The Camp

Camp Buffalo Bill

The accommodations are rustic but functional.

1) Cabins: There are 6 cabins that measure 15’ x 15’ inside. Five of the 6 are completely open while the 6th (the one with a loft) has a 4x4 post in the center. They have a combination of bunk beds and/or single beds. Each cabin has windows that can be opened and both a ceiling fan and a floor fan. The cabins are not heated and have no air conditioning aside from the fans. They can get warm during the day but cool off nicely at night. They do have electricity with more than one outlet. 

2) Tents: New 2024 additions to the Camp Buffalo Bill Lodging…. 6 Diamond Brand all weather tents on Trex platforms. Tents have electricity, a fan and are not heated. 

3) Rooms in other buildings: There is sleeping/living accommodations in other buildings on the property. We cannot accommodate all our guests in cabins, so some anglers will be housed in this type of dwelling. They are typically equipped with single beds but there are some double and queen size beds. 

4) Camper/RV pads: There are 4 camper/RV pads with water and electricity. There is gray/black water disposal onsite near the ranger station which is only a few hundred yards from the camper sites. 

5) Camp sites: While not typically used at Anglers’ Basecamp, there are plenty of campsites for tents/campers, but these have no water or electricity. We will occasionally have a guest or staff member use a camp site. Anyone who wishes to pitch a tent is welcome to do so. 

The Lodge

The lodge, the dining hall, it is known by many names, but it is the centerpiece of most of the activity and socialization that happens while you are in camp. This is where you will check into camp when you arrive. We eat our meals, plan our trips, exchange fishing stories, mix our drinks and sit around one or both of the 2 large stone fireplaces to warm our tired bodies in the early mornings and evenings.

This is where we gather as we get organized and leave for our fishing trips planned for the first part or maybe the entire day.

In the warmth of the afternoon sun, we gather on the front porch and grab a rocking or camp chair while we listen to the North Fork of the Shoshone River. We gaze at the Absoroka Range and watch eagles and osprey soar overhead. An occasional mule deer will stroll by and you may see a blue or sage-grouse. Nearly everyone dozes off at least once during the week.

The Ranger Cabin

The Ranger Cabin is the central office for Camp Buffalo Bill and Yellowstone Anglers’ Basecamp. It is labeled on the map to camp. 

Communications

Emergency Number at Camp: (307) 587-5885

Land Line 

There is one land line at camp and it is connected to 2 phones. One of the phones is in the Ranger Cabin and one is in the kitchen in the Lodge. You will be able to use this land line for emergency incoming and outgoing calls. Please give this number to contacts that may need to get in touch with you in case of an emergency. You may also use one of these phones to report an emergency to someone. Please restrict use of this land line to emergencies as this is the only land line we have. 

Wi-Fi 

The camp has StarLink Satellite Internet service. This wireless Internet service is located at the Ranger Cabin and the Main Lodge. It extends to a variable radius around both buildings. Although the radius is variable due to the many conditions that affect satellite Internet services, the signal is strong and fast.

There are no cell phone towers near the camp, so calls on your cell phone will have to be place over the Wi-Fi network. Therefore, you must have a cell phone that can make and receive Wi-Fi calls. Most cell phones these days have this capability.  The Wi-Fi password will be shared with all guests upon arrival to camp.
