Remote and quiet, this free BLM dispersed site sits roughly ten miles north of Thermopolis on rolling Wyoming terrain, accessible via a gravel road that grows rocky and rutted toward the end. A small circular dirt lot serves as the main camping area. It can accommodate multiple rigs or tent setups in the surrounding grassland, though leveling can be a challenge on the uneven ground.
The area's most distinctive draw is its proximity to the remains of a historic coal mining town. The skeletal structures sit on private property, but BLM two-tracks wind through the surrounding landscape, and a historical plaque and cemetery are accessible up the road. Sagebrush, open sightlines across the high desert, and interesting rock formations give the site its character. No shade, high wind exposure, and no water or toilets mean campers need to arrive fully self-sufficient. Verizon coverage is unreliable, though Starlink works, and cell service may be available from higher ground to the south.
Weekday visits tend to run quieter. Spent ammunition casings and old burn piles suggest the area draws off-road and target-shooting crowds on weekends, which can change the atmosphere considerably. Gebo Ghost Town BLM Dispersed sits just down the road and shares similar access conditions. For those using Thermopolis as a base, the town has full resupply options and a state park with hot springs pools, a useful stop for a shower after a dusty night out. Campers exploring the region can browse campgrounds near BLM Land — Worland Field Office for additional dispersed options nearby.
Come mid-week, come prepared, and the solitude tends to follow.
