Bennett Creek Campground — Bureau Of Land Management

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Bureau of Land Management's Bennett Creek Campground sits where the North Platte River cuts through Wyoming's sagebrush country, requiring drivers to follow the road to its end for access. The campground provides fire rings with cooking grates, picnic tables at each site, and a hand-crank well pump for water. A single vault toilet serves the area, and a boat ramp accommodates rafters and float trips heading downstream.

Campers report good road conditions despite the remote location, with cattle, horses, and pronghorn visible in the surrounding ranch country. The BLM Corral Creek Recreation Site lies upstream within half a mile. Sites remained available during busy holiday weekends, and visitors note significant temperature drops between warm days and cool nights.

Good sites, close to the river

Easy to find and good roads, just follow the signs from the highway. Good sized sites with trash collection and decently clean bathrooms. Lots of bugs in late June. Quiet with amazing stargazing

End of the road.

Great BLM campground with fire rings, water and amazing scenery. Located where the North Platte river cuts through sagebrush country, the  hills and peaks resembling  prehistoric boulders... in the middle of ranch country, the drive in takes you all the way to the end of the road. Just keep going until you can’t go anymore. The road is in good condition. There’s cattle, horses and plenty of pronghorn wandering about. The sites each have a couple picnic tables. Fire rings have cooking grates. And the well pump has a crank for easy use. 1 vault toilet. There’s a boat ramp for the numerous oar-float boats and rafts going in and out. Down stream is treasure island... another campground located outside Saratoga’. Upstream within a half mile is the coral creek campground. Days were warm but the nights cooled off considerably. It was the 4th of July and more than half the sites were available.
