Peaceful waterfront boondocking with great views and space to spread out

We stayed just outside Buckboard Crossing Campground near 41.23339 N, 109.59618 W and had an amazing experience. For most of the week, we were completely alone it was quiet, peaceful, and right along the water. Finding a level spot close to the lake can be a little tricky, but nothing too challenging. We tow a 19 ft travel trailer and had no issues getting in or out.The dirt roads in can be rough in places definitely a lot of ruts and potholes likely caused by people driving when it's muddy. That said, we saw smaller vehicles make it just fine. While we wouldn't recommend this for oversized rigs unless you're experienced, the main access road to the sites is wide enough, and a large travel trailer did show up a couple days before we left.There were some folks with off-leash dogs, and traffic picked up a bit on Friday and into the weekend with boaters and folks riding around on UTVs, but it never felt crowded. There is some scattered trash around the area left by others, but nothing overwhelming.Just down the road is the established Buckboard Crossing Campground with a boat launch, vault toilet, and what looks like a dump station and spigot, though the water was shut off during our stay. We ended up dumping and refilling at the Maverik in town, which had free services.

Buckboard Cove

Nice river side camping on a rock beach. Antelope, deer and birds of all kinds are plentiful. There are 2 roads each has at least one really nice dispersed camping spot.
