Campground recommendations for Cheyenne and Cody, WY

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.

Leslie

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
