Bighorn National Forest

Overview

Boulder Park Campground is located about 50 miles east of Worland, Wyoming on the west side of scenic Cloud Peak Skyway, near the Cloud Peak Wilderness area. The Bighorn National Forest offers a wide variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, scenic driving and a number of historic sites. The administering organization is Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds; e-mail: gccampgrounds13@gmail.com

Recreation

Off-road vehicle trails, scenic jeep roads, hiking and additional fishing streams are available in the surrounding area. Diverse hikes vary from loop trails to treks along creeks and over mountain peaks; many trails access the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Meadowlark Lake is within a couple miles of the campground. This small lake allows motorized craft at a wake-less speed. West Tensleep Lake, a few miles north of the campground, is open to non-motorized craft only. Both lakes are great locations for canoeing and fishing.

The campground sits on the banks of West Tensleep Creek in an open meadow surrounded by a forest of lodgepole pine. Many lakes and streams are found in the surrounding Bighorn Mountains.

Open June close Sep 

Limit 14 days 

Reserve: 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov 

Sites: 32 single sites 

Host on site picnic table fire ring lantern pole water trash 

Some sites are close together with some more private, some are shady and some no shade at all. There small boulders scattered around the site and with the beginnings of the fall colors beginning to turn beautiful. There is a small creek that runs along the back side of some of the sites. 

The road and sites are covered with gravel. Drive slow to keep the dust down. 

This is a very peaceful site and great to enjoy all the Bighorn has to offer. You will find off road trails, scenic jeep roads and hiking trails. Meadow Lark Lake is a short distance from the campground. The nearest dump station is 15 miles at Powder River Pass.  Watch for the majestic moose wandering around the campground.

Quiet and Clean

This is a well maintained campground tucked away in the Bighorns. Our experience was very pleasant, quiet, and slept next to the rushing waters of the creek. Seen three moose while we were here!

Clean, Quiet and Convenient

Stayed here for 3 nights in July of 2019. Convenient location for the hikes we were doing and not too far from the west or east entrance to the park. Arguably the cleanest vault toilet I have ever seen. The campground host took pride in maintaining the place. Went in Mid-July, the campground was probably at 2/3rds capacity and we didn't have any neighbors on either side which was very nice. Warm during the day and cool at nights. 

10-sleep is just a short drive away for gas and food and most importantly a spectacularly Wyoming brewery.

Family friendly camping

For $17 a night, try and get a site right on Tensleep Creek. Sites are pretty, and private-ish with lots of trees (some good for hammocking, some not). Everything was really well maintained to the point of everything looking new. All the usual amenities of picnic tables and fire pits and grills, PLUS there are pretty awesome prep tables for cooking and a lantern pole at each site, with super clean vault toilets where the camphosts have set pots of flowers to improve the setting. I suggest getting a site on the backside of the loop away from the road. The campground hosts were great, checking on campers a couple of times in the early evening and again in the morning. They rolled around in their golf cart stocked with firewood for sale so you didn’t have to hike back to the top of the hill to get your wood. There are some great family activities areas in the campground with horseshoes, cornhole, and other games set up in a central activities area.
