Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lysite, WY

You can have pets on leash.  They are very strict about leashes.  Bathrooms very clean, has showers very clean.  Well kept.  Owners seemed polite and nice.  Very accommodating.

We had a terrible time trying to reach someone here to make a reservation but we finally did. -Huge hot pool. -Rest rooms have 2 stalls in women’s. -Showers-there are 4 but 2 are being repaired coin operated. .25 cents for 3 mins. -has full hook-up,pull through. Just electric and water sites as well. -shade available -pet friendly but not a lot of availability to walk other than in campground -next to train tracks.2 a day except Sunday -WiFi is inconsistent, no real cell coverage. -$45 a night

Plenty of room on a great little lake. Had a 34 ft A class and took in on dirt road which covers about 2/3 of lake. The other 1/3 is a 2 lane paved road. Amazing back drop views of the mountains behind us and tons of running room for the boys and dog

We scheduled a stop and we were not disappointed. It’s not full hookup sites but has electricity, some sites have water and there is a dump station in the back. Paulette is pretty friendly and her dog is absolutely adorable. He roams around like he owns the place ... 😜

Quiet at night and plenty of stars to look at.

It was hard to connect with Christine upon check-in. She was not in the office at 3:30pm and she knew we were arriving. We set up and I checked back in and no one was there. Then she got busy with RV’s. The office didn’t open until 8am so again we left. I tried to call to give my CC. They cram the RV’s in and our tent site was literally sandwiched with an RV and cabin. People walking dogs and restrooms were a walk. Stop in Thermopolis for a day and drive south to Boysen State Park and Reservoir.

$55 night, full hook ups: electric, water, and sewage. Pull thru sites. All sites come with picnic table and fire ring. Sites are level. Not very private. Not a lot of shady trees so camper can warm up even with AC. Dog friendly.

Lovely big hot spring pool. it has different sections with different temps. They clean the pools bi-weekly so make sure to ask when reserving if its a cleaning week because you will lose pool time.

Didnt have much luck with wifi. at&t was very week, verizon was good in the area.

State park near by with more hot spring views and bison views. We did the spirit trail just over a mile.

Beware the whole area smells like rotten eggs due to the sulfer in the springs. It can be nauseating.

We have stayed here quite often over the past 30 years or so and thouroly enjoyed soaking for hours in enormous pools there .

A great place to hang out and relax in central Wyoming.

This primitive campsite is located along the middle fork of the Powder River west of Kaycee, Wyoming. I would suggest an AWD or 4WD vehicle to reach the site. This area of Wyoming is called Hole-In-The-Wall country, and Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch used to hide out in the vicinity. There are also some very nice pictographs nearby.

The campsite is free with a vault toilet and no other amenities -- no potable water, no wood, and no trash pick up. Haul out what you haul in. It can get very hot and windy here in the summer. So much so that I cut a two night trip short by one night. You have access to the middle fork of the Powder River, but it's about 800 feet below you as the campsite is on a canyon bluff.

This is a nice spot when traveling through Wyoming. The sites could use a little upgrading that’s why I didn’t give it a 5-star rating. The bathrooms were clean, the showers and laundromat are coin operated, and there a full hook-ups for each site. The Mineral Pool is Awesome. Staff very friendly.

Buffalo Creek Campground is a couple miles down the road from Graves Spring Campground. They both boast the same amenities (fire pits, picnic tables, trash, restroom, creek access, and wildlife). However, Buffalo Creek has half the sites- so, it is more intimate. There is great fishing within 11 miles at "the tubes." This area is very popular during hunting season and a sleeping beauty the rest of the year. Drinking water is available via the creek - bring your own filtration. This is a free, well maintained, sweet escape...utilize it and enjoy the breathtaking Wyoming landscape!!

Ten miles north of Thermopolis, WY, is a small turn around parking area situated in the rolling terrain of western Wyoming.   Wouldn't recommend coming out after dark if it's your first time here, as it's hard to find.  But when you do, this is a very quiet and remote boondocking area. There are no bathrooms, or water close by so come prepared.  And bring your solar power, there's plenty of it. We found the lot to be a little un-level and bumpy but had a few quiet nights here.

Evidence of weekend activity -- lots of spent ammo, a few old appliances used for target practice and some random burn piles indicate that Friday or Saturday nights might get a little rowdy. This might be best enjoyed mid-week unless that’s your thing. 

Hiking, or mountain biking opportunities abound, as well as the nearby ruins of an old mining operation. While these structures are private property, the BLM two tracks and walking trails wind through the remains.   Super cool to check out!

Thermopolis is the largest town in the region and offers all the services you’d expect, food, restaurants and even a natural food store. The downtown state park offers some really great hot springs for soaking. There are three different places offering multi-temperature pools and water slides for the kids. Great place to spend the afternoon and grab a shower. Cell phone service dropped out a few miles back down the road, but was available if you walked up to the south ridge.

This is a fairly cheap place to stay for a night.

The mornings are amazing as the sun hits the mountain just spectacularly.

Firewood is free and the showers cost around $5

This is one of many places you can stay on this road but just a few miles west to toward Yellowstone is an indian reservation. Not too many places to stop there.

There is a dump station and some spots have just electric or just water. I think the spots with both may cost more. but it’s $10 a night for just one without the other. Tent sites are the same.

I would have liked to stay more than one night so we could have experienced more of this beautiful area!

We are all about primitive camping but this one was a must see.

Nice campground at 10,500 feet above sea level! Very rocky terrain. No electricity or sewer for RV's. 2 water pumps, which were shut off when we were there end of September. Lovely sounds of the North Fork Little Laramie River. Hiking available. Apparently used a lot by 4-wheelers; quite a few buzzing around the 2 days we were there. Recommended as another place when all the other campgrounds nearby are filled up!

Military campground on FE Warren AFB. I believe they have about 40 sites, some full hookups. Right in the middle of Cheyenne, WY. Had a great stay.

Beautiful spot by the lake. Large sites well away from neighbours. We visited after the end of the season and just paid on entry.

There is nothing to complain about with this view! Nice traveling stop to Yellowstone area. Sites have plenty of room and are well manicured. Cute playground areas. It was not crowded. Vault toilets. This highway will show a little longer route to your destination but the views! Cons: the wind and near the highway but offset with river sounds.

Coming from Casper this trip was a quick and easy drive for a weekend out of town. We stayed at upper campground and there were a lot of spots that overlooked the river. There’s a good amount of open space in the middle of campground, surrounding the playground. Also, stairs for easy water access down to the river for fishing. We were there in the early spring, but you can tell the trees provide lots of shade for the summer months. Overall we loved our experience and will definitely be going back again!

I was lucky to find one of the sites that did not require a reservation available (only 2 tent sites are available this way). There is no reception here so quickly making an online reservation is not an option.

This campground has spacious sites for tents. I stayed on one of the sites on the ledge just above the water. The toilets are clean and the campground host is a great guy.

At 32.25 dollars it is definitely not the cheapest state park, but the location makes it worth it.

Would recommend

This is an awesome lake that is easy to get to. The campground are below the damn overlooking the wind river. They have vault toilets, playgrounds, great views and are all large enough to accommodate rvs. The lake itself is accessed about a half mile down the road. Clear water and a beautiful backdrop make this a great lake for skiing or just dropping anchor and chilling. Lots of islands to play on in this lake.
