Ring Lake RV and Tent Site

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Quiet enough in mid-August that campers report uncrowded conditions, Ring Lake RV and Tent Site sits directly on a small lake in the Whiskey Basin area outside Dubois, managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Getting there requires driving an unpaved road, and at least one reviewer flags it as a notable climb. The road surface is reportedly smooth enough that ground clearance is not a concern, even for larger rigs.

Sites sit at the water's edge, with open sightlines across the lake. Vault toilets are the only on-site amenity, but the campground does include bear boxes and developed fire pits at some sites. Fishing draws a number of visitors. Bugs and mosquitoes run heavy, so bug spray is worth packing. Cell service is limited in this area.

Whiskey Basin WMA - Torrey Creek and Trail Lake Dispersed Sites are both close by, giving campers options for dispersed or alternative sites in the same basin. Whiskey Basin WMA - Trail Meadow sits a few miles southwest for those wanting a slightly different setting.

Kirsten L. describes the site as "lake side with beautiful views," and the layout backs that up. The campground works well for anglers, RV travelers comfortable with dirt roads, and tent campers who do not need hookups or developed facilities.

Ring Lake

Quiet, nice views. I didn’t use the toilets so I can’t comment on those. Make sure you have bug spray, the bugs+ mosquitoes are bad.

Amazing

If your looking for a quiet peaceful spot with a breathtaking view, you’re at the perfect place. If you want the luxury of “keep it simple” you will find it there. Great fishing spot. Pit toilets. Only “negative” point is the unpaved road up the mountain.
