Campers often find us as they travel to or from Yellowstone National Park, which is about 100 miles from Greybull. Once here, however, they discover that there are many great reasons to stay just a little bit longer at the Greybull KOA!
Sitting at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in the high desert, Greybull is surrounded by natural beauty that just begs you to go off and find yourself. Tired of crowds? Not many of those in the Bighorns! You might even find yourself alone at Shell Falls, the Dinosaur Tracks or while hiking to the Medicine Wheel or Porcupine Falls. Wild animals outnumber people in Wyoming and spotting Antelope, Moose, Elk, Big Horn Sheep, Mule Deer and wild horses are common on your day trips.
Feel like staying put? Spend a day in small town America. Visit our local shops, museums and restaurants, stroll Main Street or walk the path along the river. No matter your choice, a quiet campsite and a heated pool, in the summer, is a wonderful way to relax afterward!
Yellowstone needs no introduction! America's First National Park should be a bucket list item for everyone! Just 2 hours outside the East Entrance to the Park and 3 hours to Cooke City and the NE entrance to the Park, you can easily get to the park from the campground. Many of our guests prefer the quiet of the Big Horn Basin as their base camp, venturing out to the Park on day trips, or stopping here before a scheduled camping trip in the park. Out west, you will see that drives are longer, but that doesn't mean they are without beauty! Your Trip to Yellowstone will take you either through the Shoshone National Forest, over Avalanche Pass and into the park or drive Chief Joseph Highway and enter the park from the NE.
Greybull lies at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in northern WY. The Big Horns quietly surprise; rising abruptly 8,000' up from the Plains, greeting East/West travelers from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore like a beautiful wall. Running 200 miles north though the Great Plains, they peak over 13,000', and are home to wildlife like moose, elk, mule deer, black bear, and Big Horn Sheep If Mother Nature is on your list, the Big Horns offer so many choices. Just getting in is memorable. Good roads weave through a crack in the wall, into a canyon, with walls towering hundreds of feet above, until the road takes you so far in, the canyon looks small. Their absolute rugged beauty is both calming and exhilarating. Once in, stop at Shell Falls, hike a trail, visit the Medicine Wheel or find a lake or stream and maybe a fish or two. Go fast or slow - your choice. The Big Horn Mountains offer an uncrowded year-round paradise for visitors and area residents alike. You won't forget them.
This national park is a little known gem, created after the construction of the Yellowtail Dam in the 1960's. Here you are treated to breathtaking views of the Big Horn Canyon from the Devils Canyon overlook. Boat rentals and boat tours are available to take you into the Canyon during the summer months. Trout fishing at the lake is popular, as are the hiking trails, and overlooks that highlight the unmarred natural beauty of the park. Here you feel the old west. You see the immense obstacles our ancestors faced. Here you are free from the sights and sounds of modern life. The night sky is virtually free of light pollution, opening the Universe up to you. The Canyon is also home to the largest herd of wild horses in the US, who share the area with Big Horn Sheep, deer and soaring birds of prey. This, the third largest canyon in the US, is virtually unknown, but never forgotten. Of Note: The park is located in both WY and MT and they are not directly connected.
Shell Falls is a spectacular waterfall located in the Big Horn Forest just 30 minutes from the campground! The Falls are easily viewed from the top or you can take the staircase to get closer. The roar of the falls greats you from the parking lot. Water from high in the mountains cascades 120 feet at the rate of some 3,600 gallons per second, following a breathtaking course of fractures in the three-billion-year-old granite. Keep your eyes pealed for the little marmots that call the granite fissures home!
The Shell Falls Interpretive Site is a Ranger staffed visitor center that contains examples of the plants, animals, history and geology of the Big Horn Mountains. As always, we recommend talking with the Rangers as a way of really honing in on what interests you!
Open 7 days a week from Memorial Day through September, 9:30 - 5:00.
The Red Gultch Dinosaur track site lies just 15 miles outside of town and is the largest tracksite in Wyoming. The prints were discovered in 1997. There are hundreds of dinosaur tracks at the site, which are believed to have been laid down at the edge of the sea that covered this area during the Middle Jurassic Period, 160-180 million years ago. Afterwards, consider a stop at the GeoScience Center on Main Street, where you and the kids can learn more about the plants, animals and dinosaur fossils that are abundant here. The GeoScience Center also has many local specimens and knowledgeable staff to answer your questions.
The drive out to the site is also breathtakingly beautiful. Even at the height of our summer season, it is possible to drive to the site and back and never see another person!
Directions: 8 miles East of Greybull off Hwy 14, take the Red Gultch/Alkali National Back country Byway (a pretty good two track dirt road) for about 5 miles. There are restrooms at the site but no other services.
The Medicine Wheel is a sacred Native American ceremonial site that is still used today by numerous tribes. Visitors are asked to respect the solemn nature of the site and are required to leave it undisturbed, however, you may take photographs. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970, the exact age of the site is unknown. It is believed to have been constructed between 900 and 1,800 A.D, however, prehistoric Native Americans have used this area for nearly 7,000 years!.
When you arrive at the Wheel, you'll understand why! At 9,642 feet, the entire Basin is laid out before you. There is quiet solitude here above the timberline on Medicine Mountain.
The Wheel is located on Forest Service Rd 12 off 14A, in the Big Horn Forest and is open from mid-June to September, weather permitting. It can be very cold at the Wheel so always bring a jacket! It is a 1.5 mile hike to the Wheel from the parking lot. Visitors with disabilities may use a vehicle to get to the site. There are restroom facilities.
Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range: Located just outside of Lovell, Wyoming about 30 miles from the campground, you'll find the range of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses which covers some 38,000 acres. No one knows for sure where the horses came from, but they are thought to be descendants of Spanish horses brought to the area by the Native American Tribes who inhabited this area. The herd is and have been here some 200 years. Stop at the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center for more information on the herd, including insight as to where they might be on any given day.
Tours are available through the Wild Mustang Center
McCullough Peaks Wild Horses - Driving from Greybull to Cody (on the way to Yellowstone) you will pass through this 109,000 acre wild horse range that is home to roughly 100 wild horses. These McCullough Peak Wild Horses are also thought to be descendants of Spanish horses brought here hundreds of years ago. Leaving Greybull, you can often spot them on the right side of the highway.

A breached anticline filled with brilliantly colored badlands and many fossils.
A day trip south of Greybull to the town of Thermopolis (70 miles) offers a variety of experiences for the whole family!
Thermopolis is home to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center, a world class museum featuring many of the dinosaurs and fossils found locally, as well as dig site tours. While in Thermopolis, visit the free bath house and enjoy a dip in the thermal pools, before heading out to explore Wind River Canyon!
