Natural Features and SceneryLodgepole pine forest surrounds the campground, with West Tensleep Creek running through the area. The setting blends alpine meadows that fill with wildflowers in summer and dense stands of pine that provide varying levels of shade depending on your site. Meadowlark Lake and West Tensleep Lake sit nearby for fishing and boating. The granite peaks of the Bighorns rise above, and the terrain shows the work of ancient glaciers in the carved valleys and high-elevation basins. Wildlife is common. Reviewers mention moose regularly, and the area supports a range of species from pikas to elk. One downside: cattle sometimes roam through the campground.

Lodging & AccommodationsWhile nearby Deer Haven Lodge and Meadowlark Lodge offer dining, lodging, and camping supplies, Boulder Park Campground itself does not offer lodging accommodations.
