Buffalo Bill State Park - Lake Shore Campground

Mara Vernon

Loved this gorgeous campground with stunning views and easy 30 mile access to the SE entrance of Yellowstone.

This is a beautiful spot with great views. It is on the expensive side for a state park as you have to pay the daily access fee as well as the overnight camping fee. We stayed in one of the tenting spots. The spots are physically separated from the parking area so you have to carry your gear down a path to get to the site. Also, be aware that you're right next to US 16 so there is traffic all night. Not a big deal as long as you are prepared.

We were between the Cody KOA and this campground and we ended up choosing this one for the view and the fact that we assumed there would be less red tape.. but in fact, this campground is very strict. NO CELL SIGNAL, NO ELECTRIC HOOKUPS, NO WATER HOOKUPS, & THEY CHARGE $30 A NIGHT STILL. We stayed here and visited Yellowstone during the day so we weren't in camp during the day and when we got back at night we wanted to have a fire and cook some food, and the kids wanted to watch movies but they have a no generators and no noise or fires after 10pm rule.. so prepare to go without food or electricity at night. Also the sand flies/no see ums were absolutely INSANE. and there was no way to keep them out of our camper. Stayed here in a 27ft travel trailer... would not stay again. This is why we usually boondock. giving 2 stars just for the view.

We pay taxes to operate and maintain this beautiful resource. We are charged a fee just to use the bathrooms. Years ago before they established parking, camp sites, and bathrooms there were mature trees which were natural shade and wind breakers. Everyone could come and go as they please. It was enjoyable. Now it's overpriced and too many regulations. There are many more FEE FREE accessible areas recently. Still not satisfied with the way the park is managed

Absolutely beautiful. We stayed one night on our way out of Yellowstone. We were so disappointed that we were not staying longer. This park may be our next vacation destination. The lake and landscape are beautiful. Great location close to Cody.
