Sinks Canyon State Park

How does the sound of rushing river water mixing with the calls of canyon wildlife set the stage for your camping adventure? Sinks Canyon State Park campground, located just 6 miles from Lander, Wyoming, offers a rare combination of geological wonder, raw natural beauty, and outdoor recreation. With the Popo Agie River flowing through the canyon—disappearing mysteriously into a limestone cavern and re-emerging downstream—this campground is a gateway to fascinating exploration both above and beneath the surface.

The campground features two primitive camping areas, including the Popo Agie Campground with 24 sites and Sawmill Campground with 5 sites. While simple in amenities, each campsite includes picnic tables, fire pits, seasonal potable water, and restrooms. Firewood is available by donation, and the experience is enriched by the park's scenic trails, wildlife diversity, and trout-filled fishing spots. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, world-class rock climbing, and mountain biking, all within a 30-minute radius. Nearby attractions like Popo Agie Falls and the park's visitor center offer additional insights into this unique environment.

Sinks Canyon State Park’s location in the Wind River Mountains makes it an ideal destination for day trips, weekend getaways, or nature-focused vacations. Whether you're intrigued by its geological wonders, inspired by its rugged terrain, or seeking a peaceful escape, the campground provides an authentic Wyoming outdoor experience.
