Perfect little spot

Not very trafficked (2 other campers) during our visit. Most spots are big enough for 2 tents and fairly private. 2 vault toilets right next to 4 of the campgrounds. Each spot has a garbage can. Nice views and some hikes right off the campground, plus if you're heading back toward Casper you can hit Garden Creek Waterfall on your way. Very few bugs late June.

*Note if you are coming from Casper you will be on a pretty rough gravel road for like 8 miles. We made it in a Prius but had to go sub 20mph most of the time.

Beautiful campground away from it all!

Quiet, beautiful and secluded. The campground has vault toilets which actually have toilet paper! The trails surrounding the campground are relatively level. The drive to the campground has several miles of dirt road, but 4x4 is not required.
