Forest Park Campground accommodates a mix of camping styles, including tent camping and RV camping (with no hookups). There are no cabins, glamping options, or group sites.
Historical Significance
The campground borders the Forest Park Elk Feed Grounds, part of Wyoming's long-running effort to sustain elk populations on critical wintering habitat. Visitors camp at the edge of this protected area, where conservation work has continued for generations.Weather and SeasonsSummer is the most reliable window. Daytime highs reach the mid-60s to mid-70s, nights drop into the 30s and 40s. Trails and river fishing peak after snowmelt. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, and bear food storage rules apply. Late season offers solitude as crowds thin. Winter brings heavy snow (8.2 inches during peak weeks) but opens up opportunities for winter activities if you're willing to brave the cold and limited access.
ElevationPerched at 6,700 feet above sea level, Forest Park Campground offers the crisp, clean air and cooler temperatures that define Wyoming's alpine forests. This elevation places you firmly in the montane zone, where morning mists dance through pine boughs and afternoon thunderstorms roll across distant peaks, creating an ever-changing tapestry of mountain weather and light.
Natural Features and SceneryDense Lodgepole pine forest opens into natural meadows scattered across the campground. The canopy filters light onto a heavy grass understory where younger conifers are growing in. This mosaic of shaded groves and clearings is typical of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The campground borders elk feed grounds, and reviewers mention good trail access and proximity to Greys River.
