Rim Campground
Rim Campground, near Casper, Wyoming, is a peaceful retreat that offers a perfect escape into nature. With spacious sites that provide a sense of privacy, it’s an ideal place for those looking to pitch a tent or park an RV while soaking in the stunning views.
The campground features vault toilets that are surprisingly well-stocked with toilet paper, which is a nice touch for campers. Visitors have noted the quiet atmosphere, with very few other campers around, making it a great spot for relaxation and enjoying the surrounding trails. As one camper mentioned, “Not very trafficked during our visit,” which adds to the charm of this secluded location.
For those eager to explore, there are hiking trails right off the campground, and if you’re heading back toward Casper, don’t miss the chance to check out Garden Creek Waterfall along the way. The drive to the campground includes some rough gravel roads, but it’s manageable for most vehicles, so don’t let that deter you.
While amenities are limited—no electric hookups or drinking water—campers appreciate the simplicity and natural beauty of the area. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful scenery, Rim Campground is definitely worth considering.
