Worthen Meadow Reservoir Campground Introduce

Welcome to Worthen Meadow Reservoir Campground, your ideal destination for outdoor adventures and serene relaxation. Located on Forest Rd 300 in Lander, Wyoming, this campground offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and convenient amenities, making it a favorite spot for campers and nature lovers alike.

Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Wyoming, Worthen Meadow Reservoir Campground provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The campground is situated near the reservoir, offering stunning views and a cool escape from summer heat, especially on weekdays when crowds are lighter.

Two Distinct Camping Loops: The campground features two separate loops, each offering a unique camping experience. The first loop, affectionately known as "Party Cove," is lively with many RVs and can be quite noisy, ideal for those seeking a social camping environment. In contrast, the second loop offers a quieter experience with fewer campers, perfect for those who prefer peace and quiet.
Campsites and Amenities: The campsites are well-established, equipped with potable water pumps strategically placed throughout the area, ensuring easy access. The outhouses here are noted for their cleanliness, which is a pleasant surprise for campers. Each site also features a bear box that doubles as additional countertop space, proving handy for those cooking or storing food.
Fishing and Water Activities: Anglers will find plenty of opportunities to cast their lines at the reservoir. While the fish may be small, the abundance of bites, especially around the dam on the east end, makes it a rewarding spot for fishing enthusiasts. Beyond fishing, visitors can enjoy swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water.
Customer Feedback: Our campers have shared their experiences, highlighting both the pros and cons of camping here. Many appreciate the beauty of the area and the cleanliness of facilities but note that weekends can be quite busy. One visitor mentioned encountering an uncomfortable situation with RVs taking over tent sites, so planning ahead is advisable. Despite these minor inconveniences, most campers leave with positive impressions, especially those who enjoy weekdays for a quieter experience.

Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, Worthen Meadow Reservoir Campground offers something for everyone. With its diverse camping options and abundant outdoor activities, it's a must-visit destination for your next Wyoming adventure.

A very fun place to play for the day. We fished. Played in the water. Had a little campfire to roast hotdogs at dinner time. We’ve gone up twice. Once on a week day and once on a Saturday. The weekday was understandably way less busy. Much cooler than down in Lander, a perfect way to escape the summer heat.

Overall a pretty great campground. Ideal unquestionably for weekday camping to avoid crowds! There are two separate loops, the first of which I believe has 21 Campsites and we nicknamed Party Cove (super loud campers with little camping etiquette; chainsaws starting up 8am, metal detectors beeping and adults yelling by 9..on a Wednesday morning) and the second loop is 8 campsites on the SE part of the lake, at higher elevation and better views; a complete night and day experience with our super quiet and thoughtful neighbors once we switched it up and moved there. Absolutely beautiful setting! The campsites are very well established, there are *at least* 3 pumps for potable water dispersed between all the sites, and the outhouses were some of the cleanest I've ever been in. The bear box in the site was surprisingly incredibly handy as an extra countertop space. We tent camped and were very comfortable. Did return from fishing one evening to find an rv backed into our campsite, family unloading and attempting to take over our spot which we'd been in for 3 days...was a little socially uncomfortable but thats life. I will say, I've camped for many years, never seen so many RVs gathered in one spot. We were most definitely the only tent campers. Next time we'll be going further backcountry on 4x4 trails to avoid camping suburbia. Fishing good, but very small. Definitely more bites on the East end by the dam than any other part we explored.

We camped here July 4 thru the 8. We had a great time. The camping spots are limited but we lucked out with a great spot. There are no hook ups for rvs. Well water and vault toilet. The camp host is great and very helpful. We enjoyed our time at worthen meadows.

Visited mid-week in July. It was quiet and other campers respected the quiet hours. The bear box at our campsite wasn't very clean, but we kept food in the vehicle anyway. I'd camp here again without a second thought.

Love it here. Quiet, good sites next to the lake, and great hosts at the campground. The outhouse is well an outhouse but at least you don't need to use pine cones if you forget your own paper.
