This RV park is a few minutes south of town, and across the street from a Shell fuel station and convenience store. We stayed here for two weeks. We can confirm that the managers run a tight ship, but they are professional and hard-working. We were grateful for that as the place was secure, well kept and maintained with good laundry facilities. They are off-road vehicle friendly, but you have to let them know in advance how many trailer/vehicle rigs you will be bringing so that they can arrange space for them. They are located only three blocks from Fred Hink's Arrowhead Motorsports operation in case you need dual sport/offroad motorcycle support. When the wind blows there is some dust, but that's what we expect in the desert. It's the desert, man. For the most part it is calm. There is some highway noise, but if you can get a space away from the road it is a bit quieter. We very much liked this place, appreciated the managers, and recommend it highly.

We stayed two weeks and used it as a base to explore Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. It is located 22 miles west of West Yellowstone and is perhaps not the most convenient location to town-side amenities, but the trade off is worth it: We really appreciated the relative solitude here, as well as the very clear nights. We heard that an amateur astronomy comes stays at Red Rock for this reason. Elevation is somewhere near 8,000 feet. The fellow who owns it cares about the peace and quiet, and he asks people not to show up after dark. We liked his attitude and obvious attention to maintenance. The price was good too, and we will return.

We REALLY liked the rear RV spots facing the big meadow and Mt. Adams. Wide open views, good night time observations of stars, shooting stars, airplanes, hiker's headlamps on the mountain, and possibly some other more mysterious happenings... Some sites share power boxes with other sites, and power can fluctuate. Our voltage controller sometimes had to work. The laundry facility is small, but clean. The campground has a lot of trees, but we found a "hole" through the trees for our tripod satellite link up, and we noticed some people put their TV dishes out on the side of the road to get a clear line of sight.

We stayed a week here. It is a couple of minutes from Walmart, 5 blocks to the Buffalo Bill Museum, and within 6 blocks of downtown. The main problem for us: The sewage dump area at the campsite was a little smelly and had apparently been excavated recently to repair a line, but they put the same contaminated soil back in the hole. This observation just applies to an area near the southeast corner of the Ponderosa campground property adjoining the bluff. The laundry facilities were relatively expensive. Other than that it was a good central location to explore Cody and surrounding areas.

Perfect place to stay if you need to stay in the Kansas City area. It is patrolled by security, and has open spaces with good lines of sight to satellites. The spaces themselves are very large. The main problem we had was with power. They said it was 50 amp, but it wasn't as one of the circuits dropped out and so we only got 30 amps. Even though we complained directly to the County, nobody came to fix it. We were there a week. We would come back, but we would check the power first.

Excellent, clean, safe RV park. Though the campgrounds in Grants Pass were also nice, it was nicer to be outside of town - the drive is 10 minutes tops. We almost stayed in town at Grants Pass, but Joe Creek is rural and comparatively quiet, as we preferred not having to be surrounded by commercial properties or be planted within feet of I-5. Larry and Connie are the owners and very hands-on good folk who work hard to keep the place in order. Our rig was secure when we left it there - they kept an eye on it even when we weren't there. We had no problem moving the 35' rig around, and hookup/leveling was easy. The waterfall is at the REAR of the campground, not at the front as one other reviewer stated. It's a peaceful swimming hole, plenty of water running. The store is amazingly well stocked and there are rental video DVD's. There is a mix of permanent and pass-through people, everyone is quiet and easy-going. Downsides? Not anything to really complain about. It's a good, clean place.
