Best Tent Camping near Evansville, WY

This city park is right next to the river. It is a decent sized loop with picnic tables scattered through out. It is primitive so no electric, but offers a shower/bathroom. It’s first come first serve with a 2 night max stay. Fires and liquor are not allowed and you can fish if you have a permit. People are courteous and free is always a great thing.

Day use access and six overnight campsites with vault toilets, fire rings, trash bins and covered picnic tables right on the North Platte River. Tent pads and room for RV’s. Walk down bank for fishing access. $10 for overnight camping on a first come first serve basis.

You can't actually camp at Hell's Half Acre but less than a mile down the road is wild life refuge with dispersed primitive camping with a vault toilet, picnic table on the river, no water but this is such an amazing area and the night sky is star filled.

Fee box at the entrance with instructions. Buffaloberry features four overnight sites with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings, a vault toilet. Stayed at site#1 which was on the river, the other sites are a bit smaller with river views but along the loop road. The river is beautiful. Not much shade and the sun can be hot. 

The 4-mile road in is bumpy. Cell coverage for verizon was okay. Pets are welcome.

Noise complaints are common. It is one of just a few campgrounds with facilities in the Casper area, so parties do happen often. My advice, avoid weekends if possible, and go in the Spring and Fall, avoid summer. Less people, less bugs, and just overall much more enjoyable. Bathrooms are always clean and kept up. Sites are great for pull trailers, RVs, and tent-campers equally. Lots of room to run around if you have kids and/or pets. Beartrap Meadow is a beautiful place. Please keep it clean, leave no trace.

Great location for us to fly fish several nearby places. Great tables and fire rings and even covered wood patios for most tables. Less than 10 spots but only 3 occupied when we were there. No cell service at camp but rode bikes out few hundred yards and found 1 bar Verizon. Don’t remember if was any main water faucet as we haul our own but was out houses and no electric or sewer hookups.

Campground is a 5. Experience was a 3 due to rain 75% of the time I was there. No one else there first night. 2nd night was a young man who was trying to get out before dark. He got stopped by herd of cows and returned. Dirt road in is mostly sand, but several sections get muddy and greasy with rain. It has been abnormally wet this year and it looks like most people are skipping this campground due to accessibility. I would not recommend a sedan when wet. Vault toilet was clean and well supplied. Forest road trees were being trimmed back.

I stayed here for 4 nights while waiting on a package to arrive in Casper. I really enjoyed my stay. It has the vibes of a paid campground - only free. When you get to the complex drive past the vault toilets and initial picnic area. You'll see 5-6 campsites with concrete beds, picnic tables and grills. There is some road noise, but worth it for a convenient location. There is a 5 day limit. I'd definitely return.
