This is cash only place. Kind of odd I suppose. We called in the morning to inquire about their availability. Unfortunately nobody informed us that they don't take credit cards.
The campground is located right in Cody. About an hour drive to the east entrance of Yellowstone.
Site was level backing to the street, which in June is busy and noisy. The sides ans back of the site were reinforced with a retaining wall. This makes the spot smaller and can be an issue running sewer hoses especially if you have slideouts on the driver side.

We got a spot that had a concrete pad. Used the shower facilities, shower is small and no place to put anything. There is hook on the wall just outside the shower. Didn’t use the laundry. Picnic table at every space and grass. Lots to do around the Cody area. Would stay here again

We called and were quoted a price of 31 for a tent price. In the morning, he changed the price to 50.00. We were car camping, so we didn’t even use a tent space. He argued with me when I tried to stand up for myself. Other than that, it is right in Cody, and the bathrooms are clean.

Extremely friendly, mature trees. Was given the opportunity to check out available sites and pick the one we wanted. Stayed two nights. For the location close to the highway, very quiet.

Poor connectivity with sporadic LTE. Went to Museum for better connection.

We needed a campground near Yellowstone and after calling for hours at campgrounds around each entrance, we found this. It was further than we wanted to stay, but we didn’t know what a gem Cody, Wy was. The campground is on US 14/16 walking distance to the Buffalo Bill Museum. The campground will allow you to book a number of tours right from their front desk. We got picked up at the campground for the trolley tour.
The campground has some concrete sites, some pull throughs, mostly back ins. Make sure they know the length of your RV as not all sites are suited for a big rig like us.
Power is reliable, they have cable, wifi can be spotty. Sites have about 10’ between. Not a lot, but enough. They have a fenced dog park and designated dog walk areas. The campground has cabins and Teepees for those who don’t have a tent or RV.
Payment is cash only. We must have been very fortunate to get our reservation one month in advance. I heard that sites book up 9-12 months in advance. Also plan to arrive by 3 or call them so they don’t give your site away. They are quick to do that. Park was fully booked most every night.

We booked our stay here based on previous Campendium reviews, we were not disappointed. The office staff is helpful and friendly, and the showers/restrooms were tidy but small for this size of a park. That said, one set of showers was already closed for the season(we arrived on 10/6/20).
The east gate of Yellowstone National Park is roughly an hours drive on US14/20, and winds along the beautiful Shoshone River Canyon. We hit the falls colors which were absolutely gorgeous! Lots of interesting rock formations in the mountains.
Cody itself is a small, friendly town with plenty of "cowboy" atmosphere. Be sure to visit Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel, as well Buffalo Bill Museum of the West. Also, good dining and shopping options!

Checking in was not difficult, but lengthy. Cash Only and they have an ATM in the gift shop/lobby. We had a 32 ft RV and 1-ton p/u and it was a very tight back in for the bumper pull. The ladies who registered us were very nice and offered up any local recommendations we may have wanted. Very basic park, small playground, 24/7 laundry, and decently level sites. Had to come up 1 1/4 inches on the door side to level. Next door to Dairy Queen for food and treats. Right down the road from Buffalo Center of the West... a must-see! It was an amazing museum and would definitely do it again. We came towards the end of the season and were surprised by the rates, but if nothing else was available, would definitely stay again.
