What to do
Fly fishing opportunities: Doyle Creek Campground offers access to a stream suitable for fly fishing. As Kailey A. notes, "There is a stream for good fly fishing and we always see a bunch of wildlife!" The creek provides good conditions for anglers of various skill levels.
Explore scenic trails: Ten Sleep RV Park serves as a convenient base for outdoor activities. According to Tim R., "It's perfect for a stop before or after exploring the Bighorns and Ten Sleep Canyon." The nearby trails accommodate hikers of all experience levels with routes ranging from easy walks to challenging climbs.
Visit local attractions: When staying at Ten Broek RV Park, visitors can explore the nearby town. Kathy C. mentions, "Park is on edge of town—great location." Many campers appreciate being able to walk to local establishments, with some sites within half a mile of dining options.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Ten Broek RV Park maintains well-kept bathroom and shower areas. According to natalie S., "Very clean restroom and shower facilities. Laundry facilities are a little dated but worked." The campground also offers practical amenities like laundry services.
Shade coverage: Several campgrounds feature tree coverage that campers appreciate during summer months. Anthony B. describes Ten Sleep RV Park: "This campground is in a grove of trees with the sites along dirt roads in the grove. Each site has water, sewage, and electric." The shade helps maintain comfortable temperatures during hot days.
Spacious sites: The Crippled Spider Campground offers room to spread out. Amy A. shares, "The ranch has 71 spacious spots, including full and partial hookups for RVs, and plenty of space for dry camping." This allows campers to maintain privacy while still enjoying communal areas.
What you should know
Limited cell service: Connectivity can be spotty throughout the region. Tim R. mentions about Ten Sleep RV Park: "No T-Mobile service." Visitors should plan accordingly and download maps or information before arrival.
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds in the area have limited operating seasons. Ten Broek RV Park operates from "April 1 to November 1" while Doyle Creek Campground has an even shorter season from "June 10 to September 5." Winter camping options are extremely limited in this region.
Access road conditions: Roads to some trailheads and camping areas may present challenges. Shannon T. notes about Battle Park Trailhead: "The road getting to the camp was pretty good but can get pretty rutted up at times. The road in is also really long and narrow in some spots, which makes two-way traffic difficult."
Tips for camping with families
Horse-friendly options: For families with equestrian interests, several campgrounds cater specifically to horse owners. Shannon T. explains that Battle Park Trailhead "is primarily a horse camp. There are several corrals and high lines as well as a horse water trough fed by a nearby creek. There is also ample parking for horse trailers."
Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. Teresa H. shares about Doyle Creek Campground: "Lot of space which you may share with a wandering cow from rangeland. We loved it here. Beautiful country with room to wander after dinner with the dogs!"
On-site activities: Some locations offer activities right at the campground. At Ten Sleep RV Park, Kimberly L. notes it is "right in the little town of Tensleep with a couple restaurants/bars and evening entertainment (when I stayed on a weekend, there was live music playing right down the road)."
Tips from RVers

Site layouts: Some campgrounds have unique configurations that affect RV parking. Anthony B. describes Ten Sleep RV Park: "This campground is in a grove of trees with the sites along dirt roads in the grove." Understanding the layout helps when selecting an appropriate site for your rig size.
