reservable
The reservable portion of the developed campground places climbers and hikers directly among the granite formations.
Know before you go: The official 2026 listing says the campground has a mix of reservable and first-come sites. Hand-pump water may be available only July through September, and a listing is not proof of availability for your dates.
Know before you go: The official 2026 listing says only part of the inventory is first-come and current occupancy is not reported. Bring water and a backup; the hand pump is seasonal and may be unavailable.

Know before you go: Wyoming State Parks says every Curt Gowdy campsite is reservation-only. Confirm inventory in the state reservation system before leaving.
A campground page can confirm rules, facilities and reservation inventory at the moment you open it. It cannot establish future first-come occupancy. A dispersed-camping page or map can establish where camping may be managed; it cannot identify a vacant, legal or passable individual spot.
