    Perfect

    Perfect. I don't say it lightly, but... full disclosure, I'm from Lander originally. Camping here is like coming home, and you can't beat the fishing. Be sure to hike to The Falls!

    Sinks Campground — Sinks Canyon State Park

    ON the highway

    We stayed at site 27. Picked it for its proximity to the river, though I didn’t realize it also had such a close proximity to the highway. Our site was a parking spot. This was stressful because we have 3 young kiddos.

    The site was paved, but not level. Our plastic levelers kept sliding on the pavement when we went to drive onto them. Very frustrating after an 8 hour drive.

    All that being said, we were only about 15 mins from lander. The sound of the river was beautiful and the views were incredible.

    Sinks Campground — Sinks Canyon State Park

    Climbing, fishing, hiking, Oh My!

    Great place close to many very cool sites and activities! Amazing limestone climbing, although I prefer the Wild Iris crag. Fishing the Popo Agie is challenging but rewarding! The hike into the Popo Agie Falls is worth seeing!

    Cost is $15/night. Camp has pit toilets, pottable water and level sites. Each site has a fire pit, table and grill with grate. Dumpster available and bear proof storage is available in each site which is a bonus! The camp close to Lander in the state park is superior to this campground. But this is nice with average amenities.

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Comfortable stay on the edge of downtown!

    This was the perfect place to stay for the Lander area, especially if you plan to access the Wind River Range in Pinedale. 

    OVERALL: Great customer service and handled our reservation over the phone- easy to work with and accommodating. Reasonably priced and used Good Sam discount. Laundry is$2.50/wash and$1.75/dry and the units were very good. They cleaned our clothes well, where most RV parks the washers are not good. It was super windy at times in the afternoon. We even lost power for a few hours one evening because of the wind gusts, but it wasn't too dusty so we could keep our windows open some of the time to let fresh air in. 

    SITE: Gravel roads throughout the park. Turns just a little narrow, but completely manageable- you just have to pay attention. There wasn't a lot of campground scenery at our site, but you can capture beautiful sunsets at the top of the hill at the park. Our site was almost level, we just needed one link on the left side. Lots of shade, along with a nice picnic table and fire pit(although no fires allowed right now). 

    WIFI: Works pretty well for campground wifi. Video calls and streaming were spotty and unreliable, but everything else worked just fine. We also switched over to our AT&T phone hotspot to help with internet speed at times during the work day. 

    NEARBY: There is a gas station right across the street. There is a Safeway or Mr. D's just a few miles down the road. Restaurants, bar and ice cream just a walk away downtown, along with a few cute shops- Dulce Ice Cream; Lander Bar, Cowfish and The Middle Fork(to name a few). They have gluten free options as well!

    Worthen Meadow Campground

    Pretty, quiet campground

    Peaceful lakeside spot – stayed here for one night while passing through the area. Loved the sunrise over the lake and the privacy of the sites. Quiet place to camp, even though there were a lot of groups there when we arrived, we had no trouble finding a spot. Pit toilet on-site and walking trails around the lake are close by.

    Nice location, more expansive for non-locals

    Reservation is mandatory in summer. Spot 25, 26, 27 and 28 are directly next to the playground. Waterpump available, non-flush-toilets, no running water. Every space has a parking spot, tent spot, fire ring and picnic table. Costs: $28 for a night as non-resident

    Popo Agie Campground — Sinks Canyon State Park

    One of my favorites!

    They have recycling!! This is the first campground I've stayed at that had recycling bins!

    For Wyoming residents, cost is only $6.00 a vehicle. Not per site. It is $11 if you are from out of state which is still more reasonable than the surrounding forest service campgrounds. What a bargain!

    This campground is very clean and in a beautiful setting with big limestone cliffs on one side and the Popo Agie river and forests on the other. The Sinks of the Popo Agie isn't far from camp, about a mile and the Visitors Center is located there.The rise is about another half mile away and has the biggest trout I've ever seen! The climbing in the area is spectacular! There are hiking trails galore in the state park and in the Shoshone National Forest.

    It is my experience that state parks have the cleanest campgrounds! They clean the ashes out of each fire pit between each new camper. The pits toilets are stocked and maintained.

    They have 3 yurts you can rent! Cost is $40 plus the $6/11 state park fee. Reservations can be made at www. Sinkscanyonstatepark.org

    there is a very cool suspension bridge crossing the Popo Agie that takes you to a hiking/mountain biking loop in the forest.

    Such a cool place! Check it out!

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Sleeping Bear is full service and then some!

    This campground has friendly and accomodating staff, nice bathrooms, laundry facilities, small camp store, water and sewer hookups, a small dog park and a splash pad to cool off! Spaces are all very level and a viriety of options including back in and pull thru and they can handle larger RVs as well. The owner/manager even gave us some local fishing tips and recommended a great place to have lunch in town. This is without a doubt the best campground in Lander and probably for miles around!

    The town of Lander seems to have a little of everything in a friendly small town atmosphere.  I'll be back, maybe even move here someday!

