Campground recommendations for Cheyenne and Cody, WY

About 40 years ago, I camped at Curt Gowdy State Park outside Cheyenne. It was a beautiful place. Not sure if it accepts RVs or not. We were tent camping at the time.

We've never stayed there, but check out Terry Bison Ranch Resort south of Cheyenne. It looked ok from the road.

For Cody, we like the Ponderosa Campground. Last time we were there (2010), they didn't take credit cards, just checks and cash. Within walking distance of the Buffalo Bill Museum.

I've stayed twice at Absaroka Bay RV Park on US 16 on the way SE out of Cody. FHUs, nice laundry facilities, large sites, well spaced, and at $29/night, a real bargain. Nice folks running the place. They're lifetime residents and they don't know why Absaroka is pronounced "Absorka", either.
I second the suggestion to spend more than one day. The Buffalo Bill Cody Museum is 5 museums in one building. At least a couple of days there. And there's a night rodeo in town every night in the summer.

All the campgounds are packed during Frontier Days. We normally stay at the AF Base, but have stayed at the state park west of town about 15 miles, nice but no hook-ups. You'll need a reservation someplace.

Stayed at the KOA in Cody several years ago. The park was a short drive to the Museum was a short drive. If I remember right they had a pancake breakfast every morning. Sites were large enough for our 40ft. and 4 slides and had a small pool.

Hello Everyone-

My husband and I are planning to be in Cheyenne, WY during the last few days of Frontier Days in the end of July and would love some recommendations for where to stay. We would like to stay somewhere that offers electric, water and sewer.

We will also be spending a few days in Cody, WY so if you have recommendations there that would be great also.

Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I think campgrounds in Cheyenne may have have restrictions for Frontier Days regarding # of days. From what I've read on rvparkreviews I'd stay away from the Terry Bison Ranch. We stayed a couple of nights at AB Campground, they have a BBQ place within the campground. Wasn't the best place I've ever stayed but it was adequate and the owners there were VERY nice. If you go, be sure to hit the free Kiwanis Pancake breakfast downtown. My brother lives there and works it every year.

Here is one you might think about, especially if you like riding a steam train. Stay close to Denver, CO. Take the UP #844 from Denver to Cheyenne, Wy. spend the whole day at the rodeo, then take the ride back to Denver. All info can be googled. Just a thought.

So, Walmart now has hookups? Th,at is what the OP said that they would want. To the OP, check out RV Park Reviews. There are many reviews on both Cody and Cheyenne campgrounds. There are also a few campgrounds around Ft Collins CO which isn't too far from Cheyenne.
