It was 95 degrees out and we needed a full hook up for the night.
The office staff was really friendly and very efficient. Gravel site required minimal leveling. There are some shade trees. Not much to look at aesthetically, but had what we needed for a one night stay.
Good news is electrical and water all worked the way it is supposed to!
Guide
The campground is SAND with some scrub weeds on it, as expected in the middle of Wyoming. Paid over the phone, never saw the host at all, even as we were setting up and breaking down.
Definitely have your doormat out or you will track sand all over your rig.
Just passing through for a one nighter, you can't beat the price. Hosts were very friendly when making the phone reservation. Would stay again, but definitely not for long term.
Guide
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.
TravelerWe 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
Guide
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!
Guide$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.
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.
ScoutThis great little RV park is outside of Thermopolis by a couple of miles, but it is worth the extra drive. Very friendly staff, the sites are close to gather but comfortable. I’ll hook ups included for a reasonable price. Plenty of trees shrubs and grass around to make a mess outdoors experience. The highlight are the mineral hot spring swimming pools (included). All around great site, highly recommend.
LegendFountain of youth RV park definitely has its charm, but also could use some amenity upgrades.
Pros:
Huge hot spring pools open daily from 7am- 9:30 pm. Lots of space and can use floaties even kayaks on the pools. Free use of staying here. Cleaned pools one of the days we were here. Awesome to use at night under the stars.
The views from the pools are gorgeous.
Sites have enough space from one another and full hookups. The owner is really amenable and lets you choose your site.. this is great if you’re looking for more shade or space from neighbors.
There is laundry, showers, and toilets available for use.
Location is awesome—right near the state park, close to the dinosaur center, grocery store is less than a 10 min drive, lots of water activities close by (we went kayaking)
WiFi worked very well the entire time!
Cons:
The owner is definitely nice but runs the establishment by himself and therefore is hard to get a hold of initially and is very busy.
The showers are coin operated. So you have to pay one quarter for 2 1/2 minutes of showering. You can also hop over to the hot springs state park for a free soak in the bathhouse and free shower afterward!
The amenities themselves aren’t anything to write home about—laundry is fine, toilets are not amazing, nor are the showers—but everything works and there’s hot water!
Close to the road and a railroad so you can hear sounds of traffic, but it’s not crazy disruptive. Nothing earplugs can’t solve.
No Verizon or ATT service at the site.
Ultimately, I think the hot spring pools and location are well worth the $$ and loved my stay.
GuideSmall RV park (about 30 sites). Sites are small and close. Friendly and helpful staff (especially the teeny one that wanted to help with propane 😍). Very nice and roomy bath/shower combos and laundry.
GuideThis 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. Highly recommended.

We recently stayed at Crippled Spider Ranch, and it exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in the beautiful landscape near Thermopolis, Wyoming, this ranch offers a truly unique camping experience that caters to adventurers, families, and solo travelers alike.
Campsites & Amenities: The ranch has 71 spacious spots, including full and partial hookups for RVs, and plenty of space for dry camping. The sites are well-maintained, and the full hookups provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. For those looking for an extended stay, they even offer 15% off for bookings over 7 days!
Activities & Attractions: One of the best parts of Crippled Spider Ranch is the variety of activities on-site and nearby. There’s something for everyone—whether it’s hiking on the BLM land that borders the property, petting zoo visits for the kids, or even learning to ranch and milk cows! The property is also a great base for rock hounding and exploring Wyoming’s natural beauty. You can even hunt (seasonal) or target shoot, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those interested in history, the ranch is near the historic Oregon Trail, and there are great opportunities for treasure hunters like metal detecting and exploring old ghost towns.
Staff & Hospitality: The hospitality here is second to none! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. You’ll feel like family from the moment you arrive. They even offer fresh, free-range eggs from their chickens and have a fun “catch-and-cook” option if you’re into farm-to-table experiences.
Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Focus: Crippled Spider Ranch also takes pride in its sustainable practices, from responsible livestock management to preserving the surrounding wilderness. This ranch is a great choice for eco-conscious travelers who want to enjoy nature responsibly.
Overall Experience: Crippled Spider Ranch is the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and Wyoming charm. Whether you’re a family looking for a weekend getaway or a solo adventurer seeking peace and quiet in the great outdoors, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for more!
Tip: Be sure to book early for special events, and don’t forget to check out the nearby mineral hot springs in Thermopolis!
GuideWe needed a couple of days rest. Stayed here in a back in site FHU’s 30amp didn’t use the facilities. The lady was supper nice at check in. It is just dirt and gravel no grass or trees. Pinedale Wy. is 10 miles from the RV park. It’s not pretty but the 30amp was very strong and AT&T was good and Sprint was full bars with MIMO. Very quiet it’s a good spot for a short stay.
RangerWe 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.

