Lodgepole Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Rough access roads lead to this forested BLM campground where lodgepole pines provide natural shade and screening between sites. Most sites accommodate multiple tents alongside fire rings and picnic tables. Clean restrooms and drinking water serve the small number of developed sites, though pets are not permitted.

Campers report quiet conditions despite the proximity to Casper, with easy walking trails accessible directly from the campground. Views extend toward Muddy Mountain from elevated positions. Fishing opportunities exist nearby, with one visitor noting good water conditions. The Rim Campground sits less than half a mile northeast for those preferring different amenities.

Fee Info

$7.00/night and $3.00/night for extra vehicle for camping. Access Pass and Senior Pass Holders receive half off camping rates. Cash or check is accepted.
