The best river, stream, or creek camping near Fort Washakie

·

In Fort Washakie, river camping is the headline act. With over 460 riverside campsites, you can pitch your tent or park your campervan along winding banks, just steps from the water. Expect average nightly rates around $77, but you’ll spot options starting at $37 if you’re watching your budget. Campsites here put you close to swimming holes, fishing spots, and hiking trails that cut through cottonwood groves and sagebrush. Pets are welcome, and you’ll find showers and toilets at most sites. One local favorite is The Longhorn Ranch (13 reviews), known for its easy river access and quiet evenings under big Wyoming skies. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a launchpad for days spent on the water and nights listening to the river roll by.

You haven’t fully lived until you’ve experienced the awesomeness of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Yes that is a bold statement, but if you’re an adventurer and wilderness junkie, then you are missing out and someone had to say it! This 3.4 million acre wonderland is an extension of the Yellowstone Wilderness, which is the largest intact ecosystem in the contiguous US. Think pristine, unspoiled wilderness filled with wildlife like no other, offering every type of outdoor recreation you could imagine. We’re talking thousands of miles of clean flowing waterways, endless trails, countless peaks to bag, and abundant camping in utter paradise! You definitely need to get in on this action.
