Rim Campground | Wyoming

Nestled under the pine trees of Muddy Mountain and overlooking the valley below, Rim Campground provides 8 camping sites that include level tent pads and fire rings, with a few pull-through sites for large trailers/RVs. One double-vaulted toilet is provided for camper's comfort. 

Two trailheads provide access to Muddy Mountain's ADA accessible hiking trails linking campers to nearby Lodgepole Campground and to over a mile of single track trails for hikers and assistive devices only. 

Potable water is not available at this campground, but is available at the nearby Lodgepole Campground. 

Fees: $7/site/night and $3/extra vehicle/night. Access Pass and Senior Pass holders receive half off their camping fees.

Accessibility Description (ABA/ADA)

The parking area for Rim Campground is just off Muddy Mountain Road. The lot is packed gravel and holds about a dozen vehicles; none of the spaces are marked specifically for accessibility but the lot as a whole should be suitable for mobility device users. Cell phone reception is spotty. 

A ring road connects the individual sites and an accessible double vault toilet, which is in the middle of the camping area.  

Each of the 8 campsites has a flat surface for a tent, a fire ring with grill attachment, and a picnic table with inset legs that allow wheelchair users to pull up to the ends. Some sites have 2 picnic tables. There are no picnic shelters at the Campground but tree coverage provides some shade. 

The Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area includes a 2-mile accessible trail that connects the Rim and Lodgepole Campgrounds. It has 28 interpretive signs and two scenic overlooks.  

Cell phone reception is spotty.
