About

Eagle Creek Campground is situated along the scenic Shoshone River in Shoshone National Forest, about 45 miles west of Cody and 8 miles from Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance. The campground hosts 20 campsites, each equipped with RV parking, bear-proof food storage boxes, fire rings/grills, and picnic tables. Due to active grizzly bear presence in the area, the campground enforces a hard-sided camping unit requirement only; tents and pop-up campers are strictly prohibited, and proper food storage is mandatory. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and drinking water available from a hand pump. Maximum spur length is 40 feet, accommodating RVs and trailers. The facility is accessible to persons with mobility impairments and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 16-day stay limit. Sites cost $25 per night, payable by cash or check, with a 50% discount available for Interagency Senior/Access Pass holders. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to wilderness recreation. Two trailheads with public horse corrals are located 1.5 miles east of the campground, providing access to the Washakie Wilderness for backpacking and horseback riding. The campground area offers excellent opportunities for fishing in the Shoshone River, wildlife viewing, and scenic photography. Note that a footbridge crossing the river at the campground is closed due to flood damage. Cell service is not available at this remote location.
