Connor Battlefield Campground status

Connor Battlefield Campground in Ranchester, Wyo., is currently opening and closing at a moment's notice. Because of the effects of rainfall and snowmelt in the mountains, the Tongue River is frequently overflowing its banks and flooding the campground and park.

When this happens, the gates to the park, both on the vehicle road and pedestrian bridge,  are closed for everyone's safety. This means the park is not only closed for camping, but also closed for day use and swimming, so please do not climb over the gates.

To check the status of the campground, please visit us at www.wyoparks.orgwww.facebook.com/ConnorBattlefieldCampground, or call Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site at 307-684-7629.
