I've seen wolves chasing horses in their pasture during the day. A pack came across our ranch while I was out working. Skirted around us and left the area. Although I am retired now see lots of tracks around edge of field. Biggest dog tracks you've ever seen. I baled hay at night when a little moisture was on the hay. Getting out and adjusting the baler concerned me. Especially when my border collie stayed with me and just growled and you could see eyes shining off in the dark. They claim wolves won't attack. I still carried my .44 at night.
There are are U.S. forest campgrounds all around here. I doubt you would see them unless you are here on a every day basis. I would try looking at areas out hwy 120 north from Cody then over dead indian pass. That road over dead indian makes a tight curve before going over a bridge then to Crandal. If you go straight the road is gravel and ends fairly close to Yellowstone park boundaries. That is where you find locals camping. Probably hard sided RV would be recommended. Grizzlys out there also. Check out forestry maps. Sunlight basin is not actually listed as a camp ground. Just end of the road where people camp.
