"I'm not sure how Lander makes this work, but they do(and I wish more cities could do the same). We pulled in after dark needing a place to sleep and this place is more than we could have expected."
"Free camping in Lander City Park. We couldn’t believe everything Lander had to offer and it was just a short walk from where we were camping along the creek."
$9 - $16 / night
"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!"
"Nice small campground located 7 miles south of Lander, WY in a canyon alone the Popo Popo Agie river. Clean and comfortable, but very tight for trailers over 20 feet. Very tight!"
$35 - $55 / night
"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!"
"Didn't like the proximity of the park to the highway which made it somewhat noisy in the early evening. Is very close to town of Lander"
"Tucked between the highway and the river, we were concerned about road noise, but the river drowns out everything else. It feels much more remote than it is."
"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. The nature trail was fun."
$15 / night
"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."
"Good hiking and mtb trails right nearby. Busy road with paving going on. Toilet was lesser well maintained."
"I have determined that Lander WY is the friendliest city in America... plus, they let you camp for FREE up to three nights in their city (town) park."
"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."
"This is an intimate RV park located next to a golf course with beautiful mountain views. It’s close to downtown and all the amenities. The owners are friendly and take perfect care of their property."
"Some permanent resides, very quiet and easy access to town and NF."
"Just drive in and find an empty place to camp. Very large spots with lots of room between sites. Easy access to trails and lake. Will g0 again!!!"
"Louis Lake is beautiful. There are some rustic cabins just next to it that you can rent out."
"Coordinates are accurate to site location. Getting into the first few spots the road is ok, getting down by the river it gets rough. We have a 4 wheel drive truck and it was easy for us."
"Camp host Annette kindly waited for us as we arrived nearly an hour past her usual leave time. (Campers may arrive after hours and pick up registration packet at the front door alao.)"
ScoutPerfect. 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!
RangerWe 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.
ScoutCost is $5 but has fire rings and Outhouse. Views are amazing, There are about 15 spots available for big rigs, Road in from Landers is all paved. No cell service. If you drive further along FR 300 there are many dispersed free camp areas.
ScoutThis 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!

LegendThis campground is located just inside the border of Sinks Canyon State Park, only 6 miles from the town of Lander.
This campground has a large group area with a very nice playground for the kids. It is rather close to the highway. The Popo Agie river flows through the campground and borders each campsite (I think there are about 6 sites.)
Sinks Canyon is a fantastic place to explore for the day or weekend. There are abundant hiking trails, mountain biking, and rock climbing ion the limestone cliffs.
this campground would be best for vans or small campers.
TravelerIs a rather small but clean and tidy facility. Tent sites are small but fairly level. Liked that they had individual bathrooms. Didn't like the proximity of the park to the highway which made it somewhat noisy in the early evening. Is very close to town of Lander
GuideClean, well landscaped park....but sites are very close on all sides. The “view” sites are the tightest of them all, but you do have access to a nicely opened area in front/back of RV depending on how you park.
Proximity to Lander is great.
PS. Bit if an eyesore when you first drive in. First impressions count.
TravelerI'm not sure how Lander makes this work, but they do(and I wish more cities could do the same). We pulled in after dark needing a place to sleep and this place is more than we could have expected. Level ground and lots of room, so it was easy to find a spot for our trailer that required no backing up. Bathrooms nearby. Dark and quiet area(doesn't feel like a parking lot). There is a large gravel area with a couple large trees for RVs, trailers, vans, and such. There's also a large grass and trees area for tents adjacent. The whole area is next to a large riverbed with lots of vegetation along the banks. Everything seems clean and well-kept. Lander seems like a really nice town. It's relatively lush, unlike the surrounding country, and feels like an oasis. The signs say the city allows three day's camping and I would be happy to do so if I were ever in the area for an event(apparently there's an apple festival next week!). There's no fee, but there is a sign suggesting donations to the city park service which certainly seems reasonable if you can swing it.
RangerThis RV Park and campground is about a mile outside of Lander Wyoming. The town is small but has wonderful small town charm. The campground is fairly large but the sites are close together. They have pull through, back in, and pull in sites. The pull in sites do have hook ups and they are not on the "wrong side" but that is designed for pull in units like small RVs or conversion vans. There are a couple tent sites with little to no shade and are really just gravel plots. The wifi is good and I had good service with Verizon. Nice bathroom and laundry facilities. I can see this campground being very crowded in the summer.
Lander, Wyoming, offers a variety of pet-friendly camping options for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy nature with their furry companions.
