The Bighorn Mountains set the stage for memorable camping near Story.
Camping trips near Story, Wyoming are dominated by Bighorn National Forest, just west of town. Spanning over 1.1 million acres, the vast forest has something for every camper. In the northern section, the Tongue River area by Burgess Junction is well stocked with brown and rainbow trout for anglers. Basic tent camping amenities by the river include potable water and vault toilets. Dispersed camping options are also available in riparian zones, too. Head to the southern half of the forest for nearly 200,000 acres of heavenly alpine scenery in the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Hike along sheer rock faces and glacier-carved valleys, then find a tent or RV site in camping areas amid dense lodgepole pine forests with vault toilets, hand-pump water, fire rings, and picnic tables. Make the most of a camping experience in the forest and try some off-road driving and mountain biking on Crazy Woman Canyon Road, or hike up to High Park Lookout for panoramic mountain views of the area.
