About SOUTH FORK (WYOMING)

Federal campground in Wyoming.

Nestled in the heart of Wyoming's stunning landscape, South Fork National Forest offers RV campers an authentic escape into nature without sacrificing comfort and accessibility. This exceptional destination provides the perfect blend of rugged mountain scenery, peaceful forest surroundings, and outdoor adventure opportunities that draw visitors from across the country.

The South Fork area is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, characterized by towering pine forests, crystal-clear mountain streams, and breathtaking vistas that change with the seasons. Whether you're arriving in summer when wildflowers paint the meadows in vibrant colors or during the golden hues of fall, the landscape offers endless visual rewards. The elevation and forest coverage create a naturally cool climate that makes this an ideal summer retreat for those seeking to escape the heat of lower elevations.

For outdoor enthusiasts, South Fork is a paradise of recreational possibilities. Fishing opportunities abound in nearby streams and rivers, with chances to catch trout and other native species in some of Wyoming's most scenic settings. Hiking trails of varying difficulty levels weave through the forest, offering everything from gentle nature walks suitable for families to more challenging alpine adventures for experienced hikers. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with opportunities to spot elk, deer, and numerous bird species in their natural habitat. The quiet, undisturbed forest environment makes it an excellent location for photography, nature study, and simply reconnecting with the natural world.

The location provides convenient access to some of Wyoming's most treasured destinations. The area serves as a gateway to extensive public lands perfect for exploring, and the proximity to mountain peaks and scenic overlooks means adventure is never far from your RV. The peaceful forest setting provides a true sanctuary for those seeking solitude and tranquility away from crowded tourist destinations.

South Fork appeals to a diverse range of travelers: families looking for safe, nature-based camping experiences, retired couples seeking peaceful mountain retreats, outdoor adventurers wanting excellent hiking and fishing, and anyone craving the restorative power of pristine wilderness.

Probably my favorite Campground in years. Not a huge campground with only about 10 spots plus a handful of tent spots across a bridge. We had spot #2 and it was amazing: trees and shade everywhere, river running through nearby (not deep and crazy, so I would be comfortable if I had small kids there) so we heard the water 24 hours. The campsite was plenty large, so we could see our neighbors but no... Probably my favorite Campground in years. Not a huge campground with only about 10 spots plus a handful of tent spots across a bridge. We had spot #2 and it was amazing: trees and shade everywhere, river running through nearby (not deep and crazy, so I would be comfortable if I had small kids there) so we heard the water 24 hours. The campsite was plenty large, so we could see our neighbors but not hear them. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled good, well water tasted amazing, great hiking trails at top and bottom of Campground, you name it. Oh, and the host Debby was great. She welcomed us and talked with us briefly, then left us alone and just gave a wave when we would see her around. Really nice lady. This whole place is awesome, can't wait to spend more time there. These mountains are as beautiful as any in the USA.

We stayed here for 10 nights in our 32 ft. Motorhome. We were at site #8 which is the best sight in the camp. The best spot on the beautiful creek. There were mule deer there every morning and a moose one day. There was an abundance of hummingbirds which were so fun to watch. There is plenty is hiking right there. There is a nice trail through wildflowers and lush evergreen forests to the Tie Hack... We stayed here for 10 nights in our 32 ft. Motorhome. We were at site #8 which is the best sight in the camp. The best spot on the beautiful creek. There were mule deer there every morning and a moose one day. There was an abundance of hummingbirds which were so fun to watch. There is plenty is hiking right there. There is a nice trail through wildflowers and lush evergreen forests to the Tie Hack Reservoir. It is about a 25 minute walk one way and mostly level. Our site was wheelchair friendly. There are two water sources but be ready to pump it! The restrooms were super clean. Sharon, the host, was great and always willing to be of help. We paid $8.50 a night with our Senior Pass. The one negative is that the is NO cell service. You can drive a few minutes toward town and get some signal. There is no RV dump there. You can go to Cenex in town or to the National Forest dump site located about 18 miles west of the campground on highway 16. These are both free. There is a small lodge restaurant across the road from the campground with good food and a gift shop. We camped with friends and family in a total of four sites. It was so beautiful. I was sad to leave. The mountains are glorious!

I stayed here for the first time when I was less than ten years old, so I have an affinity for this place. I've stayed here many times since then. Update: I camped 🏕 here again 8/24/2022. There was an Inconsiderate slob running a generator most of the night. I had put my tent up in my usual spot. These RVers did not like that. They said that the spot that I was in was for RVers only.

We took a camping loop of the western US, staying in half a dozen different campgrounds over the course of 2 weeks (Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands of both ND and SD, etc.).
