• There are also 5 campsites for recreational vehicles with electric. Fresh water and black water waste disposal is available at the camp.
• Laundry facilities.
• Transportation to and from Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody, WY and Billings-Logan Airport in Billings, Montana.

Some Money Saving Tips if You Want to Fly

• For those who are interested in flying, we will be providing a shuttle service between Billings-Logan Airport in Billings, Montana and camp. Airline ticket prices are frequently much cheaper and there are many more choices of airlines that service Billings.
• If you do choose to fly into Billings, we would ask that you cluster your arrival times in Billings around 12:00 noon plus or minus an hour or two so that pick up is most efficient.
• You may also find that flying in on a Saturday is cheaper than flying on a Sunday. The money you save flying on a Saturday may justify making a hotel reservation in Billings for Saturday night. There will be a shuttle service from Billings to camp on Sunday.
• If you do choose to stay in a hotel in Billings, we recommend: Rodeway Inn Billings Logan Intl Airport Near St Vincent Hospital, 1315 N 27th St, Billings, MT 59101, (406) 245-4128. It is nothing fancy, but is the least expensive, closest hotel to the airport and not too far from downtown.
• The drive from camp to Billings is about 2.75 hours, so we ask that you cluster departure times around 11:00 AM or after so that you don't have to get up at 3:00 AM to get to a departing flight.

Participants should bring:

· Sleeping Bag or Sheets/Blankets
· Personal Toiletries & towel
· Fishing Tackle

North Fork Shoshone

The Shoshone River is one of the finest blue ribbon, freestone trout fisheries in the country.  The 52 mile stretch of the Shoshone River between Cody, Wyoming and the east entrance to Yellowstone is referred to locally as the North Fork. Teddy Roosevelt called it "the most scenic 52 miles in America."  Native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout, and mountain whitefish can all be caught from the North Fork and many of its tributrrries.
