Dugway Campground

WY BLM Campground Nestled near Sinclair, Wyoming, the BLM campground offers a tranquil escape with five sites, including a convenient pull-through option. Situated at Exit 219 on I-80, follow signs towards Seminoe State Park on CR 351. The campground is roughly 6 miles from the interstate(N 41.86077 W 107.05328) and accessible even for small cars, even in rainy conditions. 

While there's no drinking water available, the free campsites are worth the slightly bumpy road. The area is dog-friendly, perfect for those traveling with their furry companions. Basic amenities include scattered picnic tables and a pit toilet deep within the camp. No cell service (Verizon). 

Be prepared for mosquitos, but the serene and picturesque surroundings more than compensate. For those seeking a nature-focused experience, this spot is ideal. Consider it a playground of natural beauty. Restrooms are limited to the pit toilet, and picnicking is a joy with tables dotted throughout the area. Despite the insect presence, this campground offers a peaceful haven, making it an excellent choice for tent camping enthusiasts.

I would have rated this CG 4 stars, if it weren’t for the rattlesnakes. We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and needed a place to boondock over the 4th weekend and this place fit the bill nicely. We stayed in the first site(site 5, go figure) on the loop for 7 days in early July. There are only 5 formal sites and one group site, but there are a few other informal sites to be had as well just outside the CG. The sites are gravel and all looked“fairly” level. We managed to just get level. Site 5 is a very long site and there are some fairly large potholes at the front of the site, but the backend is smooth. The sites are spaced about 100 yards or so apart, give or take depending on location. The grounds are all open sagebrush and there are a lot of rattlesnakes in the area - we saw four. Terri had a close encounter with one on the side of the road and 2 days later our dog was bitten right on the side of the road also and had to stay two nights at the vet in Rawlins, so be aware and careful. The mosquitos can be pretty bad in the mornings and evenings, but not too bad with the breeze/wind during the day. The biting flies can be an issue any time of day. Lemon Eucalyptus seemed to be pretty effective at keeping both at bay most times. However, the gnats are small enough to make it through our screens and our Katchy pad was full every morning. The ants were also rather pesty when sitting outside. As others have mentioned, we have seen deer, bald eagles, ducks, pelicans and heard a band of coyotes that came rather close to camp one night. AT&T coverage is a spotty in this area without a booster, typically only 1-2 Bars of 3G service and up to 0.05 MB/s. With our weboost we were able to get 3-4 bars of LTE, with speeds up to 0.5 MB/s. T-Mobile had 4 bars of 4G service, with speeds up to 1.5 MB/s. It was probably LTE, but our Solis X hotspot only delivers 4G. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna. 

There is a dirt road that goes past the CG, and looking at Google Maps (satellite), there appears to be dispersed camping along the river down there, but this is apparently private property with a locked gate barring entrance, at least while we were here. Some the locals/owners were camped there over the holiday weekend and got rather loud at times, firing guns and riding their ATVs back and forth on that road well into the night. The other nights were quiet. Also, one of their dogs, a white Husky mix, wandered all the way from their camp into ours and right up to our RV, and though probably friendly otherwise, nearly had an altercation with our dog.
