Lodgepole Campground

What makes Lodgepole Campground stand out is its serene setting within the lodgepole pine forest of Muddy Mountain, offering a tranquil retreat while remaining accessible for campers of all kinds. Just a 30-minute drive from Casper, Wyoming, this Bureau of Land Management-managed campground combines natural beauty, simplicity, and proximity to scenic trails and vistas for a perfect outdoor escape.

This small rustic campground features 15 campsites equipped with leveled tent pads, fire rings, and a few pull-through options for RVs or trailers. Two double-vaulted toilets and potable water add to the convenience, though there are no RV hookups or modern amenities, preserving the area's back-to-nature appeal. The campground is adjacent to the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area, where visitors can enjoy ADA-accessible hiking trails, single-track routes, and opportunities for wildlife viewing under wide Wyoming skies.

Located near the Muddy Mountain Interpretive Nature Trail and the stunning terrain of Casper Mountain, Lodgepole Campground is ideal for weekend getaways, nature-focused vacations, and stargazing. Its remote yet reachable location ensures a quiet atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for campers seeking a peaceful base to explore the natural and cultural beauty of central Wyoming.
