Cody has the Buffalo Bill Historic Center, Old Trail Town and the Nightly Rodeo. From Cody you can drive your tow vehicle in a loop including the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway, the Beartooth Scenic Byway and Red Lodge.
...We are considering going North to Casper on I-25, then NorthWest to Cody via Hwy 20/26 to 120 into Cody...
In my opinion, Cody is too far from most of the attractions in Yellowstone to use as a basecamp for visiting the park. West Yellowstone, Gardiner or Fishing Bridge in the park have hookups and each is closer to at least some of the popular attractions than Cody would be. When we visit Yellowstone we stay a week each in two or more locations.
The Tetons are definitely worth seeing so if you choose to go through Cody, I would exit the park to the South.
