Wyoming Camping - Remote Wilderness

1 site · Tent40 acres · Wamsutter, WY
Located on Riner Road (BLM Road 3203) this is a private 40 acre section of remote Wyoming land ideal for outdoor recreation, wildlife viewing, and exploration. As it sits on a BLM road and so access is relatively easy considering the location but 4x4 is definitely recommended. This is within one of the largest areas of unfenced land in the US. While there are some fences here or there, it is against the law to totally enclose any parcel in this area. As such, the land has plenty of wildlife and is relatively open range. You can see antelope, deer, elk, praire chickens, coyotes, and similar critters. Plenty of land to drive dirt bikes or side by sides. To the south you can find a 19th century campground and there are also quite a few fossils and historic frontier artifacts; if you know where to look. There is a whole section of public land immediately south open for public use and so feel free to explore. Just don't forget to bring water! There is no one out here for at least 10 miles. You might see a farmer and or some open range cattle, but thats it, and its very quiet otherwise. Night time is excellent for stargazing as the nearest town is about 24 miles (as the crow flies). This land has no facilities or running water (unless a rare storm blows in) and so expect a primative camping experience.

Our campground has been family-owned for over 15 years. My husband Jered and I purchased the campground from our Aunt and Uncle in 2019. We have big visions and improvements planned. It is fun to see them all coming together. We are a high desert location so not many natural trees and greens right where we are however with each season we have planted more trees and created more green space. We are excited to be welcoming guests to stay with us! Tents, RVs, and cabins are all available. Any special requests please feel free to ask we will do our best to make it happen.
