Lodgepole Campground

Lodgepole Campground sits under the pines of Muddy Mountain on Bureau of Land Management land in the Casper Field Office in Wyoming. The 15 camping sites here include level tent pads and fire rings, with a few pull-through spots for large trailers and RVs. Two double-vaulted toilets are on site. Potable water is available to quench thirst after a day on the trails. Two trailheads offer access to Muddy Mountain's ADA accessible hiking routes, which link the camp to Rim Campground and to over a mile of single track for hikers and assistive devices. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Shirley Basin weather station, about 23 miles away, show July highs around 81°F with lows near 46°F. The station sits roughly 1,200 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Camping costs $7 a night, with an extra $3 for each additional vehicle. Access Pass and Senior Pass holders get half off, and cash or checks are accepted. Reservations are not required. Rim Campground is just 0.4 miles away. The Crooked Pine Trail is about 4.4 miles off, and the climbing areas of Sensory Deprivation and Head Games are each around 5.3 miles away.
