Wyoming is where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains, and the opportunities for recreation span thousands of miles. Home to the country’s first national park and national monument, visitors can witness spewing geysers, rolling prairieland, and almost everything in between. Get ready for an epic adventure camping in Wyoming! 


Yellowstone National Park is the home of almost 3,500 square miles of nationally protected lands. From rushing waterfalls, roaring rivers, soaring peaks, and marvels of geology such as Old Faithful, the park has sights not even imagination even conjure. For this reason, hundreds of thousands visit every year. Plan ahead and experience once-in-a-lifetime camping in Wyoming in the process. 


Although abundant, camping in Wyoming is extremely sought after, especially near the park. Twelve campgrounds within Yellowstone National Park provide adventurers with plentiful options, but planning ahead is vital. The Canyon Campground allows easy access to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a picture-perfect waterfall and river vista in the north-central region. Visit Artist’s Point and hike the 300 feet down to the lower falls to feel the rush of the Yellowstone River. 


For a more touristy experience, snag a site in the Madison Campground. Being one of the largest in the park and less than 20 miles from the famous geyser Old Faithful, this area is a go-to for first time visitors. Sitting at an elevation just below 7,000 feet, the crisp mountain air will refresh. This area gets a lot of traffic, so pack in your patience and remember that the parks are for everyone to enjoy. 


Camping in Wyoming also gives the chance to get off the grid. Grand Teton National Park is directly to the south of Yellowstone and allows for some easy-access backpacking. When done right, you can avoid the droves of humanity that flock to the Greater Yellowstone region. 


For an easy trek into the backcountry, get a scenic spot along Leigh Lake or String Lake. These camping sites are often booked months in advance, so get them quick! A hidden gem tucked in the shadow of Mount Moran is Bearpaw Lake and is also relatively accessible from the same trail. Remember your bear spray and enjoy some genuine Wyoming camping!

CAMPSITES AT COLTER BAY ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS. CAMPING IS ALLOWED AT DESIGNATED SITES ONLY.

Colter Bay is a small campground, which is situated in a stand of Cottonwood trees just off of Lakeshore Drive. With only seven individual campsites, it is an ideal spot for you and your family to have some space to yourselves. The campground is largely undeveloped, with only a dirt road for access; six of the campsites do not have any established camping pads. Site 5 has an ADA compliant concrete RV pad. Colter Bay also has decently close access to the water on a seasonal basis. Normally, from May through early-mid July, the bay has water in it, and the campsites have very close foot-traffic access to the water. The water access, and sheltered nature of the cove make Colter Bay a very popular campground during high water. During the rest of the year, the bay drains out, and this campground becomes one of the farthest from the water. All campsites in Colter Bay are potentially impacted during high water flooding.

Amenities:  Electricity (at select sites), Drinking Water, Day Use Group Shelter, Seasonal Boat Ramp and Courtesy Dock, Vault Toilets (3), Fee Canister, ADA accessible camping pads (3)

Bennett Hill is a wide open campground with 44 campsites, and can be most easily accessed from I-25 by turning north on Highway 319 in the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive. Bennett Hill is about a mile down Lakeshore Drive, and will be on the left. The campground is spacious and has plenty of area for you and your family to enjoy the sun and some extraordinary night skies. Most campsites are exposed, with little to no shade, and are situated in a prairie of native grasses. The only exceptions are sites 11 through 20, which are up against a line of cottonwoods. All sites, except for 11 through 20 have large, established, gravel pads for RVs. Sites 11 through 20 are potentially impacted by high water, though trees prevent them from having direct water access. All other sites are a good distance from the water, though many have a decent view of Airport Bay. Sites 3,4, and 6, along with sites 26 through 29 are group sites, which will accommodate up to three camping units. The boat ramp is available seasonally, with the courtesy dock becoming usable in early Spring, and coming out of the water in late July to early August. The day use shelter is reservable from May 1 through September 30.

