    Bull Lake

    Reservation Pass Required

    Be aware, you MUST have a reservation pass to camp here. I was told that you can get into serious trouble if you don’t have one. Enquire at Lander or Dubois about getting a pass

    Sinks Canyon Campground

    Good spot

    Pretty busy little campground as it's the only one of the 3 on this road that is first-come-first-serve, at least when I went. Believe it was $15 or $20. Vault toilet, right on the river, and lots of trails. Overflow parking if it's full or if you have a large trailer, though there are trailer-friendly sites. Site neighbor was friendly, so shoutout to her. Definitely worth stopping here if you're staying in the Lander area.

    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.

    Scab Creek - Large Vehicle Campground

    Open area for the horse crowd

    Open sunny Campground for the horse trailer crowd or larger RVs. However, no water, trash or toilets. Water and a vault toilet is over at the horse staging area across the road. Cell signal depends on your sight to a ridge to SE.

    Bull Lake

    Bull Lake Dispersed site

    Heading North out of Riverton Wyoming is Bull Lake. The lake itself is hidden from the highway, but Bull creek has a large bridge that lets you know where to turn. The road is not bad, but can be tricky depending on the time of year and weather. It is a dirt road and prone to mud holes. Following the road up then crossing the dam got us on the side of the lake where we made camp, it was early summer so the water was pretty low and gave us access to sites that would otherwise be underwater. Firewood is easily found, but there is not much for stores so be prepared and take in what you will need. The fishing from shore was good with both Flyrods and baitcast. You will need a Wind River Reservation fishing license and permit to camp and fish here. Make sure to pickup a trash and leave it better than you found it. Enjoy

    Worthen Meadow Campground

    Great spot especially if you’re biking

    Beautiful lake! We enjoyed paddle boarding and watching fish jump. Lots of trees to hitch up the hammock, too. Sites were relatively close together. Pit toilets were well maintained. Upper Brewers trail starts at the main parking lot, it’s great biking with beautiful views the entire ride, although very rocky. In July the wild flowers were still blooming strong!
