Primitive Sites On The Water and no one was camping over there. Perfect for campers/RVs. It was quiet and beautiful on the water. 10/10 recommend. No flushing toilets or showers for the primitive but the views 🤩🤩

If you’re headed to Yellowstone NP and discovered their campsites book up about 15 minutes after they post them or you need a more affordable option and don’t mind commuting to the park this will be a good option. It’s on the banks of the Shoshone River right where it runs into the Reservoir. Level sites, well maintained roads and facilities, lots of open space for kids to play.
Wyoming doesn’t have a lot of state parks so what they have they maintain exceptionally well. They also don’t have a lot of staff so be ready for self service. However, our first night the Law Enforcement Rangers rolled through a couple of times between ten and midnight so you’ll feel safe.
Cell service was poor and data streaming very slow so don’t plan on streaming unless you have a cell phone amplifier with a good external antenna.
Most of the spots have good skyview for your solar and ours had some mature shade trees that gave good shade to our picnic table. They were plenty big enough to support a hammock.

Great location. We left Yellowstone out the East Gate and stayed here three nights. We saw the Dam nearby (so worth it). We had electrical hookup and fetched water nearby. There’s a nice little stocked book exchange near the dump station. Deer walked through the park.

$30 a night for no hookups, electric or water. Coin operated showers. Vault toilets. No pavilions at sites and most have minimal shade or no shade at all. Paying that much for a bare bones park is a rip off in my book.

Signs said we’re supposed to have a reservation but being right at the beginning of May, the staff was very helpful and checked us in. Clean showers and toilets. Short hike down to the river for some relaxing. River side site with water and electricity was $40. Great place to regroup before dealing with crowds in the park.

Park was a little buggy. Thick with mosquitoes our first night. They didn’t seem to be a problem the rest of the time though. The 10-20 mph winds helped. There are all types of sites here. Electric with and without water. Non electric. Tent sites. Looked like most of them in the main area were all pull through. Shower house is paid but the flush toilet is free. The rest of the bathrooms are vault. Great location. 15 min to Cody 50 min to Yellowstone. Dump may or may not be available due to a hydrant leak or some EPA restriction but there is an easy access dump station just on the other side of Cody. Camp hosts were always available and more than happy to provide information. Cody Rodeo was pretty neat too.

Positives:
1) Sites are overall level. We had to use only one leveling block under 1 tire.
2) In the whole park the quiet hours have been kept strictly.
3) Grassy area and trees around every site.
4) Close to Cody, WY and Yellowstone National Park.
Negatives:
1) You have no access to the reservoir per say. You have to walk to a pretty steep edge, or you have to drive down the road to the beach areas.
2) Too expensive for a boondocking site! $30/night + $4/day non-resident fee + $2/day taxes= $36 for no amenities.
3) Vault toilets that look clean but the smell once you enter tells you otherwise.
4) Pets allowed, but not really pet-friendly.
As other mentioned we turned right at the Lake Shore campground and the gate attendant had to explain that we have to drive 5 more miles to the other campground. Weeds everywhere! The "grassy" area in the middle is weeds only, which triggered serious allergies. Definitely better places to stay that cost the same and are way better.

Stayed Memorial Day weekend. Beautiful campground right on North Fork of the Shoshoni River. My site had electric, but no water hook-ups (very limited in this park). There were water spigots to fill containers. No sewer available, but there is a dumpstation at campground entrance. One bathhouse available that offers coin-operated showers ($1 for 3 minutes). Facilities were very clean and well-maintained.
Sites are all pull-through and well spaced, but many are very narrow, just off the road. Each site has picnic table and fire ring.
Lots of green space with playground equipment. Had a moose in my site the first night.
Verizon service was sufficient (3 bars), but as I work from the road, the latency made usage very difficult at times.
