TravelerThis was by far our favorite RV park on our recent trip out west. We had a spot on the outer circle and the lots were huge and they backed up to a field or the river which was a great view. The facilities were clean and managed well. We didn’t try the restaurant so we can talk to that but it looked nice. The only drawback to this RV park how far from Yellowstone it is. It’s 35+ minutes from the East entrance which is already an hour away from most of Yellowstone’s major places to visit but we enjoyed it immensely.
GuideThe brochure said '10 tent sites', but when we got there, they do not allow tent camping. The ladies in the office were very, very helpful in trying to look up other campgrounds in the area for us.
GuideWow very nice campground very clean showers, bathrooms warm friendly staff Jassica you're awesome!
Ok 25 miles from the east gate as you leave the campground to the Yellowstone gate you'll see rv camp sites everywhere along the way with several available
We're on a 3 month trip from Florida no reservations anywhere and have not had a problem finding sites !!
We where told by several people along the way we would run into problems finding sites THIS IS NOT THE TRUE if you come to Yellowstone leave the fear of reservations behind and enjoy

GuideFull service campground, clean and all amenities are well kept. Lower rating due to the price, we visited in July and paid with Good Sam discount $95/night!
GuideVery nice Rv park with indoor hot tub , outdoor pool. Also nice showers . Think there were 6 individual showers with toilet and sink. So you can have complete privacy. With taking a hot shower in a small room ventilation could have been better. Overall good location
RangerCloser to the East Yellowstone gate and Shoshone National Park. It was a well kept resort, but it was high priced. They did save me when I needed a spot last minute.
Guide
Primitive beauty right on the Shoshone river. Bear boxes, fire pits, river, mountains, tents only.
ScoutThe camp ground was perfect. It wasn’t super secluded but it wasn’t very full. Our site was on the river bank, the mountains surrounding us. The location was perfect, right in between Cody and Yellowstone. The nights were a bit chilly but the scenery was stunning. 10/10, would recommend.
Ranger
This is a fabulous, clean Forest service campground, with great hosts. It has 30 campsites that are large and feel quite private. It is hard-sided units only (no tents), due to grizzly bears that frequent the area. This is a bummer but a safety issue. The campground is right on the Shoshone river and wildlife sightings are common. It's about 20 miles from the east entrance to Yellowstone.
RangerThis was one of our favorite spots around Yellowstone. The sites seemed pretty spread out and it is along the beautiful Shoshone River. There was a recent sighting of a grizzly bear and they had about 5 sites closed off due to that. The campground host is super friendly as well and loves his campground. Hard sided units only.
GuideThis was a great campsite on the banks of Newton creek. Very clean, host was super friendly as were camping neighbors. Stayed two nights and really loved it. Great vibe. Hardsides only because of bear activity

Hard sided camping only, grizzly bear activity, no tents or pop up campers allowed. Might want to buy or rent some bear spray. You will have a fire ring, pit toilets, picnic table, bear box, water(hand pump) This is a beautiful campground that is situated along side the Shoshone River. Not only a feast for the eyes but for the ears. Beautiful sound. The backdrop of the rocky mountains and the Shoshone River and toss in a rail fence and you sitting in a whole bunch of peace in the mountains. It is very dusty so drive slow for the kids and to keep the dust down.

Close enough to Yellowstone and Meeteese
Will update after staying there
GuideNothing fancy - no pool or bbq pits, but it worked for us as we were just passing through. It’s about an hour from the east entrance to Yellowstone which is convenient. We attended the Cody Nite Rodeo - not our usual crowd - but enjoyed it. Bathrooms are fine but not ada accessible.
GuideNice 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.
ScoutPark is well maintained and the park WIFI works good, I was parked across the street from the office.
LegendFor me, this wasn't the ideal place. The perimeter is all full time mobile homes. The interior loop is daily sites.
If you like really nice people, close to town and just a spot to use as a home base for exploring, this place is perfect.
The campground is located behind a gas station for your convenience.

So glad to find this great little campsite on our way to Yellowstone! We like to camp away from crowds & we were the only campers at this sweet little 10 site campground. It is free national forest camping with a vault toilet. There is a campground host. It us near a stream & of course, beautiful views at the campsite and on the way there.
TravelerSmall campground. Small rigs only. Lots of mosquitoes. No water or power. River runs in middle. Has park host. Bathrooms clean.
LegendA local couple told me that we should check out this campground. They said to take your time and enjoy the Chief Joseph scenic highway drive with all of its overlooks. The scenery driving up out of Cody is unique and inspiring. We stopped halfway down the highway at Dead Indian Campground and enjoy the scenery from camp.
The campground is split on two sides of the creek. The host is on the Cody side along with 5 sites. The garbage bin is also over there. We chose to stay in site 10 which is one of the other 5 across the creek. You take the main highway over the creek and then into this area. This site is large and has a short trail that leads right to the creek. We enjoyed the short walk on the campground road the continues past our site. We found a clear view of the powerful creek and a beautiful skyline. One site is a secluded walk-in for tenters. There are clean vault toilets on each side. Bring in your own water or purify some from the creek. The vegetation is a bit tall in the sites on this side. Site 10 was great but the others looked less inviting.
There is a hiking trail just down the road in each direction. One leads into the canyon and the other into the meadows. The trail into the canyon is the route that Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce used to avoid a trap by the military. Just as we were about to hike the thunderstorm rolled in. Thus we can only say that the start of the trail was good especially with the history adding value.
This year it’s cool but the host said it’s normally hot. She said all the green grass is usually yellow.
This is a nice stop along a beautiful scenic drive. This is grizzly territory so take appropriate precautions.
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.
RangerSites are extremely close. There are no trees. Hook ups for RVs are adequate. 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. There’s a playground, large outdoor chess and scrabble.
The store is small but packed with a lot of souvenirs mostly. I didn’t use the restroom on my stay. The game room looked a bit worse for the wear. Free pancakes in the morning, but the kids weren’t interested. I’m gluten free so no pancakes for me.
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.
