Camping, showers, Wifi, restrooms, trash disposal, and cabin rentals at the mouth of Ten Sleep Canyon.
We really enjoyed our stay and thought the place was beautiful and cool. We are not climbers which is what the place seemed to be centered around but found it inviting nonetheless. We rented a cabin and it was comfortable and the price for camping was crazy cheap @$5 a person. Showers are $2 which is reasonable. There is a community fridge and sitting area. I think personal space is a little different for climbers than it is others so be prepared for others to be about 5 to 10 feet too close. Avoid the negative reviews about this place, it was a highlight of my trip.
This place is the place to stay for climbers. I have never been to a better camp site than this, The site is full of characters and amenities for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The owners are working hard improving and maintaining this place! Not to mention that they are very friendly and kind, offered us their truck for day use when our car was dead and called the mobile mechanic for us. Never take kind people like them as granted, come and stay, you will not be disappointed.
I didn’t stay overnight, but the daytime visitor amenities are wonderful and an extremely reasonable price. While I’m not a climber, the vibe is great and the scenery fantastic. Stop by for a shower, to make your picnic lunch, or a quick swim in Ten Sleep Creek. Thanks for being so welcoming to those of us passing through!
Really exceptional location and camp run by an awesome pair of climbers. It really is luxurious to have WiFi, showers, toilets and sinks. The grounds are well kept and the ever growing deck space is an awesome place to spend a rest day. I know many climbers, myself included, who stay for the entire summer/fall season.
However:
1 single sink in a place with hundreds of climbers is a pretty wild concept. Another sink would be really nice.
More importantly though: Quiet Hours at 10PM is stupid. Climbers cover a wide variety of lifestyles from the weekend warriors, to the remote gigs, and the absolute dirtbags. It's a busy campground, often crammed full, and it's next to a highway. Not to mention that the outdoors is just a noisy place in general.
If a little noise keeps you up at night--wear ear plugs or deal with it. Forcing silent hours on everyone to accommodate the few workers stamps down on the evening social culture in favor of those who often are just visiting anyway. In recent experience, being quiet simply wasn't enough. Those who would complain to management expected absolute silence. This isn't a children's summer camp and having a hard curfew for all feels like a poor solution. I understand having quiet hours to mean "no loud partying" but it shouldn't mean "you literally can't make a noise or the weekenders will complain". Maybe a better policy would be "sometimes it's loud. It's a campground. Grow up, wear ear plugs, or deal with it."
We stayed 2 nights at Ten Sleep Rock Ranch. Cabin was clean comfortable. The campground itself is beautiful. When we were there in Sept there were lots of apples on the trees. The creek running through the camp ground is beautiful and peaceful. The tent camping sites are quite small and close together but the fee seems very reasonable for tenting. There are refrigerators and a microwave for guest use. We stayed in a cabin but I felt the price was quite high considering that the bathrooms were not working and you had to use a Porta potty. There is an extra charge to use the showers.
