About Town of Encampment RV Park

Campground in Wyoming.

Nestled in the scenic Medicine Bow Mountains of southern Wyoming, the Town of Encampment RV Park offers a quintessential mountain camping experience in one of the state's most charming small towns. Encampment is a historic community with deep roots in Wyoming's mining and ranching heritage, providing visitors with an authentic glimpse into the Old West while enjoying modern RV amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities.

The park's location in this elevated mountain setting makes it an ideal base for exploring some of Wyoming's most beautiful natural landscapes. The surrounding area is renowned for its outdoor recreation, with excellent fishing opportunities in nearby streams and the North Platte River. Hunters appreciate the region during fall seasons, while hikers and nature enthusiasts find countless trails through the Medicine Bow National Forest throughout the year. The elevation provides relief from summer heat while offering stunning views of mountain peaks and meadows.

Encampment itself is worth exploring beyond your RV site. The town maintains its frontier character with historic buildings, local shops, and genuine hospitality that reflects Wyoming's ranching culture. The Encampment River Museum tells the story of the area's copper mining boom and offers insight into the region's colorful past. Downtown businesses cater to travelers and outdoor enthusiasts, making it easy to stock up on supplies or enjoy a meal at local establishments.

The area appeals to a wide range of travelers. Fishing enthusiasts find excellent opportunities throughout the seasons, while outdoor adventurers enjoy hiking, wildlife watching, and photography in pristine mountain terrain. Couples seeking peaceful mountain escapes and families wanting authentic western experiences will appreciate the quiet charm of this location. Those interested in historical sites and small-town character will find Encampment particularly rewarding.

The surrounding landscape offers dramatic seasonal changes, from wildflower-filled meadows in summer to aspens turning golden in fall. Winter visitors enjoy a quieter experience with snow-covered peaks and cross-country skiing opportunities. Spring brings rushing rivers and renewing wildlife activity as the mountains awaken.

Fantastic spot for a few days. We had electricity and there was a dump station. Pitches are on grass, not all have electricity. We spent time at the 307 Bar which was full of friendly people good food and beer. It was walkable from the RV Park. Our friends raved about the museum in town which we didn't have time to see unfortunately.

It was just a place to rest for the night but I ended up seeing wildlife and a rainbow and got some great deals at the little thrift store in the same lot(So show up on Wednesday!). You can pay in donation boxes on site. The water was off, the restroom locked, but the electric worked fine and I didn't need amenities. Grateful for the rest and the stars at night were spectacular.

Nice quiet little city park with about 8 spaces, some 30amp elec, some have dump, some no water. Bathrooms are locked now (mid-Oct) for the season. Honor system, donation box on one of the electric posts near the center of the campground. Good place to just chill for a bit. No Verizon coverage but AT&T works well. Lots of Pronghorn Antelope roaming around

It's really cool that a tiny town like this would have an RV area like this. It could use some TLC, like trimming trees, raking, etc, but I noticed hardly anybody put $$$ in the donation boxes. Come on, folks! It won't be around much longer without $$$ to support it.