Guide to Lander

Dispersed camping near Lander, Wyoming provides direct access to the Wind River Range wilderness at elevations ranging from 5,300 to over 8,000 feet. The summer camping season typically runs May through October with average July temperatures reaching 85°F during the day and dropping to 50°F at night. Winter visitors staying in the year-round accommodations should prepare for temperatures frequently below freezing.

What to do

Hiking to cascading waters: Popo Agie Falls trail offers an accessible adventure from Sinks Campground. "Gorgeous hiking in this part and Pop Agie Falls trail nearby," notes Dave L., who found the rustic sites beautiful despite arriving late.

Kayaking on alpine lakes: The serene waters at Worthen Meadow Campground provide ideal conditions for paddling. "We would make the drive up anytime to stay here... bring the kayak the lake is amazing," recommends Jaci T., who appreciated the connection with nature.

Climbing limestone faces: The canyon walls surrounding Lander offer world-class climbing routes. According to Carrie C., the area features "Amazing limestone climbing, although I prefer the Wild Iris crag." Sinks Canyon serves as a convenient base camp for accessing various climbing spots.

Mountain biking the Brewers Trail: Experienced riders can access challenging trails directly from campgrounds. "Upper Brewers trail starts at the main parking lot, it's great biking with beautiful views the entire ride, although very rocky," explains Carrie C., who visited Worthen Meadow in July when wildflowers were still blooming.

What campers like

Affordability for extended stays: Wyoming resident campers appreciate the reasonable fees. "For Wyoming residents, cost is only $6.00 a vehicle. Not per site. It is $11 if you are from out of state which is still more reasonable than the surrounding forest service campgrounds," notes Carrie C. about Popo Agie Campground.

Lakeside positioning: Sites at Louis Lake Campground offer immediate water access. "Our car was set up on the lake, and it was beautiful to wake up to," shares Michelle E., though she cautions the experience varies greatly depending on crowds.

Winter glamping options: Heated accommodations allow for year-round luxury camping experiences. Sarah N. explains, "We have stayed in the Sinks yurt system many times, but winter is our favorite. There is electricity, spotty internet and a heater you can turn on. 10 below zero outside and we keep it at about 45-50 deg inside."

White noise from river: Many campsites back up to the rushing Popo Agie River. Charles C. notes, "The crashing waters helped me sleep well all night, while it kept my wife awake for the same reason," highlighting how the natural soundscape affects different campers at Sawmill Campground.

What you should know

Self-registration process: Many campgrounds operate on a first-come basis. "Vault toilet, first-come-first-serve and self-pay ($20), lots of hiking trails nearby," explains Liam F. about Sawmill Campground, adding there's an overflow parking area when main sites fill.

Limited potable water: Several campgrounds lack running water. Carrie C. advises about Louis Lake Campground, "Bring plenty of drinking water as there is no potable water here. The camp sites are kind of close together, but it is also fun to get to know your fellows campers."

Wildlife awareness: Moose present the primary wildlife concern in certain areas. Annie C. observed at Popo Agie, "Campsites are small and close to each other, but level and clean. Each site has the usual picnic table, fire pit, and bear box; but the concerns were less about bears and more about moose."

Afternoon weather patterns: Summer visitors should prepare for predictable weather changes. "Be prepared for afternoon rain," cautions Carrie C., recommending water supplies when visiting Louis Lake during summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Families with young children can use dedicated recreation areas. Marion S. notes about Sawmill Campground, "Spot 25, 26, 27 and 28 are directly next to the playground. Waterpump available, non-flush-toilets, no running water. Every space has a parking spot, tent spot, fire ring and picnic table."

Sliding rock features: Natural water features provide unique recreational opportunities. Suzy H. recommends, "If you drive a little ways from Louis Lake Campground you can do an AMAZING hike that ends in beautiful waterfalls and a 'slide rock' that is very smooth and you can slide over the falls."

Fishing with children: Kids enjoy watching large fish in the area's waters. "The rise is about another half mile away and has the biggest trout I've ever seen!" exclaims Carrie C. about the viewing opportunities near Popo Agie Campground.

Glamping alternatives for families: Elevated camping experiences provide comfort for less outdoors-oriented family members. Elizabeth S. shares her experience: "I took my 4 teens and 3 dogs tent camping here last summer and it was the best of the best. The surroundings are magnificent."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds have uneven surfaces requiring equipment. Steve & Ashley G. advise about Sleeping Bear RV Park: "The paved sites are a bit uneven. So you will need levelers if parking a camper."

Size restrictions: Larger RVs have limited campground options. Rose C. warns, "Small campground with vault toilet and potable water. NOT recommended for larger RV," regarding Sinks Campground.

Loop road navigation: The mountain roads provide scenic but challenging driving. CHris B. suggests, "Follow the road into Shoshone National Forest for some spectacular views of the valley," but adds that motorhome size constraints required staying at the Sawmill portion of the campground due to his 38' vehicle.

Seasonal road conditions: Access to certain campgrounds changes dramatically with seasons. Winter glamping guests should verify road plowing schedules, as Sarah N. notes, "The park plows and shovels before your arrival," allowing winter yurt access at Sinks Canyon State Park.
