The Best Camping Near Kemmerer, Wyoming

Beautiful and remote area 10 miles up the road from the Visitor’s Center. Paved road that turns to dirt- both in great condition. High clearance vehicle needed, especially on the BLM land. Visitor’s Center provided a map showing the location of the dispersed camping (road off to the left at the top). Strong internet access. Spectacular views!

Spectacular!

Not a lot of info listed for this location so adding a review to hopefully help out! We didn’t get to camp here but it made me leave “stars”. 

The drive into the monument is easy, zero issues. Once the road turn to gravel, it gets steep. We have a 15k pound fifth wheel and a 2wd dually and we’re only able to make it a couple 100 yds up the hill before we started spinning. If you have 4WD you may be able to make it with a big rig, but might still be a little tricky with the gravel. We didn’t get to go very far, so if you have a bigger rig use caution. Up the hill it looked like a few sharp corners that may not be good for a bigger rig to get around with bad traction. We are not new to dispersed camping as it’s our primary camp type, this one just didn’t work out! Looked beautiful! 

Potentially a great spot 

And I got it at fossil butte.  At north end of park is a 17% grade loose gravel narrow road with two hairpins - good luck!  But northern end of park boundary is well marked.  Dark dark sky and unbelievably quiet.
