Greybull KOA

The Great Outdoors

The major attraction to visit when you’re motorhome camping near Greybull is Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. No matter the time of year, it’s absolutely stunning. During the height of summer, visitors will rent kayaks and canoes to explore the dozens of small inlets in the canyon, some of which have excellent backcountry campsites. In the winter though, the sandstone becomes cloaked in snow, which only enhances the beauty of its rugged rock walls.For something a bit closer to Greybull, plan a day of hiking at Devil’s Kitchen, only 20 minutes' drive outside of town. The otherworldly badlands are a woefully underrated attraction that doesn’t see too many tourists, but there are over 100 acres to explore on its network of hiking trails. Just be sure to bring plenty of water and know that it can get pretty slippery after it rains.You can’t visit this part of Wyoming without taking a trip to Yellowstone National Park. It’s one of America’s most popular parks for a reason, hosting some of the country’s most unique geological features – like boiling mud pots and erupting geysers, while also being home to a menagerie of wildlife (moose, bison, elk, and wolves). The park is extensive and could easily take a week or more to explore. If you’re short on time though, consider renting a kayak or canoe and taking an afternoon to paddle around Yellowstone Lake.

Exploring the City

Greybull is most well known for its outdoor attractions, but there’s plenty to enjoy in town on a rainy day or whenever you need a rest from nature-based adventures. As a small town, there aren’t too many restaurants to choose from, but the options that exist serve some excellent food, particularly Mexican cuisine. Greybull also has some small shops worth checking out, some of which sell authentic Native American art and souvenirs.The Greybull Museum, centrally located near the intersection of Highway 20 and 14, is a good place to start if you’re interested in learning more about Greybull’s history and culture. They have an eclectic mix of artifacts ranging from Native American pottery to fossils pulled out of Bighorn Canyon. Museum staff are happy to explain their significance and always appreciate curious visitors.One of the more unexpected gems to explore when you book an RV rental near Greybull KOA is the Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting. You probably wouldn’t expect to find a museum showcasing dozens of large aircraft in such a small town, but the South Big Horn County Airport on its northern end is a major wildfire-fighting base, thanks in part to its central location in the Rocky Mountains. This is one of the few aviation museums in the country that focuses on the topic of aerial firefighting and is certainly worth a visit when you book an RV in Greybull.If you’re looking to take a day trip with your Greybull camper rental, the nearby town of Cody is an excellent option. Less than an hour's drive away, Cody offers a fascinating glimpse into northern Wyoming’s Wild West history and culture. It’s where you’ll find the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a massive five-museum complex housing everything from antique firearms to taxidermy grizzlies to Native American artwork. It’s been described by the New York Times as “one of the nation's most remarkable museums.” Wild West aside, Cody is the eastern gateway to Yellowstone, meaning it has a much more extensive restaurant list and shopping opportunities, not to mention better services for your rental RV.
