Summer Camp at Camp Buffalo Bill

There’s a first time for everything—like exploring the first national park, Yellowstone, and camping in the first national forest, Shoshone, all while making unforgettable firsts at Camp Buffalo Bill! Whether it’s your first time fishing in mountain streams, earning a new Merit Badge, or hiking through breathtaking wilderness, your week at Camp Buffalo Bill will be an adventure full of firsts that you’ll always remember.

Located just 8-miles from Yellowstone’s east gate, in the heart of Shoshone National Forest, our camp is an unforgettable destination surrounded by stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and endless outdoor thrills. The camp is named after the legendary frontiersman, Buffalo Bill Cody, who played a major role in shaping the mythos of the American West and founded Cody, Wyoming. He envisioned that this area would become the gateway to Yellowstone and a hub for western adventure. Our camp is a celebration of his larger-than-life persona and his commitment to preserving the spirit of the west.
