Ryan Park Campground

You don’t have to be a history buff to find the background at Ryan Park Campground super interesting: it was built in the 1930s and housed German and Italian POWs during World War II!

Very little of the grounds from that era remain intact, but the 42 sites and 140-person group site pay homage to the past with little tidbits of history throughout the park. In Medicine Bow National Forest at 8000 feet, these grounds sit on 3 million acres of Wyoming’s finest grassland and national forests—bobcat, black bear, coyote, elk, moose, and deer roam free (pack your food up tight!) and there are hundreds of miles of cycling and hiking trails, fishing streams, and scenic drives to take. You’ll be surrounded by aspens and evergreens that light up with color in the fall, and make the search for a s’more stick super easy on the forest floor.

Boyer YL Ranch

5 sites · LodgingDixon, WY
Our Mission & Story The YL Ranch is a welcoming and inclusive restorative guest ranch seeking to reestablish our connection to one another, community, nature, and the outdoors. The YL is a sanctuary for the weary, a retreat, and a place to be whole again, inspiring creatives and explorers. In 2018, Jock and Kimberly opened the ranch gate to guests, reunions, retreats, camps, and other special events. In 2022, we welcomed the launch of the Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route and the many adventure motorcyclists from around the world! In 2017, Jonathan Boyer and his wife, Kimberly Coats, returned to their ranch in Wyoming. The YL was Jock’s childhood home. They had spent the previous decade in Rwanda running the Rwandan National Cycling Team. Jock’s boyhood dream has always been to return to the ranch and share its special gifts with friends and guests from around the world. The YL Ranch has been in the Boyer family since 1905. Jock and Kimberly look forward to welcoming you with their own unique style of warm Wyoming hospitality. The YL is open year-round and can accommodate up to 25-30 guests in summer and 20 in winter. Enter the YL and experience all the joys of ranch life and outdoor adventure – cycling (road, mountain, and gravel), fishing, tennis, swimming, and gourmet (sometimes fireside) meals.

Rebel Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Laramie, WY
Experience the rustic charm of Rebel Ranch, where the beauty of the land meets the spirit of the wild. Our working ranch is home to a variety of animals, including horses, bison, and chickens. As you step onto our property, you'll immediately feel a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. There is not a bathroom available for campers on this property. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE RESTROOM USE, NUMBER 1 OR 2! If you are a tent camper you must have a portable toilet to use inside your tent and must pack it out with YOU. If you do not arrive with the appropriate toilet amenities or are seen using the restroom outside, you will be told to leave the property immediately and will not be refunded. There is a liability waiver copied at the bottom, by booking you are acknowledging and agreeing to that contract. One of the first things you'll notice is our friendly horses, who roam the property freely and are likely to come greet you during your stay. You'll have the opportunity to interact with these majestic animals, feeding them, haltering them, brushing them, and even cleaning their stalls. It's a hands-on experience that will deepen your appreciation for these incredible creatures. Next, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with our bison. These massive animals are a sight to behold, and you'll have the opportunity to feed them treats, move their grazing pasture, and ensure they have fresh water. It's a rare chance to connect with these iconic animals in a meaningful way. And let's not forget about our chickens! You'll help feed and water them, collect eggs (you'll go home with a half dozen, with more available for purchase), and clean their coop. It's a fun and educational experience that will give you a new appreciation for where your food comes from. Throughout your day at Rebel Ranch, you'll be surrounded by stunning valley and mountain views, creating the perfect backdrop for your farm adventure. Whether you're looking for a hands-on experience or simply want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, Rebel Ranch has something for everyone. Come join us for a day and experience the magic of the ranch for yourself.

Antelope Hill Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent80 acres · Medicine Bow, WY
80 acres with gorgeous views of Elk Mountain, the Snowy Range, Laramie Peak, the Shirley Range, and Como Bluff. A perfect place to get away from it all. You will very likely not see another human, but you will see plenty of antelope and maybe some coyotes, swift foxes, badgers, and jackrabbits. Pictures don't do it justice but it's a beautiful place to enjoy the sky, the horizon, and watching the weather change and roll in throughout the day. Bring shade for the day and warm clothes for the night! Watch out for rattlesnakes!!
