Moose wander through this 32-site Forest Service campground where Tensleep Creek flows along the back edge of several sites. Boulder Park sits within the Bighorn National Forest at $18 per night, operating from late May through mid-September with reservations available through Recreation.gov.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet on gravel roads and sites, though campers note the access road can be rough. Sites vary from shaded spots under tall trees to more open areas scattered with small boulders. Annie C. found "sites are pretty, and private-ish with lots of trees (some good for hammocking, some not)." Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, lantern pole, and prep table for cooking. The campground host maintains exceptionally clean vault toilets and sells firewood from a golf cart during evening rounds.
Tensleep Creek provides fishing opportunities, while Meadow Lark Lake sits a short distance away. The town of Ten Sleep lies 13 miles southwest for supplies and features a local brewery. Nearby options include Willow Park and Bull Creek campgrounds. Sites away from the main road offer more privacy, and the campground typically runs at two-thirds capacity during peak summer months. This works well for families seeking creek access and RV travelers needing full hookups aren't available here.
Description
Overview

Recreation
Off-road vehicle trails, scenic jeep roads, hiking and additional fishing streams are available in the surrounding area. Diverse hikes vary from loop trails to treks along creeks and over mountain peaks; many trails access the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Meadowlark Lake is within a couple miles of the campground. This small lake allows motorized craft at a wake-less speed. West Tensleep Lake, a few miles north of the campground, is open to non-motorized craft only. Both lakes are great locations for canoeing and fishing.
Facilities
The campground offers several single-family sites each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. The nearest dump station is 15 miles away at Powder River Pass.
Natural Features
The campground sits on the banks of West Tensleep Creek in an open meadow surrounded by a forest of lodgepole pine. Many lakes and streams are found in the surrounding Bighorn Mountains.
Nearby Attractions
The High Park Lookout is located just east of Meadowlark Lake. This old fire lookout was built by the CCC decades ago and is no longer active. A short hike leads to the lookout, where hikers are awarded panoramic views of the surrounding area. Deer Haven Lodge and Meadowlark Lodge are nearby, offering dining options, lodging, guided horseback riding and fishing and camping supplies.
