Circle Park Campground

Circle Park Campground is located about 15 miles west of Buffalo, Wyoming, on the east side of the scenic Cloud Peak Skyway, near the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. Part of the Bighorn National Forest, the area offers a wide variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, scenic driving and a number of historic sites. The campground sits at the edge of a meadow tucked in a dense forest of lodgepole pine and aspen, with widely spaced sites. Circle Park Trailhead, leading into the Cloud Peak Wilderness, is nearby. Scenic off-road driving is available on nearby Elgin Park, Pole Creek and Crazy Woman Canyon Roads; hiking and mountain biking are allowed on these roads as well. High Park Lookout, a short hike east of Meadowlark Lake, is an old fire lookout offering panoramic views of the area. There is fishing at nearby streams and lakes including Tie Hack Reservoir, a non-motorized lake, and Meadowlark Lake, for rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout. Many additional hiking trails are available in the Cloud Peak Wilderness. The campground offers several single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets, drinking water from a hand pump, firewood sales, and trash collection are provided. The nearest dump station is 27 miles away on Powder River Pass.
