Open Northern Wyoming in the mapCan you camp for free in Northern Wyoming?
On most national forest and Bureau of Land Management land, yes: dispersed camping is allowed outside developed sites, usually for up to 14 days, unless an area is posted closed. Wyoming state trust land allows hunting and day use on accessible parcels but no overnight camping or open fires, so national forest and BLM land are where to camp. National and state parks, wildlife refuges, tribal land and private timberland are not. In Northern Wyoming the map shows who manages every piece of public land, wilderness boundaries and the land with no public record, which you should treat as private.
Where will I have cell signal?
From the carriers' own coverage filings with the FCC, strong (in-vehicle) LTE covers about 34% of Northern Wyoming for uniontelephonecompany, 27% of Northern Wyoming for AT&T, 15% of Northern Wyoming for T-Mobile, 13% of Northern Wyoming for Verizon, 0% of Northern Wyoming for viaerowireless, 0% of Northern Wyoming for sagebrush, 0% of Northern Wyoming for silverstarcommunications, 0% of Northern Wyoming for stratanetworks. Carriers model their coverage optimistically in the mountains, so the map also collects speed tests from other campers. Canadian phones usually roam on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon here: check which one your plan uses.
