Campgrounds near Lander, Wyoming
Lander sits in west-central Wyoming at the eastern foot of the Wind River Range, in the Popo Agie River valley. The town is known for its access to Sinks Canyon State Park, nearby Red Canyon and a vibrant outdoor culture centered on climbing, mountain biking, backpacking and fishing. It functions as a practical base camp for RV travelers heading into the Winds, the Shoshone National Forest, and BLM lands south toward South Pass.
RV options split into two categories. In-town, full-hookup private parks such as Holiday Lodge Motel and Campground, Sleeping Bear RV Park and Campground, Mountain Range RV Park, and Twin Pines RV Park and Campgrounds provide services, laundry, and easy resupply. Just up the canyon, Sinks Canyon State Park offers two campgrounds with primitive camping (no water hookups and no electricity), each site with a firepit and picnic table, plus firewood by donation, vault toilets and seasonal potable water pumps.
Sawmill Campground offers 5 campsites, including an accessible site, 2 roadside trailer sites and 2 pull-in tent sites, while Popo Agie campground offers 24 sites for tents and small trailers, with very limited availability for large trailers. Larger rigs are better parked in town.
Things to do near Lander
Sinks Canyon is the headline stop. The Middle Fork of the Popo Agie plunges underground into a limestone cavern called The Sinks, then reappears a quarter mile down canyon in a placid pool called The Rise, where visitors can view large rainbow trout in the pool below. The Popo Agie Falls trail, at the upper end of the canyon, is a roughly three-mile out-and-back hike to a cascading waterfall, with panoramic viewpoints along the way.
Climbers, mountain bikers, and anglers have plenty to work with. Sinks Canyon, Wild Iris and other nearby crags offer developed sport climbing, plus trad, bouldering and seasonal ice climbing. Johnny Behind the Rocks and the Sunnyside Trail inside the state park are popular mountain biking options close to town.
Downtown, Main Street has restaurants, breweries, outfitters, and the Fremont County Pioneer Museum for a rainy afternoon.

When to go: seasons around Lander
- spring
March - May
57° / 30°F 50 mmWettest season; May peaks with runoff in the canyon
- summer
June - August
84° / 52°F 34 mmWarm, dry, sunny; peak bookings, cool nights at elevation
- fall
September - November
57° / 30°F 27 mmCool nights, thinner crowds; hard freezes arrive by November
- winter
December - February
35° / 10°F 13 mmCold and snowy; canyon water shut off, private parks reduced services
Summer is the practical window for most RV travelers. The core season runs June through August, with July daytime highs typically in the mid to high 80s Fahrenheit and long daylight hours. Nights stay cool because of elevation, and afternoon thunderstorms are erratic and spotty rather than sustained.
Shoulder season demands flexibility. Late spring brings the wettest stretch of the year and high runoff in the canyon, with more than a third of the annual precipitation falling in April and May. May is the single wettest month on the local climate record. September often delivers the best mix of drier weather, cool nights, and thinner crowds, and remains a strong RV month before hard freezes set in.
Winter is cold and long. Water is shut off from late October to Memorial Day in the Popo Agie Campground at Sinks Canyon State Park. State park sites are on the reservation system May through September and first-come, first-served in the off-season. In-town private parks generally stay open with reduced services in winter.
How to book a site near Lander
For private RV parks in Lander (Holiday Lodge Motel and Campground, Sleeping Bear RV Park and Campground, Mountain Range RV Park, and Twin Pines RV Park and Campgrounds), book directly with the property. Peak summer weekends, the International Climbers' Festival, and the Independence Day window fill first, so reserve well ahead.
For Sinks Canyon State Park, including Sawmill - Sinks Canyon State Park, all camping now requires a reservation through reserve.wyoming.gov. Wyoming residents may begin booking campsites up to 120 days prior to arrival, and non-residents up to 113 days prior. The reservation season runs May 1 through September 30; outside that window, sites revert to first-come, first-served.
Check-in is after 3:00 pm and check-out is before 11:00 am. A reservation is considered a no-show if not claimed by 11 am the day after scheduled arrival, and the site will be cancelled without refund.
