Best Campgrounds near Ten Sleep, WY

385 Reviews

Camping near Ten Sleep, Wyoming ranges from shaded sites to spots with mountain views. South Fork Campground connects directly to hiking trails and looks out over the Bighorn Mountains. Lakeview Campground has trees that block the summer sun and puts campers close to fishing and swimming spots. At Tie Hack Campground, the sites sit farther apart, giving campers more room and quiet than at more crowded places. Most people camp here from late May through early October when the weather stays mild enough for comfortable nights. July and August can get pretty hot during the day, so bring extra water and something for shade. Some hardy campers visit in winter, but you'll need serious cold-weather gear and a way to handle snow. Each camping area has something different going for it - quieter spots, better views, or easier trail access. The fishing is good throughout the area, and the hiking trails work for both short walks and longer treks.
