  Gebo Road - Thermopolis

  Remote, Historical, a little eerie!

  We camped here in early October. The skeletal remains of the buildings were on private property, however the roads and such were on BLM land so we parked right across from the buildings and set up the Truck Camper. There’s a plaque that explains the history of the town up the road from the buildings, and just beyond that a ways is the cemetery. It was sad to see all the graves as they were children and infants who died from the Spanish Flu or Diptheria. One gentleman we ran in to said the town wasn’t merely bulldozed but also buried! We had fun walking around and camping there for the night. There were no sounds! It was VERY quiet! No birds, crickets, insects, or wildlife. Just the gentle breeze, and one lone coyote at about 2 am.

  There are no toilets or water, so prepare accordingly.

  There was also a burn ban in effect so we used our portable camping stove. Make sure to check burn bans before you camp! We had so much fun, and hope other people visit too. Please be respectful of this historical relic so it can be around for as long as it can! Don’t damage your History!

  Definitely recommend 4 wheel drive to traverse this area. The roads are rocky, rutted, and worn down!

  Tough Creek Campground

  Loved it

  Beautiful spot by the lake. Large sites well away from neighbours. We visited after the end of the season and just paid on entry.

  Castle Gardens

  Amazing

  This is an amazing free BLM campground. It’s about 5 miles off of Hwy 16, gravel with occasional washboarding, but overall doable for most vehicles. We had intended to drive a bit further east before looking for a place for the night, but decided to pull off the road to check out the Castle Gardens, for which we saw a sign on the road. We didn’t even know it was a campground until we got there, and wow. What an amazing, beautiful, peaceful, quiet place. There are 4 sites in a loop, each with a shade structure, picnic table, grill, and fire pit. Spot #1 is better suited for tent campers, as you park your car along the loop and then walk a little bit up to the camp area. #2 (the one we chose) has a long driveway leading to the site, so you feel even more secluded, even though the entire campground is pretty secluded. #3 is a shorter driveway that backs to the campsite, and #4 is a pull through. None of the sites were very level. 

  There is a single vault toilet here, but otherwise no other amenities. No trash service so please keep the area clean. 14 day stay limit. Cell service is existent but iffy. Verizon went between zero service to 3 bars. Up on the hill overlooking the campground there’s good service for both ATT and Verizon. We didn’t see a single other person while we were here on a weekday in late September.

  Worland RV Park & Campground

  Right for you if…

  This is a great RV park with access to Worland and all it has to offer. If you’re in an RV it’s super convenient, very easy to find, and affordable with average size lots. Tenting wise, if you don’t have any other tent choices it’ll do, but tent sites- while cozy grass and intended to be private- were close together, between two busy lanes, somewhat distant from bathrooms/shower/laundry (which were all immaculate), and towards the front of property where highway traffic, train, and downtown noise were a factor. If you want space and quiet keep heading out of town an hour (nearly any direction) to make it to a USFS campground, but if you can’t Worland RV Park will be fine for an overnight stop. Staff was very friendly and all facilities, including WiFi, were secure also.

  Crippled Spider Ranch - A Hidden Wyoming Gem!

  We recently stayed at Crippled Spider Ranch, and it exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in the beautiful landscape near Thermopolis, Wyoming, this ranch offers a truly unique camping experience that caters to adventurers, families, and solo travelers alike.

The sites are well-maintained, and the full hookups provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. For those looking for an extended stay, they even offer 15% off for bookings over 7 days!

  Activities & Attractions: One of the best parts of Crippled Spider Ranch is the variety of activities on-site and nearby. There’s something for everyone—whether it’s hiking on the BLM land that borders the property, petting zoo visits for the kids, or even learning to ranch and milk cows! The property is also a great base for rock hounding and exploring Wyoming’s natural beauty. You can even hunt (seasonal) or target shoot, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

  For those interested in history, the ranch is near the historic Oregon Trail, and there are great opportunities for treasure hunters like metal detecting and exploring old ghost towns.

You’ll feel like family from the moment you arrive. They even offer fresh, free-range eggs from their chickens and have a fun “catch-and-cook” option if you’re into farm-to-table experiences.

  Overall Experience: Crippled Spider Ranch is the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and Wyoming charm. Whether you’re a family looking for a weekend getaway or a solo adventurer seeking peace and quiet in the great outdoors, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for more!

  Upper Wind River Campground — Boysen State Park

  Convenient for 1 night if you're traveling or fishing, otherwise no.

