About Upper Wind River Campground

Campground in Wyoming.

Nestled in the heart of Wyoming's Wind River country, Upper Wind River Campground offers an authentic high-altitude camping experience for travelers seeking mountain solitude and outdoor adventure. Located in one of the West's most scenic regions, this public campground provides easy access to pristine wilderness areas, alpine meadows, and rushing mountain streams that define the character of Wyoming's backcountry.

The Wind River area is renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery, with towering peaks and dense coniferous forests creating a stunning backdrop for your RV camping adventure. The landscape here tells the story of Wyoming's rugged terrain—a place where outdoor enthusiasts have come for generations to reconnect with nature and experience the grandeur of the American West. The elevation and mountain setting mean cooler temperatures, making this an ideal destination for those looking to escape summer heat while enjoying some of the region's most beautiful natural surroundings.

The nearest communities provide essential services and supplies, allowing you to stock up on provisions before settling in for your stay. The region's cultural heritage runs deep, with important Native American history woven throughout the area, adding another layer of richness to your visit.

This campground appeals to a wide range of travelers: families seeking a mountain getaway with outdoor activities, serious hikers and backpackers using it as a trailhead access point, anglers looking for world-class fishing, and anyone craving the peace and natural beauty of Wyoming's high country.
