Say “NO” to nearly 100 new RV Campsites at Bartlett Ln Buffalo Bill State Park

The Issue

We the undersigned residents of Park County, Wy oppose adding nearly 100 RV camping spots on the Southfork side of Buffalo Bill State Park accessed by Bartlett Ln.

This is not an expansion to an existing campground.   

We oppose a large number of RV camping spots because:

  1. It will significantly increase Southfork traffic.
  2. It will disturb the wide open and quiet space available for relaxation unique to this side of the park. 

The quiet and expansive views conveniently accessed on the Southfork serve to recharge local residents and visitors who want to experience Wyoming’s local beauty. 

We suggest involving the local residents before making such a large and permanent change to our park.