Custer Cove is a moderately sized, heavily treed campground, which can be most easily accessed from I-25 by getting onto Glendo Park Road, heading south past the main fee booth, and turning left onto Lakeshore Drive. After about 1.5 miles, the campground will be on the right. A shelf of shale and clay surrounds the campground, but gives way to a gently sloped, sandy beach at the southwestern water line. The beach is extensive, and is a popular summer destination for swimmers and all kinds of water recreation. Most of the 20 campsites in Custer Cove have some tree cover, with the exception of sites 6, 9 and 20 which are entirely exposed. Sites 6 and 9 are also the largest, as both are pull-through sites, with a solid gravel base. The other campsites are fairly short and narrow, making them ideal for small RVS and campers, along with tent-camping. Usually, from mid-May to late July the water is high enough that campers at Custer Cove have easy walking access to the water’s edge. As the water level drops, the walk to the shoreline grows longer, but the campground remains one of the closer campgrounds to the water.

Waters’ Point is a moderately sized campground, which can most easily be accessed from I-25 by heading north on Highway 319 out of the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive; the campground is approximately 3 miles down Lakeshore Drive, on the left-hand side. Waters’ Point provides access to two small beaches, one red sand beach, and one white sand beach. While both beaches are rockier than Sandy Beach, they are still excellent spots for swimming, or just for spending a day on the lakeshore enjoying the sun. The campground has 10 campsites, four of which (sites 1 and 3-5) have partial shade, and the other six of which have no shade. Waters’ Point is a perfect choice if you are looking for a slightly more rugged camping location.

**Four wheel drive is recommended for anyone planning to camp in Soldier Rock.**
Soldier Rock is a campground which has three small sections along Lakeshore Drive. Each area provides good access to the water, partially shaded campsites, and several sheltered coves which are excellent spaces for families to gather and spend a day on the lakeshore. All of the campsites in Soldier Rock are fairly primitive, without gravel camping and/or parking pads. Each site is marked by a number sign, a table, and a fire pit. Access roads to each section are narrow and poorly developed, which makes this campground suitable for smaller camping units and tents. 

Soldier Rock Area - Glendo State Park

Red Hills is a moderately sized, unique campground situated on a series of hills which slope towards the reservoir. The area takes its name from the deep red rock which surrounds the campground, and forms the steep cliff faces which border much of it. Red Hills has 22 campsites, spread out over a large, generally wooded area. Site one is a back-in with a steep, narrow access road, and as such is ideal for smaller camping units. Sites 2 -5 are large pull through sites, and all have at least partial shade except 2, which has none. All of these sites are a fair distance from the water’s edge, and have no direct water access. Sites 6 through 9 are small sites, suitable for small camping units and/or tent camping. Site 6 has no shade, while the rest in this group have partial shade. This group of sites is on a hill which slopes towards the water, but there is a steep drop off before the shoreline, and as such, these sites don’t have direct water access. The next group of sites includes sites 10 – 15. 10 and 11 are pull-through sites, but 10 is an individual site with no shade, while 11 is a group site with partial shade, which will accommodate 3 camping units. Both 10 and 11 are land-locked, with no direct water access. Sites 12 through 15 are undeveloped sites, and are accessed through a steep, undeveloped access road; four wheel or all-wheel drive is recommended. Site 12 does not have any direct water access, while sites 13-15 are closer. However, as the water drops later in the summer, the access from these sites becomes steeper. The last group of sites includes sites 16 -22, along with the campground’s only toilet. These sites provide the campground’s closest access to the water. Sites 16 and 17 are small back-ins with partial shade and a steep overlook onto the reservoir. Sites 18 through 22 are larger, and are down much closer to the water’s edge, with partial shade. These last four sites are potentially impacted by high water.

Red Hills Campground - Glendo State Park

Elkhorn is the campground which is farthest north on Glendo’s western shore. To access it from I-25 turn north on highway 319 out of the town of Glendo, and follow the highway for about 5 miles. The exit for Elkhorn will be on the right-hand side of highway 319. Elkhorn is a very popular destination in the spring, as it provides the boat ramp farthest north, and thus the closest access to the river inlet and canyon. The campground is small, consisting of 9 campsites and one day use site. Sites 1 and 2 are large, undeveloped sites, situated in an open field of native grasses. Site 3 is similarly exposed, and has a large, ADA compliant pad. Sites 4 through 9 are all undeveloped sites, situated along a line of cottonwood trees. The toilet is in the boat ramp parking lot, and is a quarter mile from sites 1 and 2, and is a moderate walk from the other sites. During times of high water, normally from early May to early July, there are several points from which visitors can have decently easy access by foot to the water. The boat ramp is often usable by early May or even late April, but is our first to come out of the water when water levels start to drop in July. The ramp and dock are often high and dry by early-mid July.
