The Bureau of Land Management recently announced the temporary closure of the Rim Campground in Natrona County, effective July 15, until further notice. The closure is a precautionary measure to ensure public safety due to increased bear activity in the area.
Details of the Closure
The Rim Campground facilities are within the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area. Nearby Lodgepole Campground remains open at this time. However, if ongoing monitoring shows that bear activity in the area poses a risk to public safety, the campground will also be temporarily closed until conditions are determined to be safe for public use.
Those with questions can reach out to the Casper Field Office at 307-261-7600 or via email at [email protected]. More information about the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area can be found on the BLM website.
