Buffalo Bill State Park - Lake Shore Campground

Mr Filo

This is our 2nd year we stayed at Buffalo Bill state park site 7. We warned site 7 is on a hill so being level may be issue for some. We parked backwards so our door faced away from the road. Our campsite has a nice view of the lake and the mountains. We love it here. There is no flush toilets on the campsites closest to the dam. It's all pit toilets. The other campground has one shower house with bathrooms in the showers.

Check in until 8pm, we were late and they kindly left our car tag at the gate. The #7 campsite is fine for the night, very sloped, the campsite, fire ring, picnic table, are on the driver's side so if we were planning on staying here I would be disappointed, but there are many beautiful campsites with incredible views looking over the gorgeous reservoir. I'm quite nervous about grizzly bears and rattlesnakes... Bathroom was horrible.

Was at site 7 which should be for overnite . You are at the tail end of a loop. Your door is facing traffic. You have to go around your caper to get to picnic area which faces a bathroom .absolutely sucks. You step out of your camper and a few shorts step into road. I hate for our first trip to Wyoming. Senior citizens who come for the view. Made that known 3 months before coming. Space 7 aweful

This really a horrible campground: there's zero shade, the sites are on gravel or asphalt and - worst of all - all the sites are located only a few yards from the highway. The host was nice, but you're not going to sleep at all here unless you have earplugs. The North Fork Campground at the other end of the lake is much further away from the road (although you could still probably hear traffic) and at least has some grass on the sites... $30+ for a patch of gravel next to the highway is atrocious.

So many great things to say about this campground! We extended our stay another week to enjoy in this one-of-a-kind place. We will look forward to returning. 18-minute drive to downtown Cody and anything you could want, but wow - you feel like you are in another world out here. The drive to Cody is beautiful in every direction, going through tunnels and alongside the rocks. ∙ Large, pull-through spaces (our 28ft vintage Airstream was smaller, lots of big rigs pulled in with ease) ∙ Very well spaced out and quiet campground. You don't need to know your neighbors here if you don't want to. ∙ Non-flushing, very clean, top-tier camp toilets ∙ Free dumping station that was clean and easy (included hose) ∙ Campground is situated above lake, so you can do a scramble down to the shore line or drive to the more accessible day-use beach ∙ AT&T had great cell service and Starlink was clear thanks to the uninterrupted sky ∙ Park ranger was on-site most of the day and did multiple checks per day of the campground ∙ We were here in late July and it got a little warm from 11am-2pm on sunny days, but thanks to the Wyoming winds and quick changing weather it was never too bad ∙ Situated close to the road but honestly we never heard it too much (shockingly) and is generally pretty quiet We stayed at Site #32 (non-electric) which was just stunning. Beautiful views in all directions that changed every hour with the sun and weather. We had no problems with solar thanks to summer sunny days, so you would be okay without electric if you're not juicing too much. Spots like #3, 5, 7, 24, 26, 28 did not have great lake views. Your camper/car blocks the view and your picnic table/fire pit is on the interior. Beautiful views of the mountains and rocks to the north, but not your spot if you want clear views. Site #10 had the most majestic west-facing view with full 270° of lakefront but was pretty downhill. Would recommend if you want picturesque views but ready to some leveling.
