It's a very nice park with greenery and full hook-ups at all sites. The owners were very accommodating and had just turned on the water to the sites. It's right in town so close to all the attractions, restaurants, etc. but was quiet at night. Most sites are gravel but level. Only complaint was that the dumpsters were chock full... More

Good for RVs, Tents and they also have cabins. We stayed in our tents down in the lower section next to the river (down by the teepees) very nice area. The tent sites have a 110 volt outlet if you need it. Picnic tables are there. Nice little playground and general store/gift shop to keep everyone busy :)

My boyfriend and I stayed here in May of '12 and absolutely loved it. I have read other reviews where the staff was said to be rude but this was not the case during our stay, we stayed here a few nights and then came back and stayed another. We knew we were coming in late and with a quick... More

Saw Mount Rushmore, Devil's tower, Beartooth Highway, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson, Page, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, Moab, etc. We stayed for two nights at the Ponderosa and found it to be clean, well equipped...

Great campground, great location. Had a playground for the kids, which they loved... Wifi was a bit hit n miss, but other than that, nice management and great atmosphere... Stayed here in a motor home.

I did a lot of research before we spent two weeks in Cody,Wy. The Ponderosa was the best place for us! It was in a great location within walking distance to some of the attractions. A DQ was right next door. They don't take credit cards but do take cash or check. Rates were very good for this area. We... More

If you're looking for an overnight campground before heading into Yellowstone National Park, the Ponderosa is probably the best bet in Cody. The pluses were that it was very close to the entrance road we took into YNP; it had clean bathrooms and hot water; it was within walking distance of some good restaurants and the Sierra Trading Post Outlet;...

We stayed at the campground on 8/5/12. The campground was very busy with travelers. This is to be expected for this time of the year. Summer in Cody is very busy. Camp sites are very tight and crowded. Staff was friendly when we arrived. Bathrooms could use a little cleaning. Overall this campground was nice to stay at because it... More
