and out- convenient to the highway- highly recommend Only hiccup was how low to the ground the electric was- we had to bend the cord to connect
GuideThis a no-frills spot to spend a night, but wouldn’t want to stay longer. Sites are tightly-spaced without so much as a place for more than one camper to park while checking in. There is nowhere to walk dogs other than the bit of grass at each site or along the road outside the CG, making it really tough when it’s in the mid 90°s and the pavement is hot. I would not stay here again.
Traveler
There are only small sites available and the road up would not accommodate a very large rig. Any car could make it as long as there isn't any snow or ice. All sites are next to a small beautiful stream. All sites have picnic tables, fire rings and small trails between sites along the stream. The falls is maybe less than a mile up the trail. The trail was moderately easy with few obstacles but some small grade climbs. My 9 year old made it fine. There is a single vault toilet in the center of camp and no other facilities. Once they close the highway for the season access will be cut off until thaw. Great place to get away for a few days, daytrip to medicine wheel, Burgess junction, big horn canyon, shell falls, wild horse range and several other smaller attraction. Probably three hours from Yellowstone. Id recommend it for a quiet get away or a stop on the way through. It's about 30 minutes to the nearest store. Bird and wildlife watching, reflection and solitude would be the things you could find easiest here. Very pretty scenery. Cannot stress that enough.
RangerThis is a beautiful little BLM campground. The lower campsites are primarily for tents, and some require a short walk on pathway to access. They are right beside a pretty little creek. Farther up the road are several more sites that would lend themselves to small RVs. They aren't as pretty, as they are more exposed, and you can't see or hear the creek. The big drawback for some will be the very narrow, extremely switchbacked and steep road up to the campground (no guardrails). It really is fine for a car or truck and a short little (think Casita or Scamp), but a sign says no vehicles over 24' and I wouldn't want to do it with anything close to that! Probably for this reason, the campground is usually less than half full and offers a restful visit. The namesake waterfall is less than a mile hike from campground, and is well worth the hike, especially early in the summer.
GuideOnly one spot was suitable for a car camping, the rest were for tents. There is a big waterfall up at the top of the campground, short hike. Spot had a bench, 2 picnic tables and a firepit. The creek was rushing right below the site. 2 bathrooms and trash cans. Only $7/night.
TravelerWell maintained campgrounds. It is 2.2 miles off the main highway up a steep winding grade. There are two loops with several sites in each and then there are more sites along the road above the two loops. There is one groups handicapped accessible site in the upper loop. The waterfall is a short .5 mile hike above the campground. Beautiful sunset vistas.
Traveler1 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
I can’t think of one negative comment, even the towns 9 o’clock curfew alarm was charming. The concrete sites are level and spacious with tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. The grounds are well cared with a small playground and dog run. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a paved walk just steps out of the campground where we took a walk and watched deer. We only stayed one night but wish that all our campgrounds could be like this one.
GuideIt’s what you expect from KOA, clean level sites. Restrooms and showers were clean and except for some train noises, very quiet. A nice walking path along the Big Horn River.
RangerWe don’t normally camp at fancy places like a koa but we were needing a spot on our way to Yellowstone. The hosts were super nice, everything was clean and there was a nice hot shower.
TravelerRefreshing stay in between Big Horn National Forest stays. Laundry, grocery a bike ride away and Lisa's (eat there) restaurant. Access to 2 mile bike/walking on the levee behind.
TravelerNice little campground, tucked just outside of town. Minutes from stores and restaurants. This KOA had a pool, play ground, laundry room, rec room plus many more. Really enjoyed our stay while passing through. Town does have an old siren that goes off at 9pm but it’s not very loud and doesn’t last very long.
ScoutWe 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. The laundry room was immaculate. We also got some fancy rocks for a very low price. After a long drive, this was amazing to arrive at a well organized ground, very level with picnic tables and trees and calming surroundings.
Legend
Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so excited to have Rod's property on our platform! So many ways to stay, from Tee-Pees to tents! We've heard the breakfast Rod & Mickey offer is one of the best (sausage from the farm, need we say. more?!) Bring your friends and family and experience this gorgeous property for yourself. There's nothing like it. Leave your experience here!
Ranger
Staff was very friendly. Sites are gravel. Cute little coffee house. Laundry room was clean & spacious. Friendly horses as you enter. Nice size dog area, but beware of the attacking black birds!!!! We had Wi-Fi when we first checked in. Within a few minutes rain came through & we lost power. The Wi-Fi at the sites never came back on. We lost power twice while we were there. The local power company needs to trim some trees or update the grid. Close to a highway but pretty quiet. Nice little guns & ammo shop on site. Other than the power & wifi issue this is a great campground!!
ScoutThere’s so much to do here! My littles (6&8) loved the playground, the fishing pond, it’s far enough from the road to be quiet and safe. It’s new so the trees are pretty young still. Gravel not pads.
TravelerClose to Cody, which was nice. We felt not being in one of the in-town packed KOA-style campgrounds would give us more nature and space—this did not exactly satisfy either. Views are pretty, but no access to the river, and the trout pond was low on water and covered in slime. They nickel and dime you for extra people (our kids), so price gets high. Just don’t see any value for what you pay over and above more standard rates. Good for the owners if people are willing to pay (and they are, as it was crowded) though we most likely will try somewhere else next time. Opposite side of town from the rodeo too.
TravelerStayed here 2 times. One time in the tipis In July and one time in an RV site in early May. The tipis are gorgeously appointed and so comfortable to sleep in. They are right on the Shoshone, definitely a great and five star experience. You can fish on the river if it’s not running too fast and there is a Trout pond you also can fish for free.
The RV sites are all pull-through and very nice grace ,but unfortunately can’t see the river from them. The showers and laundry are clean but laundry is limited. They have a coffee shack but not open. Lots of great birds of prey in the area. Close to Cody.
A hot tub and larger laundry would make this place perfect.
RangerVery 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. The cabins and tents looked really nice but were booked up for the night.
Traveler
This was a nice little overnight stay on our way to the Grand Tetons. The site we stayed in had a nice cement patio complete with sturdy chairs to relax on. The site was also very long allowing us to keep our Jeep hooked up for the night. I will say the sites are close together, but not unusually close for a KOA. The grounds were well maintained and was an overall nice atmosphere. Connectivity was good. T-Mobile was the winner on speed with about 6 Mbps, but Verizon and AT&T also had a strong signal.
GuideOkay park with nice staff. Not to far of a bike ride to Cody. There is a bus that goes to the rodeo every night, but we stayed in the hot tub and pool. Cool little lake just up the road too. Great place to chill for a couple of days.
GuideNeeded to be back on the grid for a few days and this is a great place to do it. Fast internet, nice spots, and pretty empty this time of year. Very worth it.
GuideThe staff is awesome and they have a nice pool. Other than that, it’s lots of dirt, gravel, and weeds.
