Jim Moss Arena Campground

24 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents50 acres ¡ Riverton, WY
JMA Campground is located about 15 minutes west of Riverton, Wyoming. Outstanding views of the Wind River Mountain Range and the Owl Creek Mountain Range. We do not have trees or green grass - bring your own shade. LOL We have 30 and 50 amp RV sites (each site has water) along with primitive tent sites. Amenities at the park include WiFi, fire pits, firewood, shower and restroom facilities, picnic areas, trash services and a RV dump station available for $15. Visitors can take advantage of the various outdoor activities such as basketball, hiking, biking and stargazing. Our campers enjoy our quiet solitude - we're not located along a busy noisy highway! Jim and I established our place in 1983. We produced team ropings and barrel racing jackpots for nearly 40 years - we no longer produce rodeo events (due to health). In 2017, we decided to share our property with campers - we have cherished each and every moment - we have made so many friends!  From the JMA Campground, it is 50 miles to Thermopolis (hot springs, whitewater rafting, fishing, buffalo, dinosaur museum, etc.); 60 miles to the National Military Museum in Dubois; 130 miles to the South Entrance of Grand Teton National Park; 45 miles to Lander; 70 miles to South Pass City - many other local attractions.

It depends on which gate you enter. The southern gate through the Tetons is about a three-hour drive, whereas the eastern gate is about a 3 hour and 45-minute drive. Keep in mind this is just the distance to the gates. Yellowstone is a massive park and it can take time to drive from the gates to the geysers, not to mention wildlife traffic delays. -Are there bears in the RV park? No, there are no bears in our RV Park. We have visiting deer and occasional beavers but no bears. There are bears however in the surrounding mountains, especially in the higher elevations. -Cell Service? There is actually a Verizon tower in town. Most sizable towns you pass will have cell service, but expect that service to drop once you leave. Wyoming is beautiful, put your phone to the side and enjoy our scenery, our eateries and our wildlife! -I heard a loud siren! Lander has a volunteer fire department. The siren you hear is the fire whistle calling out our fire department. -Can your park fit my rig? Motor homes are getting bigger and bigger every year. Our park has 50 foot and 70-foot pull-throughs. Nearly all of our pull-through sites have trees. Our best view sites are 60 foot back in/pull in and they do not have trees. We do have one 80 foot back in site as well. -When does your park close? Our park is actually open year-round and the managers live onsite to assist our guests needs. While the park is always open, the office is closed occasionally on some holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, ect. We close the office when we take our short vacations during the winter. -How far are you from town? We are located on a small hill that overlooks Lander City and Lander valley. It is a 3 -5 minute drive into town, or a 20 minute walk. -What time is check in/check out? Check in begins at 2 pm. Check out is at 11:00 am. You can request a late check out time of 12:30 pm which we will do our best to accommodate. -Do you allow pets? Yes we do allow pets.
