We had such a stellar time in Wyoming at the Funny Farm. Nice grass field with plenty of room. Very nice touch that the host provides firewood! Communication was top notch before we arrived, and the conversation while we were there was even better. Highly recommend. We will stay here again for sure!

I was able to locate the place easily with my GPS, there is an address posted at the site and the directions provided were clear. I was met upon arrival and offered my choice of locations. I was able to stay right next to the river, there were chairs and benches available along with a very large fire pit. It was quiet and I was able to enjoy sitting by the river. There were some very good suggestions of places to go check out near by, which I did, and they were great.

Weekend Trip to Aspen and Pine Camp on Middle Butte

Beautiful site in a scenic part of Wyoming. We enjoyed hearing the wild life while still having access to the road in case of emergency. The lot was pretty clean but did have some remnants of possibly old shelters or sheds of some kind. Having the bathroom was so great even just a pit toilet can change the whole camp experience. Overall it was a nice private area and we felt safe and comfortable.

What a wonderful stay!! The hosts were so kind and welcoming, even going so far as to help us out with setup. They responded to questions quickly, gave us extra firewood when requested (hand split!!), and the porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. The stream alongside the campsite was a wonderful touch and added in some great background noise!

The land is very primitive, isolated, and quiet. We got to see the Milky Way at night. The host was friendly and was easy to get in touch with. He came down, greeted us, and made sure we were all set for the night. We chose a gravel spot and slept to the sounds of the river. There were a lot of mosquitos, just a fair warning. Also, There were no fire rings or designated areas to sleep, but there were lots of good spots along the way. We dug our own hole for a fire and made the most of this experience. Overall, very beautiful land to camp on if you’re willing to trek a little bit out of the way for it.

They are not words to express how highly I would rate the funny farm in Bedford Wyoming. The host were fantastic. The views were amazing and the area was splendid. A short drive to Jackson, Wyoming, but more importantly, the peace and relaxation we felt at the camp was indescribable. There are great hikes just a short drive from the funny farm. Some of the hikes are easier than others, but all-in-all any skill level can be satisfied by the hikes in the area. I don’t just recommend this hip camp spot, but I highly recommend it with five stars.
