Our Take
What makes Five Springs Falls Campground special
Perched between 6,520 and 7,240 feet on the rugged western slopes outside Cody, Wyoming, Five Springs Falls Campground offers a striking introduction to the Bighorn Mountains. The campground takes its name from a series of natural springs that feed a picturesque waterfall, creating a cool, shaded oasis amid the dry sagebrush country that surrounds it. Tall conifers and limestone outcroppings frame the campsites, and the air carries that unmistakable high-country crispness even in midsummer. The setting is ideal for day hikers and sightseers. A short trail leads to the falls overlook, and the surrounding forest roads open up panoramic views of the Absaroka Range and the Bighorn Basin below. Cody itself sits roughly 25 miles to the west, putting the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the Cody Nite Rodeo, and the eastern entrance to Yellowstone National Park within easy reach. Sites here are limited and tend to fill quickly on summer weekends, so arriving early or midweek is wise. The campground is typically open from late May through September, weather permitting. Facilities are basic but well maintained, with picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Bring your own water and pack out all trash. For anyone exploring the greater Yellowstone region, Five Springs Falls is a rewarding and often overlooked stop.
