It is a peaceful, quiet 23 acres but located only minutes from downtown Red Lodge. This can be your base camp to explore beartooth pass and Yellowstone National Park....but back at camp you have mountain views and bubbling creeks right by your campsite. We do have cell phone service, as well, which can be tricky to find while dispersed camping in the area. Hiking, biking, fishing are all quick access.

We had a very lovely stay at Margaret's property, the area is gorgeous and we loved being close to the horses! Our Great Dane loved it too! We didn’t get a chance to meet the host but we did meet Suzanne who also lives on site and she is wonderful! She’s a guide in Yellowstone and works in town. We definitely hope to stay here again next time we pass through Cody and hopefully for more than one night!

Eric was such a friendly host. There is no designated camping spot on the property so you can pitch your tent wherever works best for you. Eric supplied us with wood and gasoline to have a fire for the evening.

Sandy and Jerry were excellent hosts and their property is beautiful! The setting along the river is very peaceful. Water on one side and mountains all around. They were very accommodating and had plenty of local suggestions. We were greeted upon our arrival and offered a hand with anything we needed. Very flexible with where we could park in the yard. Even offered use of their bathroom if we needed to. This was our first time using hipcamp and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Sandy and Jerry for all of your wonderful hospitality!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tucker Ranch. It was a beautiful spot…big open field with wildflowers everywhere. It had a good view of the mountains, streams running through it and was close to town. The hosts were very nice and responded quickly to all of my questions. We would definitely recommend it.

1 night at Sweetiebird Farms In Cody WY

Margaret, a.k.a. Jersey, provided a very welcoming environment as did two of her three dogs. The third was in training, so no foul there. However, there were other fowls - chickens and turkeys. Also, Alice, a llama or alpaca, I couldn’t tell from her sweater as she was recently shorn. Also horses and a cow.. All were well behaved and didn’t moo, whinny, cheep, cluck, gobble, or do whatever llama-alpacas do too early so I was able to get a good night sleep and see a lot of stars through my moon roof.

Such a great spot. Made us feel alone and secluded in the outdoors while being close enough to Red lodge to enjoy all that it has to offer. We loved the place and will definitely be back.
