Best Tent Camping near Lingle, WY

169 Reviews

Tent campsites around Lingle, Wyoming offer varying quality and amenities across several established campgrounds. Packer Lake Campground provides tent accommodation but has received poor reviews for maintenance issues. Waters Point at Glendo State Park, located north of Lingle, offers primitive tent camping with basic facilities. Gilbert-Baker Wildlife Management Area in nearby Harrison, Nebraska also provides tent-specific sites with toilet facilities.

Most tent camping areas near Lingle feature basic amenities with limited services. Waters Point contains 12 primitive tent sites equipped with vault toilets, benches, and fire pits, though fire restrictions may apply seasonally. Packer Lake allows alcohol and fires but lacks drinking water, picnic tables, and trash services. Gilbert-Baker WMA offers picnic tables and toilet facilities but no drinking water or trash collection. Tent campers should prepare for self-sufficient camping by bringing adequate water supplies and packing out waste where trash services aren't available.

Tent camping experiences vary significantly across these locations. At Gilbert-Baker Wildlife Management Area, visitors can access hiking trails and fishing opportunities. According to one visitor, "The sites were well kept and we will be back." Waters Point offers more basic accommodations but provides adequate spacing between sites. A camper noted that while "not the prettiest area," the sites are "not on top of each other," offering reasonable privacy for tent campers. Packer Lake has received negative reviews for its conditions, with one camper reporting abandoned vehicles at the water's edge and describing the lake as "not much bigger than a pond." Tent campers seeking better experiences should consider the Wildlife Management Area or Waters Point for more reliable tent camping conditions.

    Waters Point — Glendo State Park

    Small and primitive

    Waters Point is a small primitive campground with 12 tent sites, vault toilets and bench and fire pits but there is a fire ban at the moment. Not the prettiest area but not on top of each other.

    Colter Bay Campground — Glendo State Park

    Clean, Convenient, Would Return

    We stayed at Colter Bay Campground in the tent only section site 134 F. We had a campervan and a tent and had plenty of space. As with many national parks, neighbors are a little close but not terrible. We liked our site location and would come back again. We were across from the bathrooms and the water and had a huge bear box with a picnic table and fire grate. We had some cell service, but not great as expected. Firewood is sold nearby in the general store. Tent only sites were great because there weren’t any generators. All facilities clean and nicely maintained. Definitely would come back.

    Bennett Hill Campground — Glendo State Park

    Convent and near boat ramp

    Bennett Hill Campground has 3 electric hook ups and 40 non electric sites. The campground has a water spigot, a fish cleaning station, 2 vault toilets, a few shelters with grills and a boat ramp. Each site has picnic bench and a fire ring even thou there is a fire ban at the moment. Sites are spread out so you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. One unique thing is they have loaner life jackets to use for boating or swimming or water activities.

    Reno Cove — Glendo State Park

    Large State Park

    Arrived at the state park gate and checked in with no issues. However, getting to Reno Cove Campground (CG) was a little confusing. The very nice lady at the gate was pretty sure you took the first left past the gate, which was correct. We were glad we had filled our fresh water tank before leaving our last stop (only had a little over an hours drive as we do not travel with a full tank on long drives) as there was no water spigot in the top portion of Reno Cove. We were in RC-11, which is a large, wide back-in with 50/30/20AMP electric. We were told at check in that if we didn’t like our site, we could go look at Two Moon CG. Glad we didn’t because Two Moon CG has several entrances and is large with 87 sites, most of which are primitive. The electric sites are stretched around the playground area. I would not suggest traveling around Two Moon with a large 5th wheel as there are pine trees overhanging and narrow roads that would have scraped the heck out of our 39’ 5th Wheel. You’d be fine with a smaller travel trailer but be sure to check site lengths and reviews on what type of trailers have been in a particular sites. Two Moon does have potable water spigots near each of the entrances. The rest of the CGs are primitive and we did not take the time to explore them all but they do have various sized sites, for example Shelter Point has big-rig friendly sites, but no electric. The challenge for some of the smaller ones are the rough gravel roads in. The Glendo State Park website under 'Campgrounds' gives a pretty good rundown on sites and which ones are electric. There was no shade at any of the Reno Cove sites but really good views of the landscape and reservoir in our site plus sites 7-10. We did not get any OTA channels nor is there WiFi in this CG. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The dumpsters for the Reno Cove area are down by the boat launch. The nearest potable water is straight past the main park entrance a couple of miles away just past the Marina across from the State Park Headquarters at the dump station. There was a fire ban while we were here but the fire pits we saw were pretty full of garbage. We would have better enjoyed the clear dark skies if the trailer across from us wasn’t lit up like a Christmas tree from dusk until literally dawn. That’s not the park’s fault, just more and more rude campers out there these days. You could also hear the trains from Glendo, but the sounds were not overwhelming.

    Ranger Review of Larson Park Campground Wyoming.

    Larson Park Campground is a city owned campground and is attached to the Guernsey golf course, so if you like to golf this one might just be for you. The campground has 15 sites RV sites with 30/50 power on shared power pedestals. These are back in sites all right next to each other. Their is a nice grassy area for tents. The grassy area as several picnic tables and BBQ grills, but not enough for every camp location. A pavilion has quiet a few picnic tables allowing you to eat get out of the rain, or in the shade on a hot day. The site has a restroom facilities and showers. A small play ground structure is available for the kids. Their are several historical sites in the area, a must see is the Oregon Trail ruts located just a short distance away. Be sure to visit Register Cliff just a few miles away and Fort Laramie is 30 minutes down the highway. The campground has a small store with friendly staff. Water is available, each shared pedestal has a frost-free for water.  Hookup sites are $20, Dry camp $14 and Tents $12.

    Ranger Review of Ice Mule Cooler Pro Large (23L)

    We used our Ice Mule cooler as our cooler for our trip to Guernsey Wyoming. Placed our snacks and drinks in the cooler with two ice packs at 6am Friday morning. Was amazed that this kept everything cold through Sunday evening. Being able to carry a cooler on you back is a nice feature. We are looking forward to taking this on our canoe trips this summer as this is going to be way easier than lugging a hard sided cooler from our canoe to campsite each day. The pack/cooler is also comfortable to wear making it useful to long day hikes on hot days. It is going to be nice to have a nice cold drink on a hike when it is 90 degrees out.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Beautiful Yurt and boat during the silt run

    Guernsey has 4 yurts you can rent for $40/night. Clean, all have electricity. Bunk beds with mattresses and fold out futon couch. Wood fire stove if you need heat. Shared pit toilet, bring toilet paper. Picnic table with fire ring. Please buy all firewood locally, don't transport wood! Beautiful sunsets. You might be able to hear the artillery of the National Guard practice area when they are active - which is most of the summer. The best time we had here was during the silt run, which is in mid-July each year. Water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir flushing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators. If you like mud, the reservoir is a ton of fun, as the water level is down 25'. Transporting kayaks through the mud proves challenging - don't fall down or lose a shoe. The reward is a fantastic, easy float of the North Platte river from the reservoir all the way to the edge of town. There was not another camper at the yurt and we saw no one on the river as boats can't get to it due to the mud.
