About this campground

Nestled in Wyoming's untamed landscape, Chalk Bluffs Campground offers eleven thoughtfully designed camping sites where adventure meets tranquility. Each site comes equipped with essential amenities including sturdy tent pads, picnic tables perfect for evening meals under the stars, and fire rings where stories and s'mores come to life. RV enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated parking spaces, while anglers and river runners can take advantage of the convenient boat ramp and generous parking area that accommodates both vehicles and drift boat trailers. True to its backcountry spirit, the campground maintains a rustic charm with vault toilet facilities and encourages visitors to bring their own water supplies for an authentic outdoor experience.
Chalk Bluffs Campground is a small, first-come, first-served facility featuring basic camping options. It primarily accommodates tent and RV camping.
Historical SignificanceWhile the weathered bluffs stand as silent sentinels to centuries of natural history, the campground itself serves as a modern gateway to Wyoming's timeless wilderness, inviting today's explorers to create their own stories against this ancient backdrop.
Weather and SeasonsWyoming's dramatic weather patterns paint an ever-changing canvas at Chalk Bluffs, where crystalline winter weeks bring light dustings of snow and invigorating winds that whistle through the canyon walls. The region frequently rewards visitors with expansive clear skies that showcase brilliant sunrises and star-filled nights. While winter transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland for the hardy adventurer, the warmer months unveil the campground's full splendor, making it most accessible and inviting from late spring through early fall when wildflowers dot the hillsides and the river runs full.
ElevationPerched at Wyoming's characteristic high-country elevation, the campground offers that crisp, clean air that makes every breath feel refreshing and every vista seem sharper, though specific elevation details await your personal discovery.
Natural Features and SceneryThe dramatic namesake chalk bluffs rise majestically around the campground, their pale faces catching the changing light throughout the day in a natural theater of shadows and illumination. This rugged Wyoming landscape seamlessly blends rocky outcroppings with the gentle curves of the nearby river, creating a photographer's paradise and an angler's dream. The juxtaposition of weathered stone against flowing water provides endless opportunities for exploration, whether you're casting a line at dawn or watching the sunset paint the bluffs in shades of gold and rose.
Geological RegionSet within Wyoming's distinctive high desert ecosystem, Chalk Bluffs showcases the powerful forces that have shaped this land over millennia. The arid climate has carved and sculpted the landscape into a masterpiece of bluffs, mesas, and river valleys, where ancient geological processes meet modern-day recreation. The life-giving river that flows nearby creates a vital ribbon of green through this otherwise austere terrain, supporting diverse wildlife and offering refreshing respite from the surrounding sagebrush steppe.
