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.

FAQs
-How far are we from Yellowstone?
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. We understand your furry friends are family members so why leave them behind on your exciting adventure? All pets must remain under your supervision and on a leash/fenced in at all times. Lander is a beautiful town with lots of wildlife and these rules are for your dear pet's safety.

Overview
About
A startling expanse of blue surrounded on all sides by dry, rocky plains, Boysen State Park is as close to an oasis as you can get. Like many parks in Wyoming, this one was created around an artificial lake—the 19,000 acre Boysen Reservoir. This body of water may be man-made, but nature lovers will delight at the untouched surroundings: a rainbow of vibrant badlands and fantastical rock formations serve as a cherry on top of the starkly beautiful, hilly panorama that frames its shores. While there are certainly hiking trails available, the real playground is the water. By boat, you can cruise up to the incredibly scenic northwest end of the lake, great for waterskiing and far from any major roads. Oh, and don't forget your rod and reel—Boysen is also a fisherman's paradise, with enough rainbow trout, walleye, and perch to make for some legendary camp meals.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Boysen State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is fully accessible. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for those seeking solitude. Winter can be harsh, with some areas closed due to snow, making it less ideal for visits.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your visit, as they can change rapidly amid the park's diverse terrain.
- Be aware of wildlife in the area; keep a safe distance and store food securely.
- Some areas of the park may be closed seasonally or for maintenance; check for updates prior to arrival.
- Bring adequate water and sun protection, especially during the summer months.
- Respect the natural environment by following Leave No Trace principles and disposing of trash properly.

Lower Wind River Campground
We made our reservation for this campground a couple hours before we got there. When we had a cell phone signal. We learned when we arrived that Wyoming discontinued allowing paying campers to use the Wi-Fi. Now only the host is allowed that privilege. We needed to make an important business call, so this was a disappointment to say the least. In addition, the house flies were incredibly numerous and highly annoying. I ended up spending a lot of time in our camper swatting dozens of them. Every time the door opened it seemed like 10 more came in. Yuck.

We stayed at the Lower Wind River Campground which has a stunning view. However at $40/night (for non residents) I can't recommend it. The sites are very small and have grass but no plants or rocks to separate them. Cottonwood trees do provide shade for some sites. it is next to the river, not the reservoir and there is a very steep bank that prevents you from getting to the water. No electric sites and vault toilets that are clean but dingy. A bit disconcerting that the ladies vault toilet has the local police phone number on the door. A street light in the campground and noise from the very close road made sleeping hard.

Pulled in late and found a nice site by the river. Sweet little spot, but next to highway. No traffic at night, but truck traffic noise in the morning.

September 17, 2015. Secluded spot. We stopped here on a whim only to find we are only ones here. Couldn't be more perfect. Has a vault toilet, but bring in water. There was a herd of pronghorns to greet us. Rough camping but we found a great spot for our teardrop trailer.