  Booked what looked like a decent site by the river and found it to be unusable when we arrived. I was considering just occupying a different site since the place was nearly empty. Thankfully a sheriff's vehicle was driving thru (which I mistook for a park ranger). He told me he'd try to help us get a different spot by calling the park office but on realizing that he had no cell service, he volunteered to drive to the office to see what he could get done for us. He returned after a short while with instructions for us to camp in an empty pull-through spot. We were very thankful for his help.

  The good-

  Beautiful canyon!!

  Shade from big cottonwoods (it was 97 degrees!)

  Some sites well spaced

  Vault toilet was clean and supplied

  There's good fishing there for big trout but unfortunately I was fishing this time around

  The bad-

  No cell or WIFI

  A lot of strangely laid out sites, some ridiculously close to one another and unlevel 

  Sprinklers in some areas that sprinkle your site, tent or whatever's exposed

  Highway noise is bad - in a canyon sound bounces off the walls, many trucks on the road with much use of jake brakes and to top it all off, the occasional 2AM freight train rolling by on the other side of the river

  Tough Creek Campground — Boysen State Park

  Nice and clean spot by the lake

  Stayed right at the lake for one night with my small RV. No hookups, but ok if self contained. Campspots are spread apart enough that running generators from other campers ( it was a hot day) weren’t to noisy.

  Lakeview Campground

  Beautiful lake frequented by moose.

  Stayed for just one night. Great sites and a beautiful area with plenty of trails to hike. Had a big bull moose sitting in our site upon arrival and he stayed nearby all day and night so caution with pets is recommended.

  Fountain of Youth

  Great soaking pool with extended hours. Camp host Willy was great. It is next to the highway and train tracks but that didn’t bother us because the pool was so enjoyable. Meet some great fellow campers there that come back every year. The town of Thermopolis is fun also.

  Brannon Campground — Boysen State Park

  Boondocking for a fee

  Basic sites, both drive through and back in, as well as several tent sites. Each site has picnic table and fire pit. Essentially just boondocking for $32.25 a night. Pay station takes credit cards. On the plus side, it is next to a lake and the surrounding scenery (sagebrush country) is nice, like many BLM areas. Good Verizon connectivity.

  Wyoming Gardens RV Park

  Overnight Only

  We stayed here 3 nights in our RV and rented a cabin RV for family. I will start with the rental RV. It is pretty run down with no heat, hot water for a two minute shower and a wobbly toilet. Definitely disappointing fir $85 a night. While the showers and restrooms are dated they were clean and worked well. At one point the manager was going to have a very large bus RV with slide outs next to us which would have blocked our table and grassy area. The manager said we could just sit in the front of our camp. Well after a bit of discussion he moved them to a larger slot. We were not bothered by the road noise. There are a few full time residents who were very nice. I would recommend Eagle RV down the road if you can otherwise this is good for a quick stop.

  Island Park Campground

  Nice campground, beautiful surroundings

  Pulled into spot and two moose were browsing on the stream bank in front of us. Campground was well spaced out and host very friendly. Great views and walking paths along stream with meadow on opposite side and mountains in background. Easy access about 2 miles in on graded dirt road. Only drawback was no cell service (Verizon). Not first come first serve, but in early September mid-week, there were several sites available.

  Gebo Road - Thermopolis

  Remote dispersed camping

  Was the only person there when I stayed on a Sunday night. Rough road to get out there, but my Rav4 with no 4WD made it. Will be on your right with some wooden posts around the gravel area. Felt very remote which made me a little nervous as a solo female traveler, but would be a great spot with others or as a confident solo camper.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Fountain of Youth RV PARK

  If you want Cleanliness, organization of the camp, functionality of facilities, availability of staff, provisions for toilet facilities, upkeep of grounds THEN THIS IS NOT THE PLACE THAT YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR MONEY. THE TOILETS WERE FILTHY , THERE WAS NO TOILET PAPER, THE TOILET LEAKED AT ITS BASE AFTER FLUSHING, THE GROUNDS WERE UNKEPT, OF THE FOUR LAUNDROMAT NONE FUNCTIONED . TWO OF THE FOUR SHOWERS AVAILABLE WERE IN OPERABLE, AND THE OTHERS WERE FILTHY. I had booked for two nights, but I went to the office at 10 AM and no one was there. I came back later in the afternoon and requested a cancellation of the second night, and I explained why I was leaving. I do give them credit for giving me a refund. 

