Wyoming is a vast, open country sprinkled with sagebrush, pronghorn antelope and an air of freedom unmatched anywhere else in the lower 48.
Campers have plenty of space to explore in Wyoming. There are fewer than five human residents per square mile… five national forests, more than 18 million acres of public land and numerous wilderness areas.
More than 150 private RV parks offer campers the full scope of services from hot shower to cable TV hookups and swimming pools. Many cities and counties provide spaces at a reasonable rate, as do 11 state parks sites. The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management sites add another 200 or so to the campground inventory of Wyoming. Camping is allowed in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as well.
A quick lesson in Wyoming's art history reveals that Conrad Schwering, Thomas Moran and Archie Teater, among others, all lived and painted here. Teater came to Jackson Hole in a covered wagon in 1928 and was one of the few Western artists to enjoy fame during his lifetime. Since then, his studio/shop has moved around Jackson's Town Square several times. It's now JC Jewelers, where you can stop by for a look and imagine Teater sitting inside, painting away. read more
Bear River State Park and Visitor Center, along I-80 on the east end of Evanston, is a day-use only park that features bicycle and foot paths as well as several picnic shelters. In the winter, the nearly three miles of foot trails double as cross-country ski trails. A footbridge crosses the river and brings visitors to a natural area. read more
