Best Tent Camping near Worland, WY

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.

They had an annual event with live music, and tons of people when we stayed, but we didn't mind the sound at all. Such a view of stars to sleep to, and amazing red rock cliff to wake up to. Was $18 per night for the tent site.

We stayed here for just a night. Our spot was in the lower loop, as we were just tent camping. The campsite overall is wonderfully kept; tables are newly painted, the area is very clean, and each site is maintained well. Our site was also right next to the lake, which was beautiful. We saw many people fishing on the lake. There are very few trees between sites however, so there isn’t very much privacy.

I was lucky to find one of the sites that did not require a reservation available (only 2 tent sites are available this way). There is no reception here so quickly making an online reservation is not an option.

This campground has spacious sites for tents. I stayed on one of the sites on the ledge just above the water. The toilets are clean and the campground host is a great guy.

At 32.25 dollars it is definitely not the cheapest state park, but the location makes it worth it.

Would recommend

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.

Lake View lives up to it’s name. We had a beautiful view of the small lake and the mountains behind. Access to the lake is by walking a distance or going out to the highway and driving a short distance to the boat ramp which is about 1/10 of a mile. The boat ramp is also a day use fee area with a pit toilet. 

Directions: From Ten Sleep, WY take Highway 16 for about 21.3 miles, turn right at the campground sign

Better than when ypu found it

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.

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.

We stayed here 2 years ago. That is our test. Would we be back? The answer was yes. So, here we are in site #4. Staff is super friendly. Cute downtown, with health food store & brewery. Hot Springs State Park close. Recommend the free state mineral pools. Grocery store, dollar store and liquor store just a couple of blocks. Fast food within walking distance.

PROS:

• Each site is pull thru sites, each with direct access from the main road.
• Each site has a small concrete patio, table and small grill with beautiful grass.
• Sites are gravel, except tent sites wich is beautiful lush grass.
• Shower house with 2 stalls for toilet and showers ( see video). A little dated, but super clean.
• Easy check-in
• Reasonable cost for full hookups.
• Convenient to everything
• Laundromat less than 1 block $2 wash.
• very good WIFI

CONS:

• Right on the main road, but road noise was not bad.
• Sites are close together
• Bathrooms are a little dated, but clean.

August 8-14, 2019 Our truck slowed to a crawl in the middle of nowhere. We were blessed by having the Sherriff stop and advise us to go back to Worland rather than going forward into a very challenging ride through the mountains. We creeped back to Worland and were stunned by how friendly and helpful everyone was. We ended up at the Worland RV Park and Campground where the customer service was off the charts. The park was VERY clean. Site 6 had water, electric and sewer. They have a dump station, showers, flush toilets and laundry room. In the office, they have RV supplies and home made quilts, etc. We will be forever grateful for their great customer service. Verizon 4G and wifi with a good signal. Elevation 4,076 ft. They can accommodate all size RVs. TDC Diesel did a great job repairing our truck. See more details in RV Camping Journal.

This park is very well ran it is quite and clean FHU’s with great water all of the water in Worland comes from an artesian well. The power was very good and stable. We had 50 amp both legs showing 120volts. Stores are within walking distance,there is a museum across the road. The management are extremely helpful and very nice. The sites are close with good shade, ours was level with a picnic table at each site. Our AT&T was strong we could stream, Sprint was full bars with a MIMO. The park has WiFi we didn’t use it don’t know how good it is. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our two night stay in the tent only section of the campground. Sites were well spaced that provided a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. All were walk-in. Water available. Pit toliet. Helpful camp host.

We have stayed here quite often over the past 30 years or so and thouroly enjoyed soaking for hours in enormous pools there .

A great place to hang out and relax in central Wyoming.

Beautiful Spot. We stayed one night in the RV loop (with a car and tent) and it was quiet and spacious and the vault toilet was clean. Many of the sites had a view of the lake. Then after a few days backpacking we returned to the tent only loop and it was a bit more cramp and not a lot of privacy, but overall a nice Forest campground in a beautiful spot! The lake offered a bit of breeze and kept the bugs down compared to some of the bugs in other area campgrounds.

This is a nice spot when traveling through Wyoming. The sites could use a little upgrading that’s why I didn’t give it a 5-star rating. The bathrooms were clean, the showers and laundromat are coin operated, and there a full hook-ups for each site. The Mineral Pool is Awesome. Staff very friendly.

campground is a little rustic and at a high elevation. best part of the week was watching happy tourist pitch a tent and leave after freezing to death at night.

Small but beautiful campground located in the Bighorn Mtns of Wyoming. Off hwy 16 a little ways this campground is big on scenery if not amenities. Although tree covered they are rocky and small. However the equestrian area at the back has some beautiful spots.

Very nice camp host and beautiful campground. A little spendy for what they had to offer us. We ended up not staying because it was $30 for us to park in gravel in the middle of their lot. The cabins and tents looked really nice but were booked up for the night.
