Castle Gardens Scenic Area | Wyoming

This area of fantastic rock formations is located at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains at an elevation of 4,500 feet, close to the town of Ten Sleep.

Otherworldly rock formations to scramble on make this a great day-use or overnight camping area. Four camp sites with shade structures, tables, grills, fire rings, and a restroom are provided. You will, however, need to pack in your own water and pack out your own trash.

The Castle Gardens Scenic Area is open year round.
