Best Tent Camping near Shoshoni, WY

We tent camp and did site 20… it is on the river feet from our tent… loved hearing the river

We tent camped here for one night. We had to park a little ways away from where our site was, but it was so sweet and tucked away next to the rushing river we loved it!

The bathrooms are primitive but clean, though can be full of flies.

It's a gorgeous place to pitch your tent.

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.

It was a very disappointing.. We reserved a tent site which was so small my tent did not fit the space!! There was no shade and parking spot was bigger than the tent spot!! The owner was very nice and gave me a full refund and was also willing to move me or help me to find another spot in town..

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

Basic sites, both drive through and back in, as well as several tent sites. Each site has picnic table and fire pit. Essentially just boondocking for $32.25 a night. Pay station takes credit cards. On the plus side, it is next to a lake and the surrounding scenery (sagebrush country) is nice, like many BLM areas. Good Verizon connectivity.

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.

Easy to get to and private campsite. A little circular dirt parking area was a good spot for us to setup our trailer for the night. There is enough space for multiple RV's or tent camping. There are no amenities but great views and privacy. There is no Verizon cell phone service and TONS of broken glass and there is ample room if you want to setup a tent, but there is debris in the area. Don't let this deter you from this FREE campsite as there is tons to see and do. You can hike up bluffs and walk through the old 1880's coal mining town. We would stay at this location again as its very convenient to get to if in route out west.

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.

Overnight with a small camper. Extremely beautiful location. No amenities. The site is a very small, dirt lot where you can park a camper or set up a tent in the grassland. Extremely beautiful sagebrush and very interesting rock formations! My 4 year old loved playing in the mud puddles… and collecting shiny spent cartridges… while we leveled the camper. Mosquitos up the wazoo after the recent rain. Two trails come off the dirt lot.

We are sharing the site with a small group (3-4) in a tent and there is a camper van who parked off the road down a ways.

There are lots of campsites at Boysen State Park. I called the phone number and talked to a nice ranger. She suggested Upper Wind River campsite since we did not have boat and wanted to have a nice tent spot. We camped 1 week before site changed from reservation to FF. We planned on staying 2 nights but it was so relaxing we ended up staying 4. 1 day we went to Marina and swim beach. Another day we went to Thermopolis and checked out Dino museum and hot springs. Last day we just hung around camp and relaxed. Campsite had a park for kids. No showers but plenty of water so we set up privacy tent and we’re able to shower when we wanted. If we were there during peak season I bet it would feel a little crowded but was perfect the time of year we went because there were maybe 10 sites filled out of the 80ish there.

Small quaint campground en route to many other parks in Wyoming. Great stopping point with plenty of privacy. The majority of the campgrounds are fairly small however they back up to the Middle Popo Agie River which provides a relaxing environment.

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.

Reservation is mandatory in summer. Spot 25, 26, 27 and 28 are directly next to the playground. Waterpump available, non-flush-toilets, no running water. Every space has a parking spot, tent spot, fire ring and picnic table. Costs: $28 for a night as non-resident

This site has multiple campgrounds. You have to reserve them online through Reserveamerica.com, and it is NOT an easy site to navigate. Otherwise, we were driving through & this was an excellent spot for the kids to cool off in the water & spend the night. There were trees for some shade. It has vault toilets & a water pump. Campsite has a nice tent pad, firering, & picnic table. There were bugs, but we were not bothered by mosquitoes. Sunset & sunrise were beautiful!
