Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lander, WY

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!

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.

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!

This 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.

Is 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

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! Friendly and helpful staff. We had a bar plus of AT&T signal, so some connection.

Clean, 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.

RV GPS easily took us right to the campground(CG), which is on Main Street on the south side of Lander. Check in was quick and easy and we proceeded to back-in site 9 with FHUs. However, the 50/30 AMP power was on the door side of our 5th wheel as this is a pull in site for motorhomes. Since our power cord was in the middle of our rig, we easily reached the post. If you could not reach they have 50 and 30 AMP extension cords. There was sewer on both sides of the site. Water was also on either side and the pressure was very good. We got 4 bars Verizon and the WiFi was below average for a CG this size. We got a few OTA channels. Satellite could be iffy due to trees in the park, but we had a clear shot to the southern sky. A nice feature about our site was a nice sized grassy area out back of our site for the dogs. We noticed that people cut through site 10 to use it. We did experience the wind gusts while we were there, but we weren't worried our trailer was going to blow over. You do need to keep your awnings in, especially if you are leaving your site. Sites were pretty close together, though not so close that awnings touched. They have a nice little camp store plus they sell propane and firewood. This CG was a nice overnight or short term option.

It’s basic, it’s simple, it gets the job done! Looking for a free camp area in Lander? Well look no further than the Lander City Park!

That’s right, you can sleep, camp, park, RV right on the south end of the park. There are bathrooms and the river right along the park. What you see is what you get. You can camp anywhere on the super green lawn or chill in your RV or SUV/truck. It’s free! And that’s hard to beat (especially in this economy)!

It’s right in town so you get excellent service and you can go snag something to eat if you are tired of boiling water for cup o noodles. It’s at the park so you can grab all your new hobo friends there and go play a quick game of kickball on the diamond fields, show off your horseshoe throwing skills at the horseshoe pits (bring your own horseshoes) slam some spikes at the volleyball pit, tennis it out at the tennis courts, start a therapy session with strangers, jam out on your guitar on the stage (magic shows and interpretive dances are also allowed) or just dip your feet in the cool streams that run through the park.

It’s not much, but it’s an honest place. Respectable and non judgmental park because everyone is there doing the exact same thing you are doing. Just trying to pass the night to get to some incredible adventure the next day.

This 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.

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.

Well done and nicely maintained Campground just a few miles out of town. 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. Some sites are close to others while some are fairly isolated. Get there early to claim a spot with a pay slip, site was pretty much full on a Thursday in June by 3pm. River and Sinks are great, so is the local town of Lander. Fun little brewery in town and nice locals. Would highly recommend.

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!

This place is incredible. One of my favorite places and would go back in a heartbeat. The canyon road goes straight up and includes a number of small campsites along the way. We stayed at sinks canyon and had a great time. The sites are nestled against the beautiful rushing mountain creek. We enjoyed the hiking and swimming and got to love this special place. The rates are very reasonable and all handled through self pay. The camp host is awesome and has firewood and lots of stories. We spend two night but could have stayed a week or more. The paved sites are a bit uneven. So you will need levelers if parking a camper. The tent sites and yurts are very popular here. Highly recommend this one. The grocery store in Lander offers discount for campers if you produce your pass.

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. The campsites are spaced away from each other so as to enjoy privacy. We could have stayed longer it was wonderful.

We arrived super late at 10pm. And they have maps in the front office where you can see availability. The place is very cozy and clean. It has a great view and a little stream of water, dog area, playground, and store. It's 3 minutes from the town where you have plenty of restaurants.
