More information:

Year-Round Reservations & Booking Window
The shelter is reservable year-round. Each year, booking for the upcoming season opens on the second Friday of January. For this upcoming year, reservations will open on January 9th.
Reservations must be made at least 7 days in advance, and there is a 7-day consecutive stay limit.

 

Cancellation Policy
To receive a refund, cancellations must be made 30 days prior to your arrival date. Failure to do so will result in no refund.

 

Overnight Facility & Updated Fee Structure
Although the shelter has often been used as a day-use space, it is officially designated as an overnight group facility. To simplify the process and provide consistency, we are transitioning to a single flat fee of $200 per night for your whole group, regardless of whether guests stay overnight or only use the shelter during the day.

 

New Capacity Limits (Subject to Change for future years)
The group area has a maximum capacity of:

  • 20 vehicles

  • 15 trailers/RVs

These updates help ensure fair access, clear expectations, and an improved experience for all users of the Medicine Lodge Group Shelter.

If you have any questions about these changes or need assistance with a reservation, please feel free to contact us. 

 

To make reservations, please go to reserve.wyoming.gov or call our call center at 877-996-7275, from 7 am - 7 pm, 7 days a week.
