Best Equestrian Camping near Wapiti, WY

Double Cabin Campground is a beautiful area, right next to the Wiggins Fork of the Wind River. Great fishing for brookies and cutthroat trout. There are corrals for horses nearby. There are plenty of places to camp off of the campground too. The only real issue is the camp host is aggressive with his duties. He visits often and even tells campers out of the campground nearby how to camp, maintain fires, and bear safety. Can be overbearing when trying to get away from it all. Other than than, this is a great area to spend time in. The pictures are from some of the just off campground area.

Getting to this place with our 30' TT was a challenge. Most of the road there is a one lane, winding road with dropoffs at times. There are lots of horse trailers that use this road so be prepared. That being said, the payoff is amazing. We camped at a dispersed site just past the actual campground which was completely vacant during our stay.

There are many hunters that also use this area. We spoke with a couple of them & they told us that grizzlies, moose, black bears, elk at times, & mule deer are very present in the valley although we only saw deer. The river is very near the lower campsites. The stars go on forever & we were lucky enough to stay here for 3 clear nights & a full moon. It is a top notch spot. Highly recommend.

We got our water from a mountain stream 20 minutes away, it was cleaner than tap water. Both of us drank it & lived. Firewood is very plentiful along the road, just watch for marked areas where it can't be gathered.

 Eagle Creek is a USFS campground just about 5 miles outside of the eastern entrance of Yellowstone. It’s a first come first served campground, and we were easily able to get a spot on a Friday afternoon. It’s $15/night, self pay. 

It’s quiet and peaceful, and though the sites are close together, they are configured in a way that you feel like you have some privacy, at least we felt that in #9.

#9 also has a little walkway to the river with your own tiny private beach. There is road noise, but it’s not bothersome, maybe because of the dense trees and the sound of the river. The campground is split into two separate loops, with #1-10 to the right as you enter, and #11-21 to the left. On the left side loop there is also a paved walkway along the riverbed that might be suitable for wheelchairs. 

Host on site, unisex handicap accessible vault toilets, and dumpsters. Hand pumped water. Each site has a bear box, fire pit, and picnic table. 

No tent camping allowed here due to bear activity. Hard sided campers only. Keep your food and anything that smells like food inside!!

 16 day stay limit. There’s a day use area, appears to be free. There is hiking across the highway, appears to be frequently used for horses. No cell service.

A small, clean campground. Just a few minutes up the hill from Gardiner. 15+ campspots. Vault toilets, fire rings, picnic tables. Many spots on grass for comfy tent camping and some with big spots that will fit RVs. Upper part of the campground was very open. It was full of campers with their horse trailers as there are several trails around the campground. Eagle Creek runs along one side of the campground providing the only trees in the campground. 2 campspots tucked in the trees, the rest in the open. $7 per night as of May 2018.

We stopped there after a week of Yellowstone action arriving the Friday morning of the Memorial Day weekend with plans to resupply our little trailer, do some laundry, and get a proper shower just down the hill in Gardiner. A few spots were open. By early afternoon the camp was full. We spent Friday afternoon relaxing, reading, and watching the ridgeline above the campground for the occasional Bison that would pop up. Friday evening was a bit chaotic with the steady stream of vehicles pulling through the grounds looking for a place to camp. We spent part of Saturday resupplying at the grocery store and doing laundry in town. The laundrymat had 3 pay showers. $5 for 10min. While that may seem like a lot of money. When you have a weeks worth of camp stink on you, it’s totally worth it.

While the campground itself is not much to write home about, it’s proximity to Gardiner and the North entrance to Yellowstone made it a great place to stop for a resupply. If we find ourselves back in Gardiner, I would stay there again.

Clean with plenty of space between sites. Great free breakfast. Store hours very accommodating and staff very friendly.

I stopped here for one night and changed my reservation upon seeing the park. It’s a gravel lot. Campers were on top of each other. Forget social distancing. Bring earplugs because parties are happening late. I chose to go somewhere else after that.

Very nice and very clean campgrounds. We stayed in a tent and had a great time. Although we weren’t traveling with kids, this campground had lots of activities for anyone who is traveling with them

The campground serves pancakes in the morning for free. You buy extras like sausage juice etc. reasonable price. Roadeo in town every night and campground shuttles to it and back.

Okay 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.

It's everything you expect from a KOA. Nothing missed. Had a windstorm during the stay, tent campers were put up in the game room.

We liked this campground. Friendly staff. Smooth check in. Bathrooms were clean!! Sites not to private. Plenty for kids to do. Free pancakes every morning(juice,sausage, etc extra). Overall, enjoyed our stay.

Sites 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.

The staff is awesome and they have a nice pool. Other than that, it’s lots of dirt, gravel, and weeds.

Needed 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.

Stayed 7-31-24

Everything you expect from a standard KOA + Free pancakes.

sites are set up with alternating hookups so you are not picnicking over your neighbors dump hose. most sites have a paved patio as well.

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!

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.

We 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.

Stayed in teepee for 2 nights. Has fan and heater. must bring own sheets blankets and pillows. Overall good night sleep. Park is all gravel, thus neighbor driving at 4am around makes a bit of noise. Airport is next door too. Had an enjoyable stay

It was very dark when we were driving up the mountain to find this. We had to really look for the signs in the dark, but it was worth it. Just keep following the dirt road and it should be on the left. $7 sites (2017). It only has vault toilets but they were seriously the cleanest vault toilets that I have ever seen!! lol The view is wonderful with a small creek next to the sites. The host was so helpful in getting us settled so late at night. Buffalo are known to roam through the campground too.

This campground was AMAZING. Just a few miles from the Yellowstone North Entrance, this is a cheap campground with a decent amount of campsites. They are nicely spaced, and all of them have food storage for bears. Each site also has a perfect fire ring and picnic table

The campground is 5 miles from the crowded, noisy impacted mammoth campground. Ok, so it has no water except for the stream. Still, this campground is pleasantly nestled among aspens. Some sites have privacy issues but that's made up for by the quiet and views. We were there end of may and the sites were grassy and nice. By deep summer this could be different. Yes, there was a buffalo who occupied 2 sites
