Buffalo Jump RV Site

1 site · RV3 acres · Cody, WY

We are located just 50 miles from Yellowstone park! Please note, our property is not suitable for long-term rentals. In 2004 we purchased the acreage and soon discovered that it is located 1/2 mile from the Horner Buffalo Jump Archeological site. Thus our property, due to its steep terrain immediately took the name “Buffalo Jump”. With its many native trees and bushes the property became an ideal location for an artists studio, and since it had the RV site already in place, we soon had many friends and guests stopping by during the summer months. In 2020 we joined with hipcamp to make the RV site available to select campers. Far back in time the area was utilized by the first campers; Native Americans, who were here living off the land. Artifacts attest to the fact that the property and surrounding regions has been inhabited for the past ten thousand years. Quiet hours …all hours.

Camping near Cody guide

Overview

Founded by Colonel William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, the city of Cody’s western roots and wide open spaces make it perfect for camping. It’s one of the closest cities to the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park, promising incredible geysers, herds of bison, and camping in all forms, from tent campsites to RV sites to rustic cabin rentals and yurts. From there, head south to Shoshone National Forest, the first national forest in the country. It has over 1,300 miles of hiking and biking trails that wind through backcountry, mountain ranges, Shoshone River, and alpine lakes. Nearby lodging includes tent camping and RV parks equipped with potable water, toilets, and full hookups. Bighorn National Forest is only a short drive away and surrounded by the Bighorn Mountains. Grasslands, alpine meadows, and rolling hills within the park are great for horseback riding, fishing, and winter sports. Cabins here provide cozy accommodations with hot tub access, while tent campsites ensure year-round comfort with bathroom facilities, firepits, and dump stations.
