The best ranch campgrounds near Powell, Wyoming

Set up camp on a working ranch in Powell, where you’ll find over 30 ranch stays, most with open skies, wide pastures, and the steady rhythm of Wyoming life. Expect practical comforts—most sites offer toilets, showers, and spots for a campfire. Hiking trails crisscross the land, and you can saddle up or cast a fishing line without leaving the property. Nightly rates average $35, but you’ll spot options as low as $15. Locals often recommend Big Quiet Cowboy Camping (295 reviews) for its sweeping views and friendly hosts, Southfork Retreat (37 reviews) for its river access, and Sweetiebird Farms In Cody WY (18 reviews) for a quieter, tucked-away feel.

The landowners were super nice. Got me in late. And helped me get parked in the dark. They offered some delicious beef for me and 3 my dogs to buy which helped keep the doggies happy. Nice and private. Great communication. I recommend this spot !

We had a lovely couple of nights at this property. The cabin was clean & comfortable with quiet surroundings. The yard is beautiful & spacious, perfect for our dogs to roam about. The kitchen is well equipped, and we were very grateful for the opportunity to do laundry. Proximity to both the mountains & the canyon was a huge perk.

Camping on Jersey's property was so nice. She was a great host. She has great animals, i.e. dogs and horses who all love getting petted and a spunky Llama. Getting on and off the property was super easy. The views were wonderful.

It was a gorgeous property with gorgeous views. The views are definitely unbelievable, and the sunset was gorgeous. However, we brought our two dogs, and I want to mention that the whole area is filled with Foxtails and little burs that love to get stuck in their fur. It was a little cumbersome, getting stuck all over my gear too, but worth it for the gorgeous view. We would hands-down stay here again. It was a little difficult to get to, I would make sure you ask the house for an official address before going! We got lost a little bit and were able to find the location using the information on the stay.
