Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site

What an amazing place to camp and view history! The camp grounds were beautiful! This is by far the most well kept camp ground with potable water available at several spigots, super clean camping spots, quite and nice hiking/walking trails. The pictographs are awesome and show up better in photos than with the naked eye. A great place for families.

Beautiful historic site with free entry, a very informative pamphlet, and clean restrooms. The campsites look quite interesting but we didn’t camp here. Definitely worth the drive to see this history. There are several reviews that say the petroglyphs are difficult to see. I did not find this to be the case. There are some that you have to find the right angle to see— just back up a bit and it’ll reveal itself to you. Can’t get too mad about having to do this: that’s our beautiful Wyoming weather plus time causing erosion on the rocks.

I went just for the petroglyphs. I have seen many petroglyphs before. These were nice because they were different. I really enjoyed the animals, especially the life size deer. It takes about 20-30 minutes to see them. The area is quite scenic. I did a short walk also. The whole park is well done. It looks like most people go for the camping.

I have been coming here since I was a child, and now I bring my own children. It is one of the cleanest, nicest and most serene campgrounds in the wyoming parks system! Perfect for fishing, picnics, hiking, and doing the immersive experience with hike to the petroglyphs and pictograms. They have done an absolute phenomenal job on the education and display end. I love so much you can walk easily to the petroglyphs and admire them for as long as you want. TAKE YOUR TIME! The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with necessary toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Loved seeing the wild turkeys roaming around and listening to the birds in the trees and the running water from the streams. Was a little disappointed that reservations are a year out on renting the group shelter, but I will be putting in my notice so we can use it for a small group next year. It's very very wonderful place, perfect for families, or solo who just wants peace and quiet while surrounded by nature. The campsites are wonderful! 10/10 will always recommend this place, they hold it to a very high standard!

An amazing location! The brand new interpretive exhibit at the visitor center is amazing! (Kinda impossible to get good pictures, it is inside and they use lights and darks really effectively. Amazing in person, but impossible to photograph.) Really demonstrates the importance of the site to Native American peoples. The short trails are beautiful! Real earns its name, Medicine Lodge, you feel a sense of peace here.
