We were here 18 september 2022.
You can make a reservation. There are also sites FF.
Without E $15,- and with E $20,-.
Fresh water and clean toilets.
Camping near the river. Nice place to make a hike.
Each site has his own table and fire pit. Lots of trees, so shade. And sun if you like it.
This campground is open till 11 october. Most others will be closed then.

This was our first visit to Cody Wyoming and we didn’t know anywhere to stay. We arrived at wapiti and was pleasantly surprised. This campground has a combination of first come sights as well as reservable, which is welcoming to those of us that are unfamiliar with areas. There are 40 spots, twenty offer power and 20 do not. We selected a power spot.
The spots are large, spread out, private and offer a balance of sun and shade. There is ample water spigots throughout and one near the fee area that you can hook up to fill your tanks. The vault toilet are well maintained and stocked. The host is very helpful knows a lot, done a lot and is friendly to speak to. The Shoshone river is easy to walk to from camp and if you love to fish this is your place. The river is large and beautiful and fish galore! The north entrance to Yellowstone is 55 up the canyon and the north side of the park was splendid at sunrise and wildlife was active and plentiful. If you ever make it to Cody make sure to stay here I think you’ll be happy with this place.

Camp hosts were very friendly. Vault toilets were very clean. There’s no dump station at the campground but are available ~15 miles back towards Cody. Enjoyed watching big horn ewes & babies across the river on the rock cliffs.

We made this campground our basecamp for 2 days while we explored nearby Yellowstone Park. Sites were nicely spaced with lots of privacy from the neighbors due to the plant growth around the sites. We stopped midweek without a reservation and had no issues finding a nice site. The Shoshone river flows on the backside of some of the sites, but most of those sites had been reserved. We could still hear the river at night though which helped soothe us to sleep.
The campground was very clean, including the vault toilets and each site had a bear box that made storing food safer. The campground is right off the busy highway, a bit of a downside during the day, but the traffic was so minimal at night it did not disturb us in the slightest.
We had a 16 foot trailer, and utilized a non electric site. Sadly, no cell service though.

Very nice rustic campground, a lot of trees. Sites are level and far enough apart for privacy and they have fire rings. East side sites have electric.
