Amsden Creek WHMA — Amsden Meadows Campground
FIRE BAN: WGFD flags this area as 'Fire Ban is in Effect for this Area' -- check before you plan on any open flame. SEASONAL CLOSURE -- READ THIS FIRST: Nov. 16 - May 14 Wyoming closes many of these areas in winter and spring to protect wintering big game, and a closure is not advisory. Confirm the current dates with Game and Fish before you drive out. This is a designated campground on the Amsden Creek Wildlife Habitat Management Area in Sheridan County, land acquired or administered by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. The area runs about 3,772 acres. Camping here is genuinely free and first come, first served -- and unlike neighbouring states, Wyoming does NOT make you buy a license or a habitat/entrance pass simply to be on the land or to camp. (If you intend to hunt or fish while you are there, that is a different matter: you need the appropriate Wyoming license and a conservation stamp for that activity.) STAY LIMIT IS 5 DAYS HERE, NOT 14. Wyoming's statewide cap is 14 consecutive days, but Game and Fish posts a shorter 5-day camping limit for this specific area, and the posted limit is the one that binds. You also cannot leave a camp unattended more than 48 hours, and once you hit the limit you must be off that same Game and Fish land for at least 72 hours before returning. Area-specific regulations from Game and Fish: Camping only in designated areas. 5 day camping limit. Weed free certified hay only. Exceptions noted for this area: Closed to vehicles Nov. 1 - May 14 Amenities listed by Game and Fish for the area: Parking These are working wildlife areas first and campgrounds second -- they exist for habitat, so expect gravel, expect stock, and leave it cleaner than you found it. We have not visited; confirm current conditions and closures with the Wyoming Game and Fish Sheridan regional office before you go.

Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Tie Creek at 7,050 ft, about 6 miles away. It sits about 2,527 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.
