This area is beautiful, with the river loudly rushing through the campground. Site 7 was situated down by the water, making it so we felt alone most of the time, even though the day use parking was above us. We didn't see any sites designed for our large family tent, but our 4-person tent would fit beautifully in any of the sites. Most of the sites are well-separated with trees. The pit toilets are kept clean and well-stocked with sanitizer and TP. There was a no-burn rule in place while we were there, but the fire rings are large.
The weather was lovely in July. The river and trees keep it cool. We had wildflowers throughout our site and all along the nature trail accessible from the campground. We will definitely be back.

This is a "connect to nature" campground.
Near the Popo Agie River (Lander, Wyoming). This is one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever had the opportunity to stay at. Sites are on the smaller side, in terms of fitting a rig. Our 24' trailer was just barely squeezed in, but there are some larger sites as well. Bottom line here is I would check first!
Our site had intermittent cell service on all three of our carriers (Verizon ATT Tmo). We do not have a booster. There are also sites that had no service. This was challenging as we have a young child doing online school right now. If internet is a must, you can also literally drive to Lander.
Park rangers were incredible and kind. Really took care of the site.

What a nice state park. We had site 9. The sites are suitable for trailers up to 25ft or so. Sites 3,4, and 5 look good for trailers and have good river access. Clean vaults and nice nature trail complete w swinging bridge over the Popo Agie.

We posted up here for a couple weeks in August while exploring the area around Lander. Clean facilities and really good water coming from the well. It's kind of cramped if you have a big rig. Good access to trails along the river and great access to Sinks Canyon rock climbing (what we came for). 15 min drive into Lander.

Stayed three nights at Popo Agie Campground. Great location but only 4 to 5 spots that can fit a 30’ TT. Spots 3,4, & 5 are all capible. We lucked out and scored #4. Secluded with a path down to a cool river soak spot. Campground was full most nights.
Off the grid. No service unless we walked up to the road. 3G at best.

We had such a lovely stay at Popo Agie campground. We lucked out rolling in at 3:30 Friday afternoon to snag one of the best sites, #3. We were worried traffic might be loud from the road above but the river drowned it out. Sites 3-5 sit on the turnaround, which was actually perfect for our kids to have a little paved cul-de-sac to ride scooters, bikes and play games. Well-kept with daily fire pit cleanup crews and close by nature walk and hike - we did the 3-mile hike to the Middle Fork Falls with our dog and 2 kids - spectacular! Nearby Lander was a bonus, the 15-min drive to town was nice to have, especially with the Gannett Grill for lunch, ice cream shop, and Cowfish (Lander Brewing Co) which ended up being one of the best dinners we’ve ever had. This was such a great camping trip for us - a best kept secret amongst Colorado campers for sure, we'll be back!

When I checked the website to make a reservation, it appeared all of the sites except the yurts were booked. In a panic, I booked a yurt for two nights. We were surprised that upon arrival that many sites were empty. The ranger at the visitor center explained that the website was very confusing; the only reservable “sites” are the yurts. Since others are fcfs, check our all the sites carefully as not all are level and some barely have enough room to park a car. Some back up on the river, which is nice. Our yurt was nice and clean. There is a mattress cover on the bed, which was not expected. A table and three chairs was a nice touch. You are expected to clean the yurt before departing. All sites/yurts have easy access to several trails (walking) but you do need to drive to see the Sink/Rise. Pit toilets and no hookups. Water pumps are available.

The Popo Angie River rushes down the canyon, until it comes to a cave and diverts underground for a quarter of a mile before rising to the surface again. Many trails make for good hiking.
The campground is kind of molded into the landscape which leads to odd shaped sites with weird sizes of parking pads. Very few sites are suitable for RVs over 25 ft. Toilets are clean vaults. No plugins available.
Fees are $6 for Wyoming residents--$11 for all others.

Stayed at the Popo Agie Campground (in the state park) for a few impromptu nights during the week in the middle of July, 2017. Arrived just past Noon on a Wednesday and we managed to grab the last available large site (there aren't many!). There is plenty of camping further along the road, or even more up the many-switchbacks-road.
Pros:
- Lovely campground in the canyon in the middle of a riparian area by the Popo Agie River.
- Excellent trails near-by - both hiking and mountain biking.
- Very quiet all day, with minimal road noise.
- Multiple water spigots available, though with no hose coupler.
- Good Verizon signal strength with an external antenna (-75dBm as reported by my Cradlepoint). Decent speeds most of the day, but seems to slow down considerably between 1PM and 4PM. Jumped between 1x, 3G, and LTE on my iPhone.
Cons:
- The Camphost occupied the best site, number 7 backing onto the river, just in case you're looking to snag that one.
- IF YOU HAVE A LONG TRAILER DO NOT DRIVE PAST THE NATURE TRAIL PARKING AREA - IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BACK OUT OF THERE, AND HARD TO TURN AROUND IF THERE ARE CARS PARKED IN THE CUL-DU-SAC
- Site was very listed side-to-side, and we couldn't fully level our trailer with the equipment we had (Anderson levellers). Need to invest in more leveling options.

The previous review by Jen & Q was very thorough and helpful. We camped in site #5 in the Popo Agie (pronounced po - po- shuh) Campground. We think we lucked out with nabbing the best site of all, it was simply beautiful here. Just an FYI... the dead end sign is no longer there and we saw many rigs that had to back up back down the hill because they could not turn around in the small cul-de-sac at the dead end just past the yurts, restrooms, and host site. We drive a Dodge Ram and pull a 28ft trailer.... we barely made the turn around in the cul-de-sac. No reservations here and it filled up every evening, so plan accordingly. There is firewood available at the host's site, with donation appreciated. There is a free dump station on Buena Vista Drive next to the Lander Public Works. The showers at the Community swimming pool on 9th Street are only $3.00, are very clean, and well worth it. (FYI - the men's showers are open so to avoid theft, it would be wise to bring your own lock and use the lockers that are available. A man lost his wallet, keys, and pocket-knife while we were there.) The hikes here are beautiful, especially the hike to the middle falls. The Thai Chef restaurant in town doesn't look like much from the outside but has delicious food. We love Thai food and the massaman curry was the best we have had. We also ate at the Lander Brewery & Gannett Grill where we had a delicious, gourmet pizza. We just loved it here and definitely plan on returning in the future. If you are ever here on the 4th of July, don't miss the parade, rodeo, and fireworks in town!