What to expect on the ground
Elevation and dryness define the experience. Lander sits near 5,360 feet, and the canyon rises steeply from there, so nights are cool even in July and afternoons can spike. Humidity is low and the daily temperature range in summer is large. Bring layers, sun protection, and extra water.
State park sites are rustic. Sinks Canyon offers primitive camping with no water hookups and no electricity; each site has a firepit and picnic table, and campgrounds provide firewood by donation, vault toilets and seasonal potable water pumps. There is very limited availability for large trailers. Plan on dumping and refilling in town before heading up the canyon.
Wildlife is genuine here. The canyon holds mule deer, bighorn sheep, and wintering moose and elk, with raptors nesting in the canyon cliffs. Store food securely and keep pets leashed.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lander, WY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lander, WY?
RV rental in Lander is one of the most affordable ways to explore Wyoming's Wind River Country. Expect motorhomes to average around $200 per night and towable travel trailers closer to $125 per night, with many hosts offering discounts on weekly and monthly bookings. If you're looking for a cheap RV rental Lander travelers love, filter by towable trailers and book mid-week trips outside the July peak when Yellowstone-bound traffic drives prices up. Pro tip: shoulder season trips in late May or early September can save you 15 to 25 percent and still deliver excellent mountain weather over Sinks Canyon.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lander,WyomingDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Lander, Wyoming?
Good news: for nearly every RV rental in Lander, your regular driver's license is all you need. Wyoming only requires an upgraded non-commercial license if your motorhome exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, and almost every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, and travel trailer on RVezy falls well under that threshold. You'll also need to be at least 25 years old to be an approved driver on RVezy, and ID confirmation happens inside the platform during booking. Visiting from another country? Your home-country license is accepted in Wyoming, and an International Driving Permit is recommended as a translation. That's it, you're ready to roll toward the Wind River Range.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Lander protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Lander comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can hit Highway 287 with real peace of mind. During checkout you choose your level of coverage, which protects against most accidental damage to the vehicle. You select the plan that fits your trip, so you stay in control of your coverage level. Combined with a thorough pre-trip walkthrough from your host, you'll head into Sinks Canyon State Park feeling confident about your rent an RV in Lander experience.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Lander RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in Lander, WY is lower risk than you might think. RVezy sets a standardized cancellation policy (not the host), and refund amounts depend on how far in advance of pickup you cancel. You'll see the full cancellation policy on your booking page before you confirm and in your booking details afterward. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy helps with a refund or rebooking credit. Pro tip: lock in your dates early so you're guaranteed the rig you want for peak Yellowstone-and-Tetons weeks in July.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Lander RV trip?
Absolutely, Lander is a fantastic dog town, and finding a pet-friendly RV rental Lander hosts welcome is easy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see motorhomes and trailers ready for your four-legged co-pilot. Once you're here, your pup will love the leashed trails at Sinks Canyon State Park, the wide-open Lander City Park along the Popo Agie River, and BLM lands south of town along Highway 28. Most local campgrounds, including Sleeping Bear RV Park, welcome dogs with standard leash and cleanup rules. Bring a tie-out and plenty of water for warm summer afternoons that often reach the mid-80s.
wyoparks.wyo.gov/index.php/places-to-go/sinks-canyonCan the RV be delivered to me in Lander instead of picked up?
Yes, RV delivery Lander hosts offer is a game-changer, especially if you're flying into Central Wyoming Regional Airport in Riverton (about 25 miles away) or meeting family at a campground. Many Lander hosts will deliver your motorhome or travel trailer directly to spots like Sinks Canyon State Park, Sleeping Bear RV Park, or a Wind River campsite, then set up the rig, level it, connect power and water, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees are set by each host and based on distance, so message them through the listing for a quote. It's one of the easiest ways to rent an RV in Lander, especially for first-timers.
flyriw.com/How far can I drive on a Lander RV trip, and are there mileage limits?
