Okay, okay - the name may seem a tad ominous.

But we like to think that Dead Swede Campground references the died-and-gone-to-heaven feeling you’ll get when you score a tent site here with a breathtaking view of the South Tongue River. Take that sentiment and triple it if you’re a fisherman; nearby Sibley Lake is teeming with three kinds of trout. It’s not the most private of campgrounds, but everyone’s eyes will be on the river anyway - and hey, there will be plenty of people nearby to listen to your story about catching a fish thiiiiiis big.

Ten Sleep Brewing Co.

17 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Ten Sleep, WY

Our Brewery is located in a field next to Signal Butte, a beautiful red cliff at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in Ten Sleep Wyoming. We are surrounded by beautiful vistas! Our talented Brewers make some of the best beer in the state! Each small camp site offers a shaded picnic table per site, the larger RV sites do not but are graveled. We offer nearby port a potties, access to limited brewery wifi with incredible vistas all around. A very unique and beautiful brewery camping experience! Please note! It is important to look at each sites description when booking as some sites accommodate different sized camping rigs. Also please note we are located next to a Red Vista RV park. If you turn to soon you will be at Red Vista RV park which has concrete pads. SOOOO if you are at the concrete pads you are in the wrong spot. Check in at Brewery upon arrival. If you love to climb and experience the outdoors this is your place. Rich in history, this ranching town was the halfway point—or ten “sleeps”—between two major Sioux Indian camps. Surrounded by working sheep and cattle farms, today’s Ten Sleep, with a permanent population of only 260 is a fun detour for those on the way to Yellowstone National Park, and to the nearby Bighorn National Forest. Ten Sleep is so close to the Bighorn Mountains that you can’t see them from most places in town—the striking reddish-hued foothills block the view. But you can’t help taking in Ten Sleep Canyon, which rises into the mountains starting about six miles east of town and has grown in the past couple of decades into one of America’s top summer climbing destinations, with more than 800 climbing routes! Our guests also love staying with us! "Camping at a brewery was so convenient for us. The beer was super tasty and it was awesome that all we had to do was walk to our tent afterwards. And it was supercool to spot some pronghorn antelope right on the property." July 19th, 2025 requires tickets to Jalan Crossland Concert to book camping and Labor Day weekend requires ticket purchases to the Wyoming Singer Song Writer Finals Festival to book camping.
