Eagle Creek Campground
Eagle Creek Campground, near Cody, Wyoming, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature while being close to Yellowstone National Park. This campground offers a peaceful atmosphere with well-spaced sites that provide a sense of privacy, even though they’re relatively close together.
The campground is right alongside the Shoshone River, making it a great place for wildlife watching and enjoying the soothing sounds of flowing water. Visitors have noted the beautiful mountain views and the abundance of trees, which add to the serene environment. As one camper mentioned, “Wonderful! Trees, river, wildlife.”
Eagle Creek is a hard-sided camper only area due to bear activity, so make sure to bring your RV or trailer. Facilities include clean vault toilets and bear boxes for food storage, ensuring you can camp safely. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and it’s a good idea to arrive early, especially during peak season when it can fill up quickly.
For those looking to explore, there are hiking trails nearby, and the campground is just a short drive from the eastern entrance of Yellowstone. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, Eagle Creek Campground offers a great blend of comfort and adventure in the heart of Wyoming’s stunning wilderness.
