Camping at Rex Hale near Cody

Public campground · Cody · 29 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The campground is a practical base for fly-fishing on the North Fork of the Shoshone River (rainbow and Yellowstone cutthroat are common), day hikes, scenic drives and wildlife watching; look for bighorn sheep on the red cliffs nearby and keep an eye out for elk, moose, bison, deer, foxes, coyotes, bald eagles and occasionally grizzly bears. Within a mile you can visit Mummy Cave, a long-occupied archaeological alcove listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a short drive west brings you to the firefighter memorial dedicated to Rex Hale and other victims of the 1937 Blackwater Fire, with additional memorials accessible via Forest Service Trail 758.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,285 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
