Where to go

Sinks Canyon State Park

Hike alongside Popo Agie River as it rushes over granite cliffs, through canyons, and disappears underground in a rare formation called “The Sinks.” Views of Wind River Mountains make Sinks Canyon State Park a popular camping destination, with primitive tent camping and some RV spots near hiking trailheads inside the park. All Wyoming state parks require a camping reservation; book early to score a waterfront campsite by Popo Agie River.

Boysen State Park

Admire Boysen Reservoir, walk along Boysen Dam, and pitch a tent at a waterfront campsite at year-round campgrounds in Boysen State Park. The park offers a variety of camping locations for tents and RVs that are near swimming areas, picnic tables, and a boat launch. Three primitive cabin rentals are also available near the river with wood furniture, bunk beds, and a fire pit. For a look into Boysen State Park history, explore the original Boysen Dam site, CB&O Railroad, and the retired power-plant historic areas.

Hot Springs State Park

Soak away your cares with a visit to Hot Springs State Park, where the BigHorn River creates natural mineral springs. The free bath house welcomes campers to relax in the 104°F water, while picnic spots, hiking, and bison viewing offer plenty of outdoor excitement. Though camping is not permitted inside the park, nearby private tent and RV campsites make it easy to enjoy a day trip to the hot springs.

When to go

Camping near Lander is most popular from June to August, when warm weather offers a comfortable environment for hiking, horseback riding, and splashing in lakes and rivers. Fall is slightly cooler and quieter, with colorful leaf displays, and winters are typically cold and snowy. Many campgrounds and RV parks near Lander are open year-round, though some may close in extreme weather conditions.
