Best Camping in Wyoming: Tent Sites, RV Parks & Dispersed Options

4,880 Reviews

Wyoming camping spans a diverse landscape across two iconic national parks and surrounding national forests, offering options from tent-only sites to full-hookup RV parks, cabin rentals, and glamping experiences. Grand Teton National Park offers sites like Jenny Lake Campground and Gros Ventre Campground, while Yellowstone National Park hosts several campgrounds including Madison and Bridge Bay. Dispersed camping options exist in areas like Shadow Mountain and along Fall Creek Road. Accommodation ranges from tent-only sites to full-hookup RV parks, cabin rentals, and glamping experiences at locations such as Devils Tower KOA.

Roads to dispersed camping areas often present challenges, particularly for larger vehicles or during wet conditions. "The road up is very bumpy and makes the drive feel longer than it is, but there is plenty of wildlife to see on the way," noted one camper about a dispersed site. Most national park campgrounds operate seasonally from May through September or October, with specific opening and closing dates varying by elevation. Cell service is limited or nonexistent in many camping areas, particularly in more remote dispersed sites. Bear safety precautions are mandatory throughout the region, with proper food storage required at all camping locations.

Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors, with sites along creeks and lakes being particularly sought after. Campers frequently mention the spectacular mountain views available from many Wyoming campsites, especially those near the Tetons. Several campgrounds prohibit pets or have restrictions on where pets can go within the park boundaries. A camper described one dispersed area as having "spots along this road sporadically for about 3.5 miles, some require AWD. We found one with a fire ring and a gorgeous view." Reservations are strongly recommended for developed campgrounds during the peak summer season, especially in national parks where sites often fill months in advance. First-come, first-served sites typically fill by mid-morning during summer weekends.

    Coulter Bay Village

    Beautiful park

    Great looking place. The Colter Bay Campground is not to be confused with the Colter Bay RV Park. The Colter Bay. Campground is dry camping except for loop J. It has electricity hook ups. The Colter Bay RV Park has full hook ups and they are both in the same area side-by-side.

    Curtis Canyon Dispersed Camping

    Crowded and unreachable

    The road really is undoable for anything but a jeep or a 4x4 and just keeps getting worse and worse. Thought I could push it in my old van bc it’s a tank but I only have 2 wheel drive and after the first two sites were filled to the brim I chickened out and turned around. BMW infront of me and suberu behind me continued up… lots of traffic around 3pm on a Saturday hopefully they found a good spot. Wasn’t worth it for me. Took about half an hour up and a half an hour down wasted.

    Shadow Mountain Designated Campsites 10-11

    Shadow Mtn - Site 11

    Amazing site. Can’t see other sites from here. 2 other sites just over the hill. Great views and large site with metal fire ring. Road getting here is rocky but not bad at all. When wet I’m sure it gets a little dicey.

    Laramie RV Resort

    Good overnight stay

    Stopped here for an overnight only. Had no reservation but they had space available with full hook ups. Looks like every space is pull thru. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It's a previously KOA site, so infrastructure is in place. Two.sections, the original and a larger new section with more space between sites. See pictures. Bathroom clean but in need of updating. Wifi available and works well. AT&T cell service 3 bars LTE inside camper but 2 bars 5G outside.
