About
Worthen Meadow Campground offers 28 campsites along the scenic shores of Worthen Meadow Reservoir in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest. The campground serves as a gateway to the Popo Agie Wilderness, with trailheads departing directly from the area for day hikes and extended backpacking trips. Non-motorized boating is permitted on the reservoir, and fishing opportunities abound in the surrounding lakes and streams. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Amenities include potable water available from a hand pump, three vault toilets, picnic tables, and cook grates at sites. Bear boxes are provided for required food storage in compliance with the Shoshone National Forest Food Storage Order. There is no cell service at this location. Trailers are limited to 24 feet maximum length due to site spur constraints. The stay limit is 16 days, and pets must be kept on leash. The nearby Worthen Meadow Picnic Area offers additional day-use facilities.
