Beartrap Meadow County Park

Situated a serene 25-30 minute drive from Casper, nestled amidst the beauty of a mountain adorned with picturesque switchbacks, this campground offers a unique sense of seclusion not often found in locations closer to town. 

Beartrap stands out because it is one of the few campgrounds in the Casper region that is more secluded and has a great mountain feel. As with any popular site, celebratory gatherings are not uncommon. For a more tranquil experience, I recommend considering a midweek visit during the delightful seasons of Spring and Fall, steering clear of the busier summer period.

A notable aspect of this campground is its consistently well-maintained restroom facilities, reflecting a dedication to cleanliness and visitor satisfaction. The diverse array of sites caters perfectly to all kinds of camping preferences, whether it's the convenience of pull trailers and RVs or the more adventurous tent-campers. The expanse of the grounds also offers ample space for families with children and four-legged companions to play.

Very beautiful area. Lots of shade. Some pull through sites with picnic table and fire ring. Quiet and nice.

Noise complaints are common. It is one of just a few campgrounds with facilities in the Casper area, so parties do happen often. My advice, avoid weekends if possible, and go in the Spring and Fall, avoid summer. Less people, less bugs, and just overall much more enjoyable. Bathrooms are always clean and kept up. Sites are great for pull trailers, RVs, and tent-campers equally. Lots of room to run around if you have kids and/or pets. Beartrap Meadow is a beautiful place. Please keep it clean, leave no trace.

It feels like a municipal campground close to a town, so I was worried about rowdy weekend activities. There was some loud music for an hour or so, but it was just a wedding at one of the pavilions, so hard to be too upset about that.

Some great views and the sites were spaced pretty well. Not complete privacy, but mostly because the thinning out of trees, not because of close quarters.

Bathrooms were clean. Verizon cell service was good. 

Our site had a fire ring and a picnic table and was pull through.

Don’t understand the need to blast music throughout the campsites. Multiple house parties up here. Trees were carved up with initials...did not feel aligned with this place seems more like a place to party than appreciate nature....

Awesome camping on Casper Mountain. 15 minutes to town makes it convenient. The camp sites are always kept up well.

We really enjoyed camping at Casper Mountain. We specifically stayed at the Bear Trap campground. You have plenty of room to put your tent and keep it far from your cooking area.

We camped out at Beartrap with another family from church. I have never camped here, and was surprised at how nice it was, even though it was really busy. All of the campsites were occupied, but it was never loud, with the exception of a couple of dogs in the middle of the night. We were allowed to have a fire, so we made a nice one in the fire pit, and grilled up some burgers and dogs. A great thing about this campground is that most, if not all, of the campsites have water. The bathrooms are really nice compared to most campsite restrooms. I mean, it is still just a hole in the ground, but it didn't stink like others that I have encountered. The campsites are roomy, but only a few are flat enough to set up our rooftop tent. I would recommend this site if you are looking for a fun place to relax :)