You've got incredible range from Lander, and many hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage or generous daily allowances perfect for a full Wyoming loop. From Lander you can reach Grand Teton National Park in about 3 hours (roughly 165 miles via Dubois and Togwotee Pass), Yellowstone's South Entrance in roughly 4 hours, Thermopolis hot springs in about 90 minutes, and Cody in around 3 hours. Each listing displays the included miles per night and the per-mile rate beyond that, so you can budget your route precisely. Pro tip: if you're doing a Tetons-and-Yellowstone loop, ask about unlimited mileage packages, they often pay for themselves by day two.
nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Lander to park my RV?
You're spoiled for choice for RV camping Lander offers. Right in town, Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground on East Main Street offers full hookups and is open year-round. Maverick Mobile Home & RV Park is close to downtown's restaurants and brewery. Just 6 miles southwest, Sinks Canyon State Park has campgrounds along the Popo Agie River with shaded sites under cottonwoods. Up in the Shoshone National Forest, Louis Lake and Fiddlers Lake campgrounds (about 25 miles southwest on Loop Road) put you near 8,600 feet next to alpine water. Local insider tip: Lander City Park has long allowed short stays for travelers, a tradition that earned Lander a reputation as one of the friendliest towns around, confirm current rules with the City of Lander before arriving.
wyoparks.wyo.gov/index.php/places-to-go/sinks-canyonWhen is the best time of year for a Lander RV trip?
Mid-June through mid-September is the sweet spot for an RV rental in Lander, WY, when daytime highs typically run in the mid-70s to upper 80s, nights cool to the 40s and 50s, and the Wind River mountain campgrounds are open. July is peak warmth and best for high-elevation spots like Louis Lake and Fiddlers Lake, which generally open in early July once snow clears. May and October are beautiful shoulder seasons with fewer crowds, but expect chilly nights below freezing and possible snow at elevation. Local insider tip: early September is magic, aspen turning gold in Sinks Canyon, elk bugling, and summer crowds gone.
weather.gov/riw/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay renting in Lander?
First time renting an RV? You've picked the perfect spot. Lander is a small town of around 7,500 people with wide, calm streets and easy highway access on US-287, no big-city traffic to navigate. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, hookups, awnings, and propane, and they're a message away during your trip. Start with a Class B campervan or smaller Class C motorhome rental Lander hosts list under 25 feet for the easiest handling. Pro tip: do a short shakedown drive to Sinks Canyon (just 6 miles of gentle two-lane road) on day one to get comfortable before pointing the rig toward Togwotee Pass and the Tetons.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if my RV breaks down on the road from Lander?
You're covered: every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on Highway 28 or a dead battery at Louis Lake is a phone call away, not a trip-ender. The roadside team helps coordinate tows, tire changes, lockouts, jump-starts, and fuel delivery. Your host is also your direct contact for quirks specific to their rig, just message them through the RVezy app. Pro tip: cell service drops in the Wind River Mountains and Shoshone National Forest, so download offline maps and save the roadside number before you leave Lander. Then relax, breakdowns are rare and help is built into your booking.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Lander RV rental into Yellowstone, Montana, or across state lines?
Yes, an RV road trip from Lander across state lines is exactly what these rigs are made for. You can drive your rental into Yellowstone (about 4 hours via Dubois and Togwotee Pass), Grand Teton (roughly 165 miles), Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and South Dakota's Black Hills, all within easy reach. RVezy insurance and protection coverage applies across the United States. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, and trips into Canada depend on the host and protection plan, so message your host before booking if a cross-border trip is on your radar. The most popular route is Lander to the Tetons to Yellowstone and back, an unforgettable 5 to 7 day loop.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for in Lander?
Plan ahead and your fuel budget won't surprise you. Class B campervans typically average 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 mpg, and Class A motorhomes 6 to 10 mpg. Wyoming gas prices generally track close to the national average, with stations in Lander, Riverton, Dubois, and Jackson well-spaced along US-287. For a typical Lander to Yellowstone loop of around 500 miles round trip, plan a fuel budget that scales with rig size and current pump prices. Pro tip: fill up in Lander or Riverton before heading into the Wind River Mountains or Tetons, prices often climb noticeably in Dubois and Jackson.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Lander?
