Lander City Park

Free City Park! The parking is kind of random, but there are tables that mark spots. Also, city dumped snow in a large area making it unusable. However, that will be gone soon and it will be useable. The river and trails are beautiful. Sleeping with the sound of rushing water. We came for one night and stayed two. The bathrooms are closed because of covid right now. Tents can go on the grass. The grass is green and well maintained.

Well you can't beat the access to Lander, WY (5 min walk to Main Street) or the price. It was very crowded when we stayed mid-summer, but the vibe was good. Met and shared stories from the road with lot of other travelers, mostly climbers. People were really friendly and played with our three-year-old son. Very social and communal kind of experience.

There's water to fill a jug and bathrooms with running water. Great playground and shady grass areas. Popo Agie running clear and cold 10 feet away was perfect during heat of the day.

Arrived during Climbing Festival on Friday but though it is full of campers we still found a space for our rig along the creek.
Great spot!
Bathroom and water spigots to fill jugs.
No hook ups
No showers and the Public Pool which usually offers showers on 9th Street is Closed till August 4 or 6th for maintenance.
Researched and found this blog that will lead you to other options nearby.

3 night max stay.
I would return!

Stayed for the evening and arrived on a Sunday afternoon at about 12:00. There were a few spots available that were big enough to accommodate us. The one we chose was near the bridge over the stream and had our front doors facing the stream which was great. It was flowing pretty rapidly and the sound drowned out most of the people who were picnicking and using the park. Everyone camping there were respectful and police rolled though a handful of times during our stay. The only negative i would say I could have nipped in the butt by not parking so close to the sidewalk. It seemed quite the popular sidewalk which our dogs are not used to as we are usually out on public land. All in all great little stop through heading to the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone.

First come, first serve right in town. There is a large, grassy area for tenters, a smaller lot with picnic tables for campers/RVs and a block or two of parking along the creek past the RV lot for smaller rigs, vans, and converted SUVs. By the time it got dark, the place was FULL. But everyone was very quiet and respectful of noise. There was a generator running for a little while, but it was shut off well before dark.

Picnic tables and garbage cans are easily accessible and the small bathrooms are clean and have running water/flush toilets. Laundromat less than a mile away, multiple grocery stores close by.

There are places along the creek to walk and throw rocks into the water, and lots of locals walk their dogs through the area. The playground on the end of the park closest to town is awesome! If you’ve got kids, you’ve got to stop there.
If we are in this area again, we will definitely take advantage of this spot!

The park is situated along the Middle Popo Agie River in Lander and is about a one mile walk through a peaceful neighborhood to downtown Lander.

The park has a well maintained lawn area, perfect for putting up a tent, a nice playground area, and plenty of flushing toilets.

There are about a dozen picnic tables spread out throughout the park. Some are situated so that large campers can pull through and park next to them.

We were at the park with the eclipse crowds and the park was able to handle the crowds without a problem. Even with the large crowds we found the park peaceful and welcoming.
