The Best Camping Near Buford, Wyoming

I came here and it was absolutely packed. The sites were big so i ended up camping with another solo camper. I ended up giving him 5 dollars because the sites are 10 dollars each. there are picnic tales but the restrooms were kind of dirty

Wonderful campground in the forest. Very heavy use area but still feels like you have the place to yourself. 

Out of the way

This is a nice camp spot with good views. There’s a hiking/biking trail next to it. It has a toilet available. Many RVs and campers pulled in. The sites are fairly close together so that’s the reason for 4 stars. Everyone was very quiet when we were here. Many middle sites still available Saturday night (closer together). We prefer more secluded/dispersed but Vedauwoo was full and we were running out of daylight. 

Nice camp spot

We stayed 2 nights here in site 4. There were only 3 other sites occupied our 1st night (Sunday night.) Our site didn’t have a great spot for a tent but luckily we sleep on a platform in our 4Runner. Our picnic table was in rough shape but the fire ring was good. Some sites are back/pull in and some are pull through which looked to be big enough for campers. Most sites are out in the open with no shade or privacy while the ones on the outer edge have some small trees - more for separation from neighbors than shade or hammocking (we were sad about that, we had brought our hammocks.) The 2 bathrooms looked to be recently constructed and were clean. There are nice views of the hills around and close to a lot of national forest trails. Overall I would recommend.
