Boulder Park

Boulder Park Campground sits on the banks of West Tensleep Creek surrounded by a forest of lodgepole pine. Nearby Meadowlark Lake (no-wake rules) is available to the trout fisherman and canoeist. The campground’s proximity to the Cloud Peak Wilderness and West Tensleep Lake area provides many scenic opportunities for the back-country enthusiast. Off-road vehicle trails begin nearby and rock climbing is popular in the area. Children love the 1/2 mile hike through tumbled boulders to High Point Lookout 5 miles east on Hwy 16.
