    Hot Springs

    $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.

    Eagle RV Park

    Convenient, shady, clean bathrooms with good showers, polite, helpful staff

    We usually prefer disbursed but needed power for AC with temps in the 90s.   They have nice shady spots with picnic tables and full service (water, power, sewer).  Bathrooms are clean with adequate # toilet stalls for number of people.  The RV park was full and no issues with neighbors.  Only potential downside is it's right off the highway and a bit noisy but that's Par for the course of most RV parks in towns/cities in my experience.

    Eagle RV Park

    Reasonable for non-electric

    With the only RV park in town, I was skeptical of a price gouging. $30 for non-electric/ no water. Amazing! One partially shaded site was available - the clerk let us pick. Fire ring available to have a fire. Woman’s Bathroom is clean & quaintly updated with fresh paint & cheery shower curtain. Laundry facilities & outdoor washing area (could be used for getting water). Grassy dog area complete with poop bags, shovel & rake.

    Disappointed

    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.

    Fountain of Youth RV Park

    Great spot, but not fancy

    Fountain 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.

    Fountain of Youth RV Park

    Hot Spring Pools

    Open camp-sites (very little shade).  Water, sewer, and electric hook-ups available.  Flush toilets and coin operated showers.  Garbage bins. The hot spring fountain and pools were amazing!!!  Thermopolis was a friendly community with lots of fun things to do!  We took in the dinosaur museum, and it was great!  We were there in the middle of the week, and there were quite a few sites available.

    We suggest you take in the Scenic Byway through Wind River Canyon just South of Thermopolis - it's amazing!

Located in the Bighorn Basin at 4,300 feet elevation, Thermopolis experiences dry summers with daytime temperatures in the 80s-90s and cold winters with nighttime lows frequently below freezing. Several campgrounds maintain cabins open year-round with heating systems to accommodate winter visitors.

What to do

Hot springs soaking: Fountain of Youth RV Park features a 1600 sq ft natural mineral hot springs pool for guests. "A great place to hang out and relax in central Wyoming," reports one visitor who has "stayed here quite often over the past 30 years or so and thouroly enjoyed soaking for hours in enormous pools there."

Historic sites: Visit petroglyphs near Thermopolis, accessible from several area campgrounds. "The petroglyphs were some of the best I have seen," shares one camper staying at Eagle RV Park, adding that the "owners were very knowledgable about attractions nearby."

What campers like

Natural mineral pools: The therapeutic mineral waters remain the primary draw for visitors to Fountain of Youth RV Park. "Hot pools are great! $10/person. The park does have WiFi and staff are very friendly. Convenient location near Hot Springs State Park," notes one visitor who used a day pass for the hot pools.

Clean facilities: Cabin guests appreciate well-maintained bathroom facilities. At Eagle RV Park, visitors consistently mention cleanliness: "Showers and bathrooms were very clean. Reasonably priced," reports one camper. Another adds that the "bathroom is clean & quaintly updated with fresh paint & cheery shower curtain."

Riverside location: Several cabins offer views of the Bighorn River. "Campground is right on the river surrounded by mountains," explains one Fountain of Youth visitor, providing convenient fishing access for guests staying in riverside accommodations.

What you should know

Train proximity: The railroad tracks run adjacent to some properties. A Fountain of Youth camper warns: "What they don't tell you is that the train runs about ten feet away from some of the sites. We woke up at one point with the train shaking the ground at about 3:30 in the morning."

Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be unreliable in the Thermopolis area. A visitor to Fountain of Youth RV Park notes "WiFi is inconsistent, no real cell coverage" which can affect planning and communication during your stay.

Seasonal considerations: Water services may be limited during winter months at certain properties. At Tough Creek Campground, campers reported different procedures after peak season: "We visited after the end of the season and just paid on entry," indicating reduced staffing and services.

Tips for camping with families

Budget-friendly activities: Free outdoor recreation opportunities exist within walking distance of most cabins. "Close walk to the downtown area," mentions a Ten Broek visitor, allowing families to explore local shops and restaurants without additional transportation costs.

Bring own entertainment: Limited amenities for children at some properties means families should pack games and activities. "Not a lot of availability to walk other than in campground," notes one visitor about pet-friendly areas, suggesting similar limitations for children's play spaces.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing concerns: RV sites at some properties position units very close together. A camper at The Crippled Spider Campground appreciated how their sites are "well-maintained" with "71 spacious spots" that provide more separation than other nearby options where "your neighbor's sewer hookup is nearly in your site."

Extended stay discounts: Longer bookings at certain properties qualify for reduced rates. Crippled Spider Campground offers "15% off for bookings over 7 days" for cabin guests and RVers planning extended visits to explore the region thoroughly.

Supply availability: Limited shopping options mean bringing essentials from larger towns. "Ice in the red barn for two bucks" at Ten Broek RV Park represents the limited supplies available on-site, so stock up on groceries and camping needs before arriving in Thermopolis.
