Hiking, rock climbing on limestone cliffs, and fishing along the Popo Agie River give campers plenty of reason to base here. Sawmill Campground sits just inside Sinks Canyon State Park, roughly six miles from places to camp near Lander, with around six sites running directly alongside the river. Each site includes a fire ring, picnic table, and parking spot. Sites near the playground are numbered 25 through 28. Reservations are required in summer, and the campground is open year-round at $10 per night for Wyoming residents. Vault toilets and a hand pump provide the facilities. RVs are limited to 24 feet. The Sinks Campground — Sinks Canyon State Park and Popo Agie Campground lie further up the canyon with electric hookups if you need them.
