Connor Battlefield Campground Temporarily Closed
RANCHESTER, Wyo. – May 21, 2025 – The Connor Battlefield State Historic Site Campground is temporarily closed due to rising water levels from the Tongue River in northern Wyoming.
Seasonal flooding is common in this area, particularly following extended periods of rain, and there is currently no set timetable for reopening the campground.
Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site and the town of Ranchester jointly manage Connor Battlefield.
During this closure, visitors are encouraged to explore other camping opportunities and local attractions in the region. Nearby Wyoming State Parks, such as Buffalo Bill, Medicine Lodge, and Keyhole, offer scenic campsites and a wide range of outdoor recreation. For those interested in history and culture, the area also features several remarkable state historic sites, including Trail End State Historic Site and Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site, just down the road from the Connor Battlefield Campground. These sites provide rich opportunities to experience Wyoming’s heritage while enjoying the natural beauty of northern Wyoming.
To stay informed about the campground's status, follow updates on Facebook at @ConnorBattlefieldCampground or visit the official website at wyoparks.wyo.gov. The campground will post updates about its reopening as more information becomes available.
The safety of our visitors is a priority, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We look forward to welcoming you back to Connor Battlefield State Historic Site Campground soon.
