Fishing and paddleboarding draw visitors to Coulter Bay Campground within Keyhole Reservoir State Park, where a no-wake zone keeps the water calm enough for both activities throughout the day. Sites sit close to the shoreline, and the open sightlines toward the lake make it a reliable spot for watching the sun drop toward the horizon. Trees are sparse near the RV sites but more present within a short walk toward the water's edge, which reviewers note came as a welcome surprise given how open much of Wyoming's landscape tends to be.
The campground stays relatively uncrowded outside of summer weekends, and site spacing gives campers enough room to spread out without feeling hemmed in. Day-use parking sits adjacent to some sites, so expect occasional foot traffic from non-campers moving through the area during daylight hours. Cell service is available. Facilities are basic: vault toilets and a water spigot within steps of the campsites, though Scott D. notes the water was not available during a late October visit, describing it as "a bit pricey for no water" for non-residents at that time of year.
The $10 nightly rate applies year-round, and reservations are available through the Wyoming Department of Parks and Cultural Resources. No pets are allowed. Campers exploring the area can also find places to camp near Keyhole Reservoir State Park, including Pats Point Campground — Keyhole State Park and Beach Campground — Keyhole State Park nearby. Arriving with a full water supply is advisable if visiting in late fall.
