The camp is part of Curt Gowdy State Park of the Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites, and its use is a lease agreement between the Longs Peak Council, BSA, and the state of Wyoming.  This region was a favored camping area for the Comanche, Pawnee, Crow and Shoshone Indians during their search for bison. Other tribes, including the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux, are also thought to have roamed the area. The arrival of the Union Pacific construction crews in the 1860s caused Native Americans to be pressured onto the ever-shrinking hunting lands and their presence steadily diminished on the lands now known as Curt Gowdy State Park.
