Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next klm • View posts SIOUX FALLS, SD Senior Member Joined: 05/26/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/25/12 06:05pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We are planning our summer travel. After stops in SD, we will continue to WY. We want to spend time in Cody. Is there enough to do/see to warrant a week stay? We will have a toad, for day trips, along with any sights in Cody. Appreciate any campground suggestions - 40' class a, prefer fhups. I know there is the Buffalo Bill museum, the rodeo - what else is a "do not miss"? day trips - where and what??? We will be there in late July. thanks for your help Kathy '02 KOUNTRY STAR DP 2012 HONDA FIT "PUMPKINMOBILE" GILLIGAN- 1ST MATE CAT - 3 HR TOUR PapPappy • View posts Wilmington, NC Senior Member Joined: 12/23/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/25/12 06:07pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator You could just sit around and relax a bit....maybe play horseshoes?

I should have mentioned that my sister/bil will be joining us - fly in from east - for their 1 week vacation. Some down time ok, but we will want to take in as much of the area as possible - agesilaus • View posts North Florida Senior Member Joined: 05/06/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/25/12 06:16pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We've been to Cody for restocking trips to the stores there when staying at Yellowstone. Other than what you mentioned I did not see much there. Do they have a website? There is a Dam to the west with a museum but it's only worth a rest stop. Of course Yellowstone isn't that far away, the east side anyway.

There is a short review of the campground as well as what we did for the five days we were there. One of our favorite stops of the summer.

The museum is nice in Cody but two days tops in my opinion. I would recommend the Ponderosa Campground in Cody we enjoyed it 2012 Winnebago Journey 36 M Cummins 360 ArcticDodge • View posts Sammamish, WA Senior Member Joined: 05/02/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/25/12 06:51pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Ponderosa RV Park was nice and within walking distance to the museum. It would be easy to spend a week there depending on what activities you are into. Rodeo, nightly shoot out, golf, river rafting, horseback riding, museums, the dam, fishing, shopping, laundry, kicking back, etc. For me, 3 to 4 nights would be enough. 2009 Komfort 256TS 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 QC 4x4 Cummins DRW 2005 Dodge Durango Limited AWD HEMI 2001 Sebring Convertible 1995 Miata M-Edition 2005 DRZ400 1 Wife 2 teenage Boys 1 Trixie (Bichon Frise) Only 23 years to retirement!!!!

You can also drive up Chief Joseph Hwy to Red Lodge MT, drive the Bear Tooth Hwy, etc. I would eat breakfast at Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel. Every morning. Love that place. My Kharma ran over my Dogma.

Stayed at the Ponderosa RV Park, which is only a few blocks from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. This is the best western museum anywhere. If you want to see everything, plan on 1-2 days just there. The Buffalo Bill Dam is a few miles west of town on the road that leads to the east entrance of Yellowstone. I believe that Cody has a nightly rodeo in the Summer. When we left Cody to head for Yellowstone, we drove the Chief Joseph Highway to the northeast entrance. An absolutely beautiful drive that can be done with a day trip if you desire. Spending time in Yellowstone is an obvious suggestion, but IMO Cody is too far away to use as a base camp. 2003 Winnebago Minnie 24F - Ford E-450 4*phun*2 • View posts Canada Senior Member Joined: 09/24/2008 View Profile Posted: 01/25/12 07:14pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator No there isn't. JMHO. Take a run down to Thermopolis for a couple of days to relax in their hot springs.
