Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Frannie, WY

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sunlight Rangers Cabin. I am a huge outdoors person, so coming here was perfect for me. There are some awesome hiking trails that lead you to some great views and scenery. The campground is located within the Shoshone National Forest and near Sunlight Creek. The scenery that surrounds the cabin is beautiful- lots of trees and mountains. The cabin was really nice, clean and well kept. You do have to call ahead of time to make your reservations because they do not take walk-ins. You do need to bring your own food and supplies because the campground does not provide that. You also are responsible for cleaning the cabin before you leave- they did tell us that you will be charged if you leave the place a mess. They do provide some cleaning products. Also, no pets are allowed. Thankfully we asked when we were booking the place, or else we would have brought our dog. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, and had 4 people. The two bedroom cabin was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The cabins have all the amenities you need- a kitchen (table, stove, fridge), full bathrooms, living room (with fireplace), and beds. You do need to bring your own sheets and sleeping bags. During my stay, we hiked both days. We did Bonneville Pass and Jade Lakes. Jade Lakes was a pretty easy hike, however Bonneville Pass was definitely harder. Great views for both! I would definitely recommend hiking at least once during your stay. The Shoshone National Forest offers a great variety of hikes for all levels. I would just do your research beforehand so you don't get stuck doing a hike you can't handle. I would recommend this campground (however, it is about $150 a night, but worth it!).

Stayed on the north shore side of the reservoir. Did the "camp in the truck bed" thing. There's a neighborhood on the north shore, so it becomes an early morning of it's mid-week since cars start leaving to head to work. The lake is a nice sight in the morning. The dog loved it.

I can’t think of one negative comment, even the towns 9 o’clock curfew alarm was charming. The concrete sites are level and spacious with tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. The grounds are well cared with a small playground and dog run. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a paved walk just steps out of the campground where we took a walk and watched deer. We only stayed one night but wish that all our campgrounds could be like this one.

Staff was very friendly. Sites are gravel. Cute little coffee house. Laundry room was clean & spacious. Friendly horses as you enter. Nice size dog area, but beware of the attacking black birds!!!! We had Wi-Fi when we first checked in. Within a few minutes rain came through & we lost power. The Wi-Fi at the sites never came back on. We lost power twice while we were there. The local power company needs to trim some trees or update the grid. Close to a highway but pretty quiet. Nice little guns & ammo shop on site. Other than the power & wifi issue this is a great campground!!

This is a beautiful campground! The Beartooth highway starts going up to the west right here. You must drive this route but plan lots of time for photos. 

The campground stretches out along the Wyoming creek. Let your eyes go upwards and glimpse the mountains around you. This campground is in the valley. Large sites are well spread out and wander through the wooded area. Drive through and select the one you like and then fill out the form. Vault toilets and garbage bins are spread out too. We found quite a few open sites but many were reserved. If this one fills up there are a few more down the road. 

The trailhead for the Wyoming creek trail is at the start of camp. We saw plenty of cars parked here for day hiking. This is a great place.

This was a great stop on a national parks trip in the Wyoming area. The campground was less busy than in the national parks. Sites were clean and large. Prices were outstanding compared to other parks near. I would definitely come back here if visiting Yellowstone again.

Porcupine Campground is quite popular because it is clean, has nice large sites with trees, and is a good base camp for hiking, 4-wheeling, fishing, and visiting the Medicine Wheel Archaeologic site. As my title mentions, there is a creek that runs through camp and is low enough by midsummer to allow kids to play and fish in it. Bathrooms are very clean, which is typical for Wyoming campgrounds. If the campground is full, there is dispersed camping nearby, down most of the dirt roads.

Beautiful campground with amazing views of the canyons. No trees so no shade, luckily we arrived in the early evening so temps weren’t as hot. Sky is very, very dark and you can see so much on a clear night. Great for anybody with an astronomy hobby! Heard coyotes at night but sounded far away. First come first serve spots, you pick an open spot and deposit the payment in the provided envelopes by the bathroom and put it in the Iron Ranger. You then clip a piece from the envelope to your spot to show you’ve paid. Some spots have fire pits, others do not so choose wisely. The spots are spread out enough so you’re not close to other campers. Bathrooms were adequate, flush toilets with soap/water/hand dryer. Highly recommend and will be staying here again next time we’re in Wyoming!!!

This is a very clean and well maintained spot. Ideal for a campervan or truck camper. Good covered picnic tables and nice pit toilets Also, the reservoir was quite a pretty spot

Very easy to find and probably 20 to 25 Camping spots. Some hold rigs up to 35 ft. Dual vault toilet, metal fire pits dispersed. Garbage cans available and picnic tables. However, disrespect of the land and garbage in many places outside of the cans. Sound travels across the water and some disrespectful people. Nice for one night but also stayed 4th of July weekend so might be more crowded than usual. Also, very, very windy up here. Not recommended for tents

Clean, cheerful, easy to get in and out- convenient to the highway- highly recommend Only hiccup was how low to the ground the electric was- we had to bend the cord to connect

What a gem this find was! Free camping with showers and bathrooms as clean as home, close to restaurants and a cute movie theater, and close to the Bighorn Canyon with great wildlife. I took advantage of its location to head towards Cody to visit the Heart Mountain Internment Camp interpretive center as well as to head up Bighorn Canyon to look for wild horses in the Pryor Range. There are about 8 RV pull through sites and about 5 or 6 tent sites, all with picnic tables available(although some tent sites share a table). The tent pads are not really dedicated pads, but they are covered in wood mulch, so they are nice and soft. You do get a little noise and dust from the nearby ballfields, and it was really windy the afternoon I showed up so I was glad I had extra tie downs for my tent. Once the sun set however, the wind died down. While the campground isn’t a destination site, it’s a great stop off while traveling.

It’s hard to believe that a town creates a free campground for anybody to use. This is well laid out with RV and tent sites. Water, restrooms and showers are all available. There is a donation box for people to offer their own fair value price. Perhaps all towns should offer donation based camping. With the effort the town put into this place, it’s a blessing. 

Town is a wonderful place. There are some unique small stores and restaurants. The families sitting in their yard wave as you pass. Right next to the campground is a great park. 

This is a wonderful community offering.

The park is nestled between a local play park and a ballpark and residential homes. It has 5 pull through site, 2 back in sites. All sites are nicely shaded. Has restroom, shower and you can fill water jugs. No electric but has a dump station.

The campground was pretty open, but there wasn't a breath of wind. It was a little pricey if paying online ($7.54 in extra fees), but we'll worth it. Bighorn park is absolutely breathtaking and underrated.

Open year round but, water and electric are off September 30 through May 1. There are no vault toilets in campground. 1/4 mile away flush toilets are open year round. $30 per night for developed sites (no senior discount). $18 per night for undeveloped sites with no water or electric. Senior discount ok. (There are no undeveloped sites unless you count the developed sites in winter when power and water are off.

November 5 I was the only one there. No trees or shrubs anywhere.
