Campground details
Setting
Big Game Campground sits along the North Fork Shoshone River at 6,000 feet elevation, set among cottonwood and juniper trees along the Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway. The site features single-family campsites equipped with picnic tables and campfire rings, alongside vault toilets and trash collection. No drinking water is available on site. Anglers fish the river for rainbow and Yellowstone cutthroat trout, and the Wapiti Wayside lies less than a half-mile away. Yellowstone National Park's east entrance sits 23 miles west, and historic Cody is 29 miles east.
Getting there: From Cody, Wyo., follow Sheridan Avenue west through Cody until the road leaves town, and becomes Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway (U.S. Highway 14/16/20). The campground is 29 miles west of Cody, on the north side of the highway and next to the river. It is between Wapiti Campground and Horse Creek Picnic Area.
