Newton Creek Campground

Perched along the scenic Shoshone River, Newton Creek Campground offers a tranquil retreat complemented by captivating natural and historical features. Just 16 miles from Yellowstone National Park’s East Entrance, this campground provides an excellent base for exploring nearby landmarks like Mummy Cave, hiking to a natural bridge, or visiting the memorial honoring firefighters from the 1937 Blackwater Fire.

With 31 campsites suitable only for hard-sided camping due to active grizzly bear territory, Newton Creek is tailored for wildlife enthusiasts and adventurers seeking authenticity and safety in the wild. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof food storage, potable water, and clean vault toilets, though there are no electrical hookups. The absence of cell service and the serene riverside setting ensure a peaceful escape where nature takes center stage.

Located 37 miles west of Cody, Wyoming, the campground is easily accessible via U.S. Highway 14/16/20. Its proximity to Yellowstone and Shoshone National Forest attractions makes it ideal for day trips, weekend getaways, or extended vacations immersed in Wyoming’s rugged beauty.
