About this campground
Nestled deep in the heart of Wyoming's wilderness, Forest Park Campground awaits those seeking genuine solitude among towering pines. This intimate retreat, reached via a scenic 34-mile journey along Greys River Road, offers 13 thoughtfully spaced campsites arranged in a single loop beneath a cathedral of evergreens. Each site features gravel parking suitable for trailers up to 30 feet, while rustic amenities including vault toilets and a hand-pumped water spigot maintain the authentic camping experience. The lush grass carpet that blankets the forest floor creates an open, meadow-like atmosphere between sites, perfect for those who appreciate nature's communal spirit.
Forest Park Campground accommodates a mix of camping styles, including tent camping and RV camping (with no hookups). There are no cabins, glamping options, or group sites.
Historical SignificanceForest Park Campground holds a unique position as the gateway to the Forest Park Elk Feed Grounds, where conservation efforts have sustained one of Wyoming's most magnificent wildlife populations for generations. This protected habitat represents decades of careful stewardship, allowing visitors to camp in the very heart of critical elk wintering grounds while witnessing firsthand the delicate balance between recreation and preservation.
Weather and SeasonsForest Park transforms dramatically with the seasons, offering distinct experiences throughout the year. Summer brings mild mountain days with temperatures hovering comfortably in the 60s and 70s, ideal for hiking and wildlife watching. As autumn approaches and crowds thin, you might find yourself the sole guardian of this pine-scented paradise. Winter blankets the campground in pristine snow, with accumulations reaching 8.2 inches during peak weeks, creating a wonderland for the adventurous souls who brave the cold. Late-season visitors often discover they have this hidden gem entirely to themselves.
ElevationPerched at 6,700 feet above sea level, Forest Park Campground offers the crisp, clean air and cooler temperatures that define Wyoming's alpine forests. This elevation places you firmly in the montane zone, where morning mists dance through pine boughs and afternoon thunderstorms roll across distant peaks, creating an ever-changing tapestry of mountain weather and light.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a living sanctuary where mature Lodgepole pines and stately conifers create nature's own cathedral. The forest canopy filters sunlight into gentle, dappled patterns across the campground, while the surrounding elk feed grounds add an element of wildlife wonder to your stay. This tranquil alpine setting serves as both shelter and stage for the natural dramas that unfold daily in Wyoming's backcountry.
Geological RegionSituated within the vast expanse of Bridger-Teton National Forest, Forest Park Campground showcases the region's signature landscape of dense Lodgepole pine forests interspersed with natural meadows. This distinctive terrain, sculpted by millennia of geological forces and forest succession, creates a mosaic of shaded groves and sun-drenched clearings that exemplify the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's diverse habitats.