Book early and breathe easy. For the best campgrounds near Lander in peak season (late June through August), reserve Sinks Canyon State Park sites through Wyoming State Parks' reservation system about 3 to 4 months ahead, they fill fast. Shoshone National Forest sites like Louis Lake and Worthen Meadow can be booked on Recreation.gov up to six months in advance. Private parks like Sleeping Bear typically have more flexibility but still book up on weekends. Local insider tip: weeknights in June and September are often wide open, giving you more spontaneity on your Wind River trip.
recreation.gov/What are driving conditions like around Lander and the Wind River Mountains?
Driving around Lander is refreshingly easy: wide two-lane highways, light traffic, and a town small enough that you'll never wrestle a big rig through a crowded intersection. The main routes (US-287, WY-28 over South Pass, US-26 toward Dubois) are well-maintained and RV-friendly. Watch for three things: strong crosswinds on the open stretches between Muddy Gap and Lander, wildlife (antelope, deer, occasionally bison) especially at dawn and dusk, and steep grades climbing Togwotee Pass near 9,600 feet toward the Tetons, take it slow in lower gears. WYDOT's 511 system has live road conditions. Pro tip: avoid mountain passes after dark in shoulder season when surprise snow can hit.
wyoroad.info/What amenities will I find at Lander-area campgrounds?
You'll find a great range of amenities, from full-service to back-country quiet. In-town parks like Sleeping Bear RV Park offer 30/50-amp electric, city water, sewer hookups, WiFi, laundry, and hot showers. Sinks Canyon State Park has potable water, vault and flush toilets, and a dump station but no individual hookups. Forest Service sites such as Louis Lake, Fiddlers Lake, and Worthen Meadow are rustic with potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and bear-proof storage at higher elevations. Need to dump tanks or top off fresh water? Sleeping Bear offers dump services, and most in-town hosts will set you up before pickup.
fs.usda.gov/shoshoneWhat features and amenities can I expect inside a Lander RV rental?
Lander RV rentals are road-trip ready. Most motorhome rental Lander listings include a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet, sleeping for 2 to 8 people (queen beds, convertible dinettes, bunks), heat and air conditioning, a generator or solar setup for off-grid nights, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many include a TV and some offer WiFi or cell boosters, useful given spotty service in the Wind River Mountains. Pro tip: ask your host about a propane fire pit add-on, fire bans are common in Wyoming summers, and a propane pit lets you keep that campfire vibe at Louis Lake even during restrictions.
fs.usda.gov/detail/shoshone/alerts-notices/What add-ons and pickup options should I know about for a Lander rental?
Hosts offer genuinely useful add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options include bedding and linen packages, camp chairs, outdoor grills, fishing gear, bike racks, generators, kayaks, and propane fire pits, all listed with prices on the listing page. Pickup is usually at the host's address in Lander, Riverton, or a nearby ranch, with delivery available to campgrounds for an extra fee. Mileage policies vary: some hosts offer unlimited miles, others 100 to 150 miles per day with a per-mile rate beyond. Use Instant Book filters to lock in your rig fast for peak Yellowstone weeks. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and bedding for the smoothest possible first-timer experience.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lander,WyomingHow do payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Lander?
Payment is simple and secure through RVezy, no cash handed to the host. You pay your trip total online when you book (or in two installments for longer trips), and a refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup. The deposit amount is set per listing and shown before you confirm. As long as you return the RV on time, clean, with the agreed fuel and tanks, and no damage, the hold is released after your trip ends. Pro tip: take a quick video walkaround at pickup and dropoff, it's the easiest way to avoid deposit disputes and keeps everyone smiling at the end of your Wind River adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Lander for a winter or cold-weather trip?
Yes, and winter in Wind River Country is a real adventure if you're prepared. Some Lander hosts list four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces, well-suited for ice fishing on Boysen Reservoir, cross-country skiing near Sinks Canyon, or chasing clear winter night skies when temperatures can dip well below 0F. Use the message-host feature to confirm the rig is winterized for your dates and ask about shore power, antifreeze in the lines, and skirting. Pro tip: park at an RV park with full hookups (Sleeping Bear stays open year-round) so you can run the furnace freely, and bring extra propane, you'll burn through it fast when nights hit single digits.
