AUTHENTIC WESTERN ADVENTURES Camping What’s your Wyoming Camping PERSONALITY? In Wyoming, where the nighttime sky is filled with more bright, twinkling stars than you ever imagined possible, camping is a cherished ritual, a wonderful adventure and one of the best ways to immerse yourself in nature. With so much stunning wilderness in Wyoming, you’ll find every region of the state boasts a healthy inventory of campgrounds and RV parks — which means you can choose one with the amenities and access that are just right for you, whether you’re looking for a classic Western experience or a lakeside retreat. HISTORY BUFFS will be within walking distance of authentic Western relics at Indian Campground in the Black to Yellow region. There, grassy creekside campsites and cabin rentals are a short walk from the town of Buffalo, which has a quaint main street with shopping, an old-fash-ioned soda fountain, a restored 1925 carousel and Ferris wheel, a golf course and rodeos. BOATERS can get out on the water at Glendo Lakeside RV Park in Wyoming’s Park to Park region. Just five minutes from Glendo State Park’s Bennett Hill boat ramp, the park has easy access to boating, fishing and water skiing. All sites are large enough to accommodate RVs and boats, and boat rentals are available if you don’t have your own vessel. AVID CLIMBERS will have prime access to the Tetons at the American Alpine Club Climbers’ Ranch in the Salt to Stone region. With dormitory-style cabins designed for adventurous climbers and their families, the ranch helps you prepare for your climb with logistics information and even a climbing library and lounge. YELLOWSTONE VISITORS can rest after a long day of exploring the nation’s first national park at Bridge Bay Campground. Located next to Bridge Bay Marina, the campground has views of Yellowstone Lake and access to water recreation. You might see bison and other wildlife nearby, and with more than 400 sites, this campground allows you to choose a shady, secluded spot or set up camp near the shore and watch the moonlight on the lake. LEGEND LOVERS will get a dose of lore at Devils Tower KOA in the Black to Yellow region. Camping where “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” was filmed in 1977, you’ll be hanging out in movie history while enjoying nightly showings of Spielberg’s extraterrestrial clas-sic. The national monument is also a sacred Native American site, and you can find the stories behind its cultural significance at the visitor center. The campground offers tent rentals, a heated pool, free Wi-Fi, evening hayrides, horseback riding and an onsite café. COWBOY WANNABES can put that cowboy hat and boots to good use with an overnight Western camping trip arranged by Jackson’s Bedroll & Break-fast in the Salt to Stone region. You’ll take a sunset horseback wilderness tour, feast on a cookout-style dinner and then relax on beds inside lantern-lit tents. Wake up to breakfast and an optional half-or full-day horseback ride in the morning. It’s an experience meant to indulge the inner cowboy or cowgirl in all of us. SCENERY SEEKERS won’t be disappointed at Stateline Cove Campground in the Salt to Stone region. Pitch your tent on the sandy shores of Flaming Gorge Reservoir, where stunning red-rock cliffs rise high above the shimmering blue water. Drive to the Red Canyon Overlook at sunrise for an out-of-this-world photo op. 38 Wyoming Official Travelers Journal CAMPING IN WYOMING, WYOMING OFFICE OF TOURISM.
