    Little Mountain Dispersed Camp

    Breathtaking views

    Closest trees to Rock Springs. I go up here for day trips and over night trips. Elk, Bear, Deer, and cows are around. Lots of places to explore and there are never many people around so I can let my dogs off the leash which is really nice.

    Little America RV Park - A Traveler's Oasis

    Brand New RV Park

    Great stay here. No real amenities except for a good bar and restaurant. We had lunch there one day. Decent space between sites. No dog park although large grassy area to walk the dogs. RV park is not gated.

    Very friendly staff. Clean Park and quiet.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Good Overnight KOA

    Everything you need for a good overnight stay, or launching pad is here. They have full hookups, partial hookups, awesome tent sites, cabins and a sizable area for full timers. There’s a pool, dog park, washers and dryers and a playground.

    The staff is VERY nice and accommodating.

    Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds

    Road trip overnight stay

    Great spot for an overnight stay if you’re passing through Rock Springs. Pay when you get here. Camp host is in the small house in the corner of the parking lot. Beautiful mountain range view. Bring soap and TP if you’re using the restroom/ showers. Restrooms are clean. Gas and supplies are nearby to this fair ground event center. Will stay here again on our way to Colorado.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Good for an overnighter

    Clean, free, hot showers, clean bathrooms. Nice little dog park. Friendly staff. Easy access, free WiFi.

    The only downsize is that the pull through campsite, you come in from the right and your neighbor comes in from the left so your front doors are facing each other and are about 12 feet apart, ok for one night, I suppose.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Easy place to crash between Denver and Jackson Hole WY

    We just needed a quick place to crash on the way from Denver to Jackson Hole Wy area.  We didn't want to make the full drive at once since we needed to set up a campsite when we got there, so we stopped here.

    It had snowed the night before and it was cold.  However, the fences protect the campsites for the tent campers, so we didn't feel the wind at all.  We were so well protected.  We were even able to pull our car in front of the site, and this blocked our site from view of others.  

    The facilities were nice:  bathrooms were spotless and there were laundry facilities and many other things.  

    There was even a cute dog park that we could exercise our husky in. He was happy :).  Plus, the fencing around the campsite allowed us to set up a nice dog run for him.

    The people were very nice when checking in, and it was very organized.  

    We would stay there again!

    Green River RB Park

    Okay for a Short Stay

    Our Ford navigation was having a bad day and wanted us to take Exit 91 from I-80 west bound to get to the campground (CG). That exit would have you going through the middle of town, but the alternate navigation we always run(either Waze and/or Google Maps) brought us to the correct exit for the CG. We double-checked the website and verified they are located right off of I-80 at Exit 85 (east bound) or 89(west bound). When we got to the CG, another rig was checking in, so we had to sit on the somewhat busy road until we could make the turn on the street for the CG office. The lady checking us in was super friendly and we proceeded to the upper E section to pull through site 11 with FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and our F450. The utilities worked fine but we needed a reducer as the water pressure was around 100 psi. We read reviews concerning low water pressure and they were working on the waterline in the CG so be aware. There are trees in or near most of the sites. We put our Starlink in the front part of the pad for a northern sky shot. There are 34 sites in the E section; 19 pull-throughs plus 10 small back-ins and 4 tent sites on the back fence where I-80 runs(you will hear road noise anywhere in this CG. There’s a bathhouse and a small fenced dog area. While we were here for 3 days, the poop bag dispenser was empty and the regular-sized garbage can in the dog area was 1/2 full of poop bags. The laundry facility is in the bottom section where the larger back-in sites/permanent party are located. We checked out the public river access at the end of the road down from where the office is located. You could launch a kayak, but there isn’t much parking. After trying to log into the CG WiFi several times, we connected and the WiFi was not good. We got 3 bars on Verizon. One of the transient workers started a loud diesel truck and let it run a long time before departing each morning. Unfortunately, this is a typical occurrence in these types of CGs. We were impressed with the local area brochures they gave us on local dining and the wild horses. They have 24-hour laundry and showers in the CG. In our humble opinion, the best thing about this CG was the coffee and craft beer on draft at the office. They have 4 craft beers on draft and you can get a flight for$5. The coffee and draft beers at the officer are worth checking out. Try a burger on a cornmeal bun at Broadway Burger Station in Rock Springs. This CG was okay for an overnighter or a couple of days at most.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Good stop for “along the way”

    This is a “Journey” KOA and is being rated as such. The spaces are very close together and they pull neighbors in alternating directions so that you’re facing a neighbor’s front door when you come out of yours, minimizing privacy if you want to eat or cook outdoors. There are some premium spaces with fences and patios but they were all booked. The tent sites look very private with nice grass pads. The trailer sites are all gravel and dusty, but it’s pretty standard. Easy access off the highway and we didn’t experience any noise. The back of the property is very scenic with some off-roaring and hiking trails. If you’re in partial hook ups in the front of the grounds, you’ll be abutting the petroleum factory. The community showers and restrooms seemed pretty clean and well maintained. The laundry was basic and mostly functioning (a few out of order machines), but we did our laundry with no issue. The pool is small but clean and a good temperature. Staff is friendly and the office store is stocked. The area is very nearby to the Northern end of Flaming Gorge NRA which is pretty awesome. Plenty of other things to do nearby, though the towns of Rock Springs and Green River are a little lacking. Guests are mostly transient and, though the park filled up each day, it mostly cleared out by the following morning. Very convenient along the way stop but also nice for an extra night or two to explore the area! Ask in the office for some tips on places to explore.
