Best Tent Camping near Jeffrey City, WY

This is one of the most amazing campsites I've stayed at. The bubbling creek is so peaceful to be around. It's small enough that you can find places to cross over. So much fun. The campground is spread out along a straight dirt road. Most of the sites have a lot of privacy, and some of them are so far apart it feels like you are the only person in the park. The hike back to the registration station from my site (17) took almost 10 minutes! But there are vault toilets spread throughout, and they are immaculate. The drive in was about 20 minutes of gravel. The views from the road are awesome. It is washboarded in some spots. It shook things loose in my RV that had never come loose before. But it was worth the trouble.

There is no cell service at this campground.

This camp is right across the hill from the larger Atlantic campground. They are very similar in what they have and offer. It isn’t as big as the larger Atlantic camp which is nice to have less crowds.

It is $6 a night which a a bargain for the site. You have lots of trees, picnic tables, fire pits, a bathroom and a hand powered pump!

Very close to Miners Delight and Atlantic City. No service in the area.

It was very noisy with rucks blasting by on the freeway. The site wasn’t very clean and all close together in a gravel parking lot. 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.

Very nice location. A few pull through sites. Most sites up to 30’. Plenty of vault bathrooms. No dump station! Very close to Atlantic City, great food there.

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.

A really top notch camping area. It offers quite a bit.

Bathrooms are very clean and there are 3-4 of them. There are multiple spigots for water and trash bins. Each camp site has a picnic table and fire pit. Each spot has lots of trees so you really feel like you are in a forest. Great place if like to hammock.

No service in the area which is nice, and it’s really close to Miners Delight and Atlantic City.

This is a very nice campsite. The campsite host was super nice and helpful and recommended the perfect campsite for us. The whole area was very clean as well as the toilets. The sites themselves are very spacious and well kept. For $6 a night it’s pretty impressive. Potable water is also readily available.

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.

Very nice small FCFS campground. Clean pit toilets, water (can attach hose to fill tank). Quiet spot, good spacing between sites. Host was great - took good care and offered great suggestions on things to do in the area

Great views pretty quiet campsites, fished from shore and sup boarded and swam larger lake with nice areas to swim. A few trails and areas to hike and bike. When passing through will visit again. Tables and shade at most sites with a marina store for ice, beer bait

Scenic. Lots of bugs but thats what big spray is for. Quiet and right on the lake

Located by the scenic Patherfinder Reservoir, the natural beauty of the surroundings is truly captivating, offering a peaceful escape from the busy routine of everyday life. However, like any beautiful place, there are a few important things to remember. 

The weather can be a bit unpredictable at times, with occasional cold spells and gusts of wind passing through the area. While this might mean wearing some extra layers, the stunning views and calming natural sounds more than make up for it. I experienced a rainstorm during my visit, and it's important to note that in certain areas, navigating the aftermath might be a bit challenging. 

Something to keep in mind is that this spot requires a bit of a break from technology. The lack of a cellular signal might seem a little daunting initially, but believe me, it's actually a good thing. Overall, this campground on Patherfinder Reservoir is a pleasant retreat for those who want to find comfort in the embrace of nature. Despite the small challenges that come with any outdoor adventure, the overall experience is truly refreshing. Whether you're an enthusiastic camper or just want to get away for a weekend, this hidden treasure is definitely worth a visit.
