A 20-site, first-come campground on the Tongue River in Ranchester, WY, with no hookups.

Connor Battlefield State Historic Site Campground sits on the Tongue River in Ranchester, Wyoming, reached from I-90 Exit 9 by heading west on U.S. Highway 14 into town and following the posted signs. The site is a Wyoming state historic site rather than a commercial campground, offering 20 dry camping and picnic sites on a first-come, first-served basis for both tent camping and travel trailers, with no electric or water hookups. Water spigots and vault toilets are located throughout the park, and large cottonwood trees provide shade across most of the camping area. Nightly camping runs $11.30 for Wyoming residents and $20.34 for non-residents, payable on-site by cash or check, with day use free. The park is open weather permitting from roughly April through October and closes to camping and vehicles on October 31. Its riverside setting includes a picnic area, a playground, and space for fishing directly from the bank. Site-specific questions can be directed to the Fort Phil Kearny office, which administers the property for Wyoming State Parks.
