Wyoming uses Reserve America for state park camping reservations, with a 4 months booking window. This page covers how to book, what fees to expect, and which state park and federal campgrounds are best for hunters, anglers, and outdoor travelers.
Wyoming State Parks uses Reserve America with a 4-month rolling booking window. The 12 state parks include Buffalo Bill (near Yellowstone East Entrance, in Cody), Boysen Reservoir, Seminoe Reservoir, Curt Gowdy, and Glendo. Note: most Wyoming camping happens on federal land (NFS and BLM) rather than state parks — dispersed camping is the norm for hunters and anglers.
Wyoming campsite reservations are made through Reserve America, run by Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites. Reservation phone: 1-877-996-7275.
Book on Reserve AmericaPeak season is Memorial Day through mid-September, plus rifle elk and antelope seasons (September-November). Buffalo Bill State Park (near Cody), Seminoe, and Boysen see heavy summer demand.
Buffalo Bill State Park is Yellowstone's cheapest, easiest-booking alternative — a bargain compared to Yellowstone's Madison or Grant Village. For elk and antelope hunters, Bridger-Teton and Medicine Bow NF dispersed camping vastly outstrips state park capacity. Seminoe Reservoir is prime walleye fishing basecamp.
Free cancellation more than 5 days before arrival; late cancellations forfeit one-night fee.
Wyoming Game and Fish wildlife habitat management areas permit primitive camping in designated areas during open hunting seasons.
Wyoming's vast national forest land (Bridger-Teton, Shoshone, Medicine Bow) and BLM (Green River, Rock Springs, Casper districts) permits extensive dispersed camping — a defining feature of Wyoming outdoor recreation.
