Great campground, big trees offered some shade, spots were spread out enough to provide some privacy. Could use coat hooks in the outhouses, which could stand to have been cleaned a little more often.

We just finished a 3 week road trip, stopping at Wapiti campground for 5 days. Our site was very private with views and a trail to the river. The campground host, Candy, was the best host we had for the entirety of the trip. The campground was quiet. The bathrooms were cleaner than other campground we stayed at.

The man who worked for forest service and checked on campgrounds was great. Had a problem with our young dog and he was there to help. Saw him daily , friendly, and easy to talk to. I wish we got his name. Letting you know he is doing a great job. Thanks to him we had a great stay.

3rd Time I've stayed here, well maintained, quiet, can watch the goats running around in the mountains to the north, great fishing access, close to Cody and the Park. $20 a night with electric! You can't beat it.

We camped here to be close to the east entrance to yellowstone np. The campsite was well cared for and beautiful! The camp host was kind, helpful and attentive. It was easy to access Cody, WY and to access the east entrance to Yellowstone. I would definitely camp here again!

2nd time at Wapiti. We love the area, very scenic. Plenty of space between sites, very quiet and peaceful. Didnt use the bathroom. Electric worked fine. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Great location , River , Lots of room at campsite .
@KarlOCB1F8F127 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #5
Excellent sites, picnic tables, fire rings, electrical hookups. No water at site, they are water hydrant in the loops. No dump station or showers. Do have restrooms. Very nice hiking trail at back of park. River runs through the back of the park, trout fishing is available in the area but you must bring your own equipment and have valid license. No cell service because you have mountains on all 4 sides of you.

Very well maintained campground. Vault toilet the cleanest I've ever seen. Each site is nicely screened from the view of neighbors. Would definitely visit again.

Nice spot, and campground host was very nice.

Good value when you consider location and partial hookups. Easy in and out for our Roadtrek 170 Popular. Saw plenty of big rigs there as well. It’s right next to the Shoshone River. We had reserved our campground ahead of time but I’m not sure we needed to.

The grounds and pit toilet area were clean. The walking bridge and trails were enjoyable.

Peaceful and quiet. It was great to get to stop over here on our way to Yellowstone.
@GrahamL6910E65 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #11
The one pit toilet in the electric section was unusable. I complained to Rangers, but nothing was done while we were there. Also, a ranger woke us up on first morning stating we needed to pay. We had already paid, and had proof. He was quite belligerent. Would not stay there again. 7th

Loved it here! Bathrooms close. Very clean! We sat and watched the mountain goats on the mountains across the river for hours. Hike right out of the campground was beautiful too.

I was harassed about using a chainsaw for down and dead firewood (perfectly legal, and it was all straightened out after I had to show them the regulations... ), but then clear and obvious violations by other campers (such as dogs off leash terrorizing around) went completely ignored. I loved our camp site, and overall everything was just fine... just didn't like being scrutinized for following regulations while others were being ignored for breaking them. If the forest service keeps it up though, eventually scratching your butt will be against some regulation or another. It's getting ridiculous.

Great campground. Very nicely kept. The park host was extremely helpful and kind. Btw there is a freshwater fill just beyond the sign in area. My only complaint is I wish you would provide firewood for sale at this campground.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
