    Cottonwood Campground Wyoming

    Relaxing Place to Get Away

    The spots were shady and it was not crowded at all. There were only about 5 other groups at the campground. You could even walk down to the lake. It got a bit windy at night. This campground is also nearby Devil’s Tower Nat’l Monument, which is a can’t miss if you’re in this area of Wyoming.

    Cottonwood Campground Wyoming

    Beautiful Campground

    Set several miles from the highway down a gravel road. If using a gps do not turn into the grass path, there’s an actual gravel road about another 200 feet or so. The gravel road leading into it can be quite narrow.

    Absolutely stunning site. There’s a stream that runs through some of the campsites (they have bridges over it). You pay (self register, $6 a night) on site (first come first serve so take a quick spin to find an open spot before registering). The bulletin board where you do this is a ways into the camp but impossible to miss.

    I went in October and it was very cold at night. Also lots of hunters there for Antelope. I didn’t get to poke around as much as I wanted as I had no orange clothing with me.

    Atlantic City Campground — Bureau Of Land Management

    Clean and quiet

    Site 17 has two picnic tables, one on the gravel parking pad and one down a short flight of steps. The fire ring is by the bottom picnic table. The entire campground was clean including the vault toilets.

    For desert lovers

    Stopped here for the night and the view is breathtaking.

    Desert lovers would love the mix of mountains and lake.

    Very quiet - no one around besides a few fishermen’s and the canyon near by is a point you don’t want to miss

    Wind River RV Park

    Simple Overnight Spot

    Tucked back in a quiet neighborhood. Friendly, helpful office manager. Bathrooms were big, modern, and clean with separate shower rooms. 50 cents for 5 minutes per shower with plenty of hot water. Sites were level & easy to get into. Nothing fancy - just a good overnight spot.

    Bishops Point Campground

    Not to bad

    This is my second time staying here, it’s not bad. Definitely windy and there are few spots with trees but not really. The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board. The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!

    Atlantic City Campground — Bureau Of Land Management

    Camp in the Pine Trees

    Nice, clean, and quiet.  This campground is a high quality BLM site.  Spaced out well, in the pine trees.  Beats crowded, packed in gravel CG's any day.  The GPS coordinates  posted are wrong.  Use these instead.   42.305400 N   108432568 W   at 8,219 ft. elevation.  The camp host gave us things to do, and directions.  We didn't go to "Miners Delight", but did go to "Atlantic City", and "South Pass City".   Atlantic City has a walking tour map, that can be picked up on Main street near the Mercantile location.  It was fun to follow the map and see the sites.  South Pass City has a restored mining town section.  Very interesting to see.  It's more of a museum setting, vs the usual souvenir selling tourist trap.   Fun to explore and see how the miners lived back then.  Highly recommend.

    Oil Road to the Mines Dispersed Site

    Roadtrip Pit Stop

    Just what we needed driving from the Tetons back to Denver. It was easy to find, was right on the route, and was far enough from the highway that traffic was just gentle light noise. Felt very safe! When you turn off you’ll see a sign that says “Mineral Road X” and the coordinates on this listing took us right to a large, gravel/dirt patch. Plenty of room to camp! I enjoyed a night of cowboy camping under the stars. There were quite a few mosquitoes though! Bring your bug spray!

Fishing opportunities: Bishops Point Campground provides direct lake access for anglers. A camper notes, "This campground is in an area with several boat launch spots so it gets very noisy. The area has two pit toilets that are taken care of but heavily used. There are plenty of places to fish and four wheel."

Water recreation: For water activities beyond fishing, Bishops Point offers options for boating enthusiasts. "The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board. The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots," reports one visitor.

What campers like

Convenient overnight stops: Wind River RV Park serves as a practical layover location. One camper explains, "Tucked back in a quiet neighborhood. Friendly, helpful office manager. Bathrooms were big, modern, and clean with separate shower rooms. 50 cents for 5 minutes per shower with plenty of hot water. Sites were level & easy to get into."

What you should know

Weather considerations: The Jeffrey City area experiences sudden weather changes. At Wild Iris, one camper reported, "We planned to stay for at least couple of nights but following morning after with beautiful sunshine, clouds gathered and viscus thunderstorm arrived from nowhere. Blowed our seat cushions away to nearby creek."

Site availability challenges: During peak season, securing spots requires early arrival. "I arrived at 3:30pm on a tuesday and there were barely any spots left," one camper at Wild Iris reported.

Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds have issues with water quality. At Wind River RV Park, a visitor noted, "We hooked up to the water and when I tried to cook with it, the water smelled and had some stuff floating in it. It didn't seem safe to use, so we unhooked and had to use the reserve in our tank."

Site proximity considerations: For families wanting more privacy, note that some campgrounds feature closely positioned sites. At Wild Iris, one visitor observed, "Nice but close to others. Not sure if there are more spots up the road or not. Would be good if camping with others as there are multiple sites in one pull off."

My husband worked during the day on his hotspot, only had a little interference when heavy clouds moved in."
