Best Campgrounds near Ten Sleep, WY

This wasn’t our first stay at Deer Park Campground (CG), but it was our first time arriving from the west. We took the first Buffalo exit, which matched up with both RV Life and Waze GPS directions, and easily made our way to the CG. Check-in was quick and smooth. We were guided to premium pull-through site 104. There’s not much “premium”  about this gravel site—aside from its generous 80-foot length, which was more than enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F-450. The site included a picnic table, and the utilities were centered on the pad. We were able to position ourselves well between the two black tank dump outlets. Water pressure was decent at around 40 psi, and the 50 AMP electric service worked without issue. However, the grass was in desperate need of mowing. Right after we arrived, one of the workers began mowing the sites behind us. Those sites weren't filled the two nights we stayed. Since we had reservations, and they knew which site they were putting us in, it would have been nice if they had mowed the sites that were actually filled. We had two bars on Verizon and four bars on T-Mobile. While there are mature trees throughout the CG, satellite reception should be possible at most sites—especially if you can adjust your antenna. There are several “Deer Run” WiFi networks available. I connected to the first one I saw and got a surprising 279 Mbps upload and 119 Mbps download—an enormous improvement since our last visit about two years ago. Our T-Mobile hotspot also performed well, clocking in at 125 Mbps upload and 22.6 Mbps download. Sites are decently spaced, offering a bit of breathing room between neighbors. You can hear I-90 from the CG, but it’s far enough away that the noise isn’t bothersome. One of our favorite features was the nature trail near the front of the CG—about a half-mile loop—where we spotted several deer. A peaceful walk and a nice touch to the stay. We noticed that while the price per night has increased by $20 since we stayed in site 105 in September 2021, the facilities and the grounds haven't changed.

This is an immaculate, well maintained rv park/ campground. When we came through in early May all the federal campgrounds in the area were still closed. This campground was very much appreciated. Don’t let first impressions fool you. We paid 33 per night (possibly off season?) for a shaded, electric only, pull through, level site. They do offer FHU sites too. WiFi is available, but you are asked not to stream. TMobile service great. Reasonably priced, clean, efficient laundry. HOT, clean showers. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They know their area and love to help with visitor information. The newer section of the campground is NOT shaded and the sites are close. There are tent sites on grass, but they are close together and on the main entrance. We were there in May, sugar beet processing time. The whole town smelled very bad periodically.

This was an incredible camp site. Walking down to the cave and along the ridges without lot of other people around is certainly a positive. Definitely my favourite place in my month travelling around the area. 4x4 or AWD is highly recommended as there is ~6 miles of off-road trail. Getting here you pass a lot of “No Trespassing” sign that almost makes you feel like a real outlaw. Like another review had said the GPS (or google maps) will try to direct you across private property. If you continue along the road you will find signs that help direct you where you’re allowed to go. See the photos for the proper route