  It is unfortunate that this park is in such a state of disarray as its location and pool facilities made for a an attractive setting. Due to the overall filthiness of the facilities, I did not bother to swim in the two pools that were there. I could not recommend this facility for Camping.

  Canyon Creek Road Dispersed Camping

  Solid spot

  Don’t think we found the exact spot this individual stayed at as we came up on a pay campground known as doyle, but if you drive past it and over a cow guard there is a place to park your car and more primitive dispersed like sites available. Solid views and a little away from other campers.

  Ten Sleep Brewing Company

  Camping with live music, beer, and food trucks.

  My family stayed here for a night on a long road trip around the NW of US/Canada. We booked site 1 with the intent of being on an end with privacy on at least one side. We arrived to find that there were some newly created sites on the supposed-to-be-private side of our camper. Not originally a big deal. We had a great time at the brewery which was less than 100 yards away listening to live music, eating from the food trucks (2), and sipping on beers. Coming from a craft beer heavy town, the beer here was just alright. bud did the trick! The space was very family friendly with lots of outdoor seating. There was a sandy playspace with toys for the kids. The staff was fantastic... friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, and not the fault of the brewery/site managers, the folks camped in new site # -1 ended up coming and going all night with loud rumbling vehicles pulling in and out next to us with tons of noise at 3am.... so none of us got much sleep. Being at a brewery, even with quiet hours established, one probably can't be that upset with this... comes with the territory and luck of the draw.

  Upper Wind River Campground — Boysen State Park

  too many signs!

  I had reserved site 54 through recreation.gov but at the time I thought it odd the site would not let me put in my rig size.  So I just went with it.  Mistake.  My 30 footer wouldn't begin to fit since the pull off the road is shared between 54 and 55.  I've never seen a CG where a pull through is split into 2-3 'sites'.  So I drove around the park (which was mostly empty) and in spite of the giant signs screaming RESERVATIONS REQUIRED MAY 1-SEPT 30, I parked in very large site 71 which had midday sun for my solar and some shade in the late afternoon.  Did the kiosk sign in thing and no one has bothered to check me out.  The signage here is ridiculous, even in the bathrooms - lists of fines for everything!  I guess they've had to put up with stupid, rude and inconsiderate people.  Sad.  No dump station (there's one at park HQ down the road south) but there are several water hydrants through the park.  Mosquitoes were quite annoying along with a plethora of nonbiting flying critters my dogs enjoyed hunting.  The Wind River runs along the park with a railroad on the other side.  The 2x trains a day were NOT that loud and were gone in about 3 minutes.  Road noise from the highway is moderate but most city folk won't notice it.  Fishing isn't much fun because the river bank is steep with only 3-4 sets of stairs to the water.  The birds, however, are numerous and very happy to be here.  Had a momma turkey and 8 fledglings walk up to and under my trailer!   I would stay here again but at a cooler time of year.  The frequent breezes ameliorated the heat to a survivable level.  No T Mobile here at all.

  The owners go out of their way to make your stay as nice as possible. I was requested by my Dr. to get a chest xray and needed add an additional day to my stay, the staff did everything possible to make this happen. I can't thank them enough to make my stay here great.

  Great place to relax for a couple days

  We went in the winter so traffic was super low. Mostly just us at the park so we got the 2 giant hot spring pools to ourselves. Soak in mineral rich waters up to 110 degrees in some areas. Full hookups, but no water in the winter due to frozen lines.

  North Fork Campground

  Cheap Views

  This is a fairly cheap place to stay for a night.

  The mornings are amazing as the sun hits the mountain just spectacularly.

  Firewood is free and the showers cost around $5

  This is one of many places you can stay on this road but just a few miles west to toward Yellowstone is an indian reservation. Not too many places to stop there.

  There is a dump station and some spots have just electric or just water. I think the spots with both may cost more. but it’s $10 a night for just one without the other. Tent sites are the same.

  I would have liked to stay more than one night so we could have experienced more of this beautiful area!

  We are all about primitive camping but this one was a must see.

  Shell Creek

  Bighorn Makes Big Dreams

  Bighorn National Forest is one of my all time favorites to visit in the country. Dare I say that I enjoy it more than Yellowstone? I like it better than Yellowstone, but I do prefer National Forests over National Parks. We stay one night before heading through Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Jackson Hole. This is a very good campsite for the inexperienced and experienced. We had one of the tent sites and it was lovely to wake up next to the creek. There is also great history in the area like a tornado that ripped through the area. Find the plaque that explains more about that wild phenomenon when heading towards Cody. This is a great place to stay one night or fourteen.
