Best Campgrounds near Hyattville, WY

415 Reviews

The Bighorn Mountain foothills surrounding Hyattville, Wyoming feature a blend of established campgrounds and dispersed camping opportunities within a 30-mile radius. Medicine Lodge Archaeological Site Campground, managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, serves as a centerpiece for camping in the immediate area, with sites spaced along Medicine Lodge Creek. Nearby Ten Sleep offers additional camping options including West Tensleep Lake, Boulder Park, and Sitting Bull campgrounds within Bighorn National Forest. These forest service campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, though amenities vary significantly between locations. The region's camping landscape ranges from developed sites with basic facilities to remote dispersed areas requiring self-sufficiency.

Most campgrounds in the Bighorn Mountains operate seasonally from late May through September, with few options available year-round. Elevation plays a significant role in accessibility and comfort, with many sites situated above 8,000 feet where temperatures remain cool even during summer months. As one camper noted about West Tensleep Lake Campground: "Camp is at 9000+ elevation so when you search for weather reports they will not be accurate. The nearest town, Tensleep, is about 4000 ft lower in elevation so the weather can be dramatically different." Forest service roads accessing many campgrounds are unpaved and can be rough, particularly after rain or early in the season. Cell service is limited throughout the region, with coverage spotty or nonexistent at most camping areas.

Wildlife viewing opportunities rank high among camper experiences, with moose sightings frequently mentioned in reviews. According to one visitor at Medicine Lodge: "Sites are well spaced out with Medicine Lodge Creek running through the campground. A walking/bike path goes end to end in the park following the creek." Water features are common draws, with creeks, lakes and rivers enhancing many camping locations. Campground hosts receive consistent praise for maintaining clean facilities, particularly vault toilets. Visitors frequently mention the area's quiet atmosphere and dark night skies as highlights. For those seeking amenities, the town of Ten Sleep provides basic services including gas, groceries, and a popular brewery that several campers recommend visiting after their wilderness experience.

    Highway 16 Dispersed Site

    Roadtrip Stop

    Decent drive off I90 but worth it. Great views and a good place to stop if you’re on a roadtrip. The last bit of road is bumpy and the parking area is fairly exposed but a great spot nonetheless.

    Buffalo KOA

    Nicest KOA I’ve ever stayed at

    Stunning KOA location. Immaculately kept. Prime location. Level site. Lots of amenities, quiet, easy in and out proximity to I25. Would like to have stayed more nights. Our site had a patio and only one neighbor. Grass and trees. Walking distance to beach access.

    Grouse Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 403

    Great spot

    Pretty nice spot right off 16, quite a few nice flat spots with plenty of room for trailer or rv. Had some neighbors but is plenty spread out. Also had some horses come visit.

    Shell Creek

    Paradise!

    Beautiful little campground with 15 spots. Each have a picnic table, fire ring and a charcoal grill. Some tent only sites and a few large enough for rvs. We're in 15 with plenty of space to not have to unhook our 26 foot trailer. Water is available and clean vault toilets. Campfire wood available at host for $6. Host is awesome! We spent a decent amount talking about the area and solar power stuff. Aside from the creek its mostly dead quiet here besides a group has some dirt bikes that come and go once in a while and the occasional camper or side by side coming down the road. 10/10 would recommend. Beautiful scenery and people seem to enjoy fishing here as well. There is a couple spots to park for just fishing. There is a couple bear boxes for tents campers as well. We havnt seen bears in the immediate area but we did see a mother and baby black bear about 10 miles down the road. Beautiful dear in the area. Chipmunks and birds too. Host said there are moose and coyotes in the area but we havnt seen any yet. Definitely lots of mosquitos so bring your spray or thermacells. It's mid August and it's starting to cool down. About 75 during the day and low 50s at night. No electric or rv dump here you must go to Burgess station to dump. (No posted price/donations appreciated) no dumpsters here but a few bear resistant trash cans for small amounts of trash. The water spigots dont have threads either and not meant to fill rv tanks.

    Gebo Road - Thermopolis

    Definitely weird energy

    This camp spot is beautiful but it’s extremely remote and the energy is very weird. As soon as the sun set it felt very haunted and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I would say if you have a big group it could be cool but I do not recommend sleeping there alone especially if you are sensitive to energy/ paranormal things. The spot is not far from the reservation and there is a graveyard at the end of the road that I learned about after sleeping there. Just be aware and respectful if you do choose to sleep there.

    Grouse Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 403

    Wide Open Spaces

    I stumbled on Grouse Mountain Dispersed Camping last Fall and made sure I visited again upon return this Summer.

    Great little town of Buffalo is down the mountain, the views are amazing and spots are spaced out very well here.

    It's on my 'starred' list on my Google maps of best places to boondock. Only downside here is there is no shade, the access road gets a little busy with campers and a private camp down below. All in all? Top tier Boondocking spot from my view.

    Tongue River Campground

    Great spot

    Rolled in around 7 and was able to snag a riverside spot. Bear boxes and picnic table at my site. Beautiful, quiet, and not too far off the beaten path.
