Best Campgrounds near Wheatland, WY

Camped at site #6 for a few nights in early September 2024. Site #6 was set back from campground road. Level. Perfect site for campervan. Wooded. Dirt/gravel driveway and picnic area. Picnic table, grill, metal fire ring. Large "backyards" behind sites. Short walk to one of 2 single vault toilets. Campground has a hand water pump. Sites are well separated, providing a some privacy. Access to Sunset Hill hiking trail. Campground road is gravel and ends in a loop. Campground is very quiet and peaceful. Only a few other campers here during our stay. Did receive T-Mobile data service. The road approaching the campground from the east is a little rough in places. Wonderful campground; would stay here again.

We stayed overnight. When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to out our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! It looked like it was an apocalypse film with the critters. We moved our tent far away from the tree they were on and were able to set up shop. The facilities were okay, the lake was beautiful! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don’t mind ants and buggy critters.

Staff is extremely friendly. I took a shower immediately upon arrival and it was not a good experience. There were 3 stalls for women with no shower curtains covering each stall. Only 1 stall actually worked (barely). It took up to 7 minutes for the water to get warm and the pressure was a trinkle at best. I could not wash my hair because I would never get the soap out. Parking pad is dirt and weeds. Limited picnic tables. No fire pits. No propane. The train is across the road and loud horns. The last train we heard was 10p and it rain approximately every 40 minutes. Cash only to pay for site-$45 for 30 amp. The sunset was beautiful.

A great place for a night or two on your road trip. Gravel parking area with water and electric hoop up. $17 for electric and $34 for water and electric. The plug-in is at the front of the site, so our cord did not reach if we backed the camper (33ft) and truck all the way in. The shower house is nothing fancy but was clean (aside from all of the mosquitoes). Staff were very friendly.

There were wrecked cars at the edge of the water, both sides of the “lake” are not much bigger than a pond. 

We left and drove on!

It is a nice camps spot, a bit exposed and a bit buggy by big e and had a nice vein of the lake and cliffs.

We stayed here one night on our way home from a long trip.  Potable water is avail close to the latrines if needed.  When we got to our site, BH-15, but we were confused b/c there was no pull through, carve out or any other markings other than a sign that said BH-15.  Many other campers just put their rigs wherever they wanted.  Our site had ankle deep weeds throughout.  4 dumpsters were actually overflowing with garbage and smelled awful.  The latrines were in as bad of a shape as the dumpsters, flies and filth everywhere.   We've stayed at many WY state parks and this was the worst.  Will not be back.  I'd rather Walmart 'camp'.

This spot was quite. There no hook ups … while we where there, the area had a lot of rain that kinda cause a bit more wet than the normal. Great MTB and hiking trail. They even offer archery, 3d targets and archery range. This is at the ranger headquarters. The reservoir is massive so boat or your fun floating gadgets-you will have fun.

Plenty of spots around the water. Lots of trees for shade. I spent a restful 2 nights. There are large fish (about a foot long or more) that splash along the shoreline. A few bow fishermen were there to try their luck.

Spots are just off the highway but it was quiet, pull through parking lot with no trees. Clean bathrooms, coin showers and laundry right across the street. We didn’t need the hook ups, just pulled in and out early next morning. It worked great for us!

Is a decent place to stay. Downside is that it's a 5 day limit but atleast its free. We stayed during the Labor day weekend and wasn't too bad. Someone even had a personal Helicopter which was cool to watch. Water isn't clear but it was still nice to swim in during the heat.

Soldier Camp has 12 hard to get to sites with some lake views. There are loops with campsites and some off road. It’s primitive with benches, fire rings, and vaulted toilets. This area is partially shaded and has good water access

Red Hills campground is right after waters point. This area is primitive with benches and fire rings. This area is very pretty as the sand and hills are red. There are some amazingly beautiful lake views. There Are 22 sites and 2 toilets in this campground.

Waters Point is a small primitive campground with 12 tent sites, vault toilets and bench and fire pits but there is a fire ban at the moment. Not the prettiest area but not on top of each other.

Colter Bay campground is a very small campground with 12 sites. These sites are primitive and have 1 vault bathroom. Sites are not on top of each other so this area is peaceful
