Eagle Creek Campground
Overview
Overview
Situated in the rugged landscape of Cody, Wyoming, Eagle Creek Campground places travelers right at the edge of the American West. This destination embraces the open skies, towering mountain ranges, and swift rivers characteristic of Park County. Visitors arriving with trailers, motorhomes, or truck campers find an authentic basecamp designed for exploring the dramatic wilderness surrounding the Shoshone River valley and beyond.
Location & Surroundings
Approaching this region via U.S. Route 14 brings travelers through striking canyon walls and high-desert terrain transitioning into alpine forests. The climate here features warm summer days followed by cool mountain evenings, typical of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Travelers navigate winding two-lane roads flanked by dramatic rock formations, sagebrush flats, and rushing waterways fed by snowmelt from the Absaroka Range.
Amenities & Park Features
Because property-specific amenities at Eagle Creek Campground are not universally documented, visitors should contact the management directly to verify utility configurations. When planning your stay, be sure to ask staff about specific site dimensions, hookup availability, and generator policies. Clarifying details regarding water access, waste disposal, and pull-through versus back-in pad limits ensures your rig matches the available terrain.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation dominates the surrounding region, starting with the iconic Yellowstone National Park entrance located a short drive west. Visitors frequently explore the Buffalo Bill Center of the West downtown, hike local trails along the Shoshone Canyon, or fish the blue-ribbon trout streams. Scenic drives along the Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway offer panoramic vistas of rugged peaks and abundant wildlife including bighorn sheep and elk.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers, wildlife photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking immersion in Wyoming mountain landscapes rather than luxury resort features. Self-contained RVers who enjoy backcountry access, dramatic scenery, and proximity to historic frontier towns will appreciate what this geographic setting provides along the eastern approach to the parklands.

The "Best" price so close to the park!! One of the best things about the east gate of Yellowstone are the campsites along Hwy 14/20 out of Cody. They are never very crowded in June and I have always found a place to stay. You can stay a day or two, close to the park while you wait for your reservations, then get up early and beat the crowd into the park. Eagle Creek and the other campsites above a certain mile marker is "Hard Side" camping only. This means no tents Camper shell or sleeping in your vehicles. There is good, tree cover, water, and clean restrooms. The campsites are well spaced and I never felt like i was to close to anyone. It rained all night but the run off was never an issue. Lots of animals, lots to love!!!

Hard-sided RVs only. No tents or tent-style folding RVs, but plenty of room and clean vault toilets.

Clean vault bathrooms & a water pump. You'll need some muscle to get your water, but it was a nice amenity to have. The campground was quite and is about 8 miles from the entrance to the Yellowstone park, so decent location. Make sure to get to the site early to get a spot! All sites are first come first served.

Nice quiet location next to the river. Other campers was very courteous and host was very nice.
