Buffalo Creek Campgound

What makes Buffalo Creek Campground extraordinary is its sense of remoteness, set amid the serene South Bighorn/Red Wall Back Country Byway, offering unparalleled solitude, natural beauty, and raw wilderness experiences. This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) campsite, located approximately 24 miles north of Arminto, Wyoming, features just four primitive campsites. It is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat, surrounded by dense pine forests, rolling hills, and the gentle murmur of Buffalo Creek.

The campground's amenities are basic but functional, including fire rings, picnic tables, and a vault toilet. However, there is no potable water or hookups available, so campers must arrive prepared. This simplicity is balanced by the charm of the surroundings, which make it a perfect basecamp for hiking, wildlife spotting, or quiet evenings under star-filled skies. Due to the narrow, unpaved access road, this site is best suited for small rigs or tent camping. For those willing to embrace rustic conditions, the rewards include the tranquility of nature and the opportunity to explore the rugged Trapper Creek Wilderness Study Area or the trails of Casper Mountain—both nearby.

Buffalo Creek Campground is conveniently located within driving distance of Casper, a vibrant small city offering attractions such as the Fort Caspar Museum and the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. Its proximity to these historical and cultural sites adds a rich dimension to an otherwise purely nature-focused escape. Whether as a day-trip stopover or a weekend retreat, this campground offers an authentic Wyoming backcountry experience.
