About
Crazy Creek Campground sits on a bluff above scenic Crazy Creek in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest, offering 16 campsites in a recently upgraded facility. Located along the Beartooth All-American Highway (US Highway 212), this campground provides access to excellent wildlife viewing, fishing, and day hiking opportunities in the surrounding national forest. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with bear boxes provided for required food storage. Vault toilets are available but the water system is currently inoperable, so campers must bring their own drinking water. The maximum spur length is 28 feet, accommodating smaller RVs and trailers. Sites are $15 per night when water is unavailable, or $20 per night if potable water service is restored. The campground has a 16-day stay limit and is not accessible to persons with mobility impairments. Access from Cody requires driving north on State Highway 120, then west on the scenic Chief Joseph Scenic Highway (State Highway 296) before reaching the Beartooth Highway junction.
Directions
From Cody, take State Highway 120 north for 16 miles. Turn left onto State Highway 296, the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. Proceed about 46 miles to the junction with U.S. Highway 212. Turn left onto Highway 212, which is the Beartooth All-American Highway, and continue about 3.5 miles to the Crazy Creek Campground.
