The Best Camping Near Wheatland, Wyoming

Has trees and the road around the reservoir is gravel but not bad.   The water level is low so muddy walking out to the shore.  Beautiful!  Windy some of the time.  Only a few campers.  Loved it!

Dry camping on the shore.

Beautiful place, real authorized camping there. Nice view on the reservoir, however pretty popular among locals so don’t expect to be alone there. 

Great free campground 

I was here last year in late July. The water level is much higher right now so there is less land to camp on, but there are still spots. It is mostly quiet, the reservoir is beautiful and the sun rises and sunsets are gorgeous

Absolutely beautiful

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.