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. 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.
GuideWe went in the winter so traffic was super low. Mostly just us at the park so we got the 2 giant hot spring pools to ourselves. Soak in mineral rich waters up to 110 degrees in some areas. Full hookups, but no water in the winter due to frozen lines.
LegendWe went by, but ended up not staying. Not because of the park, but we wanted to be downtown this time. The new owners are working hard on maintenance and upgrades. Concrete pads. Full hookups. Shower house (needing updates, but understand they are in the works). Best of all? 1600 sq ft natural mineral hot springs pool!!! Heaven! Free if staying there, only $10 if not. Campground is right on the river surrounded by mountains. Only draw back is the train tracks across the river. Thank goodness trains don't run often.
Traveler
Nice free spot but mostly for RVs as there are lots of rocks/gravel. Spot to put in a boat too. They have picnic tables (most covered) and fire pits.
We didn't end up staying because it was too rocky for tent stakes and it was incredibly windy. The wind was everywhere though so not necessarily the location. We had heavy wind all day throughout our drive across NE and WY.
We found the spot on the west side by reading a previous review but there is another spot on the north side maybe.
Guide
The good - the staff is great, very helpful and responsive. The place is well kept overall, although the bathroom spiders were pretty impressive themselves and its all pretty aged. I did have a few scalding/freezing moments when someone flushed a toilet and I was showering but it was our first shower after 4 days in Yellowstone and it was lovely.
The park has a nice table and grill, full hookups and nice shade but the spots are very tight so you'll need to be handy with backing and leveling around the tree trunks.
The bad - holy mother of big rigs. The traffic going by at all hours is SO loud. SO SO loud. None of us could sleep and we were all pretty cranky. I guess you balance easy access with highway and truck noises, but be aware that it's an issue.
Side note - breakfast at the Black Bear Cafe (0.8m) was delicious, down home goodness and recommended for cranky bad-sleep travelers to perk up.
Also the Star Plunge was awesome, great facility, great hot springs and the slides were a huge hit. We were warned to avoid Teepee hot springs as the slides are very rough and will remove more layers than you'd like.
LegendWe stayed here 2 years ago. That is our test. Would we be back? The answer was yes. So, here we are in site #4. Staff is super friendly. Cute downtown, with health food store & brewery. Hot Springs State Park close. Recommend the free state mineral pools. Grocery store, dollar store and liquor store just a couple of blocks. Fast food within walking distance.
PROS:
CONS:
Legend
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.
Guide
Rolled down off the snowy Powder River Pass in the Bighorn National Forest and through the Wind River Canyon to find the most incredible sunset site overlooking the Boysen Reservoir at the “Brannon Campground”. It was suuuuper windy but we had spectacular views.
We were here in early November. Pretty much had the whole of the reservoir campgrounds to ourselves. Didn’t see another person until the next morning when a Ranger came by to check in on us and make sure we’d paid our fees for the evening. I could see this place being busy during the summer season, but still should be ample space to spread out. Turns out, we camped on the pad that the Fish & Game folks setup on during the summer. Certainly app reactivated their level pad and electrical hookup.
Multiple different locations with pit toilets, though one area just north of us was blocked off at the time.
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!

GuideYou just have to get out and explore. We had to park at the Sawmill portion of the campground, due to the size of our motorhome at 38’. Would have loved to be able to stay at the main area, but this worked well for us. Plenty of room. The river ran right outside our window. Follow the road into Shoshone National Forest for some spectacular views of the valley. There is also a lake, can’t remember the name, up on top of the mountains, offers dispersed camping along with a bunch of cows, along the lake shore, or you can bring your kayak and just cruise the lake at an easy entry. Sinks Canyon State Park offers a number of trails for hiking and we enjoyed the ones we had time to go on. Trails by the main campground, by the Visitor Center, and across from Sawmill going up the hillside. Lots to do. Lots of fun for the kids and the parents. Now that we know, looking forward to heading back.
During the 2020 season, the state of Wyoming has requested reservations for every stay.
LegendNot much to say about this place. There are 60 RV sites. Not much shade. But the sites are level and the have water electric and sewer. Bathroom/shower/laundry was clean, but the showers are pay showers. WiFi but no cable
Traveler
Stayed right at the lake for one night with my small RV. No hookups, but ok if self contained. Campspots are spread apart enough that running generators from other campers ( it was a hot day) weren’t to noisy.
GuideThis is an amazing property. We stayed one night along the back fence. There were a few open sites all with 30 amp, and two with 50 amp. There was water next to the electric and a dump station on the way out. The owners invited us up onto the porch of the house where we also met the caretaker and other campers.
It is 20 minutes outside Riverton, WY for any fuel, groceries, food etc.
