Lily Lake Camping Area
44.9450, -109.7138
Paddlers and self-sufficient campers who bring all their own water will find Lily Lake hard to beat in July and early August. The on-site boat launch, bear lockers at each site, and mountain lake scenery at a $10 nightly fee make it punching well above its price.
Active construction is reshaping the sites right now, and there's no potable water, no fire rings, no trash service, and no cell signal. Campers expecting even basic infrastructure should look elsewhere around Cody.

Summer is the sweet spot. Expect daytime highs between 55 and 75°F and nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. July and early August see the most visitors, the best trail conditions, and reliable lake access. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent, so plan morning paddles and hikes accordingly. The campground is technically open year-round, but winter means deep snow and difficult access. Only serious cold-weather campers make the trip. Spring and fall bring migrating birds and autumn color but also unpredictable weather and possible road closures.
Summer is 'the sweet spot' with 55–75°F days and best access in July–Aug.
