CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Nice but close to others

Nice but close to others. Not sure if there are more spots up the road or not. Would be good if camping with others as there are multiple sites in one pull off.

Overnight stay just before the thunderstorm storm

We planned to stay for at least couple of nights but following morning after with beautiful sunshine, clouds gathered and viscus thunderstorm arrived from nowhere. Blowed our seat cushions away to nearby creek, which had pretty strong flow and current. It started to feel unsafe and we quickly packed and left. It was a shame as the site and location was very nice.

Great views, fills up quick, no cell service

The camping spots are immaculate and there are plenty to choose from (hypothetically) however, I arrived at 3:30pm on a tuesday and there were barely any spots left. The cell service for verizon at the campsite was also terrible, i hiked about a mile around and up the mountain for two bars to text family but nothing at camp. Bathrooms are okay, better than nothing ! The road is also hard on cars, especially 2WD but it is possible!

Wild Iris with a view!

Road in is in good shape. Sites are fairly large and we were able to find one with our 39ft fifth wheel without a problem! When you get the the hiking parking lot/bathroom, stay left. Great views of the quarry and surrounding valleys. Verizon cell signal is decent, was able to stream movie at night with light much delay. My husband worked during the day on his hotspot, only had a little interference when heavy clouds moved in later in the day.

City Park Camping

This is a pretty great setup! Camping in the City Park is FREE and limited to 3 days. This place gets busy during festivals which occur with some regularity on the summer weekends. I'd check beforehand unless that's the reason you're there! There is a area for trailers. Tents can be pitched on the lawn area. It's a park with nice lawns which are watered regularly so there is the sprinkler obstacle.

Flush toilets are available and water. The park has a volleyball area and horseshoe pits. There are covered picnic areas. No fires allowed, but there are grill available for cooking.

Great place, close to adventure with town amenities readily available!

A Climbers Paradise!

I visit Wild Iris frequently! They have amazing limestone sport routes in a variety of skill levels. The campground is along a severely rutted road, but are level and in the trees along the OK Corral Crag. The area has a well marked trail system to point you in the direction of different walls along the crag.

Each campsite offers a metal bear boxes to store your food items. There story is, there was a black bear who broke into someone's camper and ate their waffles. So there is a bear named Waffles in the area! There is established rock fire rings. Pit toilets at the parking area for The Main Wall area. Tons of trees and more climbing than one can do in a lifetime! And it is FREE!

We visit several times a year! Check out the International Climbing Festival that is hosted in July each year!

Wild Iris Camground

Bears are present, please be vigilant with your food and smelly goods.

Campsites are dispersed. Some have firepits and tent pads built. All accessible with a 2WD car. Amazing views, but still warm in September. Great climbing location also.

City Park Camping

I have determined that Lander WY is the friendliest city in America... plus, they let you camp for FREE up to three nights in their city (town) park. There are restrooms with flushing toilets and running water. Nice soft green grass to set your tent up in. I recommend getting a burger from the Lander Bar when you visit!

There are picnic shelters, horseshoe pits and lots of trees.

And sprinklers... be aware, you might get a wet tent (see video)
