Firehole Canyon Campground

A great campground set down along the Green River. This is a loop set up, with each site nicely spaced with plenty of sage between sites for privacy. Most sites have their own covered picnic table (some share a covered area divided by a wall), and all have at least a picnic table and firepit. Some campsites have better views of the River (which kinda looks like a lake), but those sites seemed to be a bit more windy. The shower house was clean if a bit outdated. Nearby is a nice day use area with a boat launch and fish cleaning station. I stayed here two nights since I liked the privacy and quiet at night while I checked out the gorge and looked for wild horses in the day.

Breezy Green River camping in the Gorge

In the off the beaten path category, Firehole Canyon, in southwestern WY, definitely qualifies.  Just getting there, from nearly anywhere, is an adventure in itself. With about 45 miles between the campground and the closest town, campers should come prepared with everything they need. 

  

The sites have very unique set ups, that we’ve never seen anywhere else, and that’s saying something cause we’ve camped all over this continent. Each campsite shares a paved parking area with its neighbor and the picnic/ fire ring shelter serves each campsite to one side or the other. Each site gets its own privacy but with all the space within this vast campground it feels just a bit strange to cluster pairs of sites in this way. However, it makes the perfect choice for groups needing more than one space! 

  

The bathrooms are old, but clean, and the showers were wicked hot with plenty of pressure.   There are no electrical hook-ups, so bring your solar panels because there is plenty of sun to be had.  

  

The Green River which creates the reservoir is the perfect locations for recreational paddlers, boaters and anglers. Walking the lakeshore or hiking the ATV two-tracks in the area are good ways to spend an afternoon not spent on the water.

Off the Beaten Path

My favorite campground so far on our cross country road trip. The views and sunset were fantastic. The camping spots were paved and flat and each picnic table had its own pavilion for shade. Each site also had new fire rings that were really nice to cook on. Additionally if you enjoy overIanding there are many fun trails around the campground. I would highly recommend this campground and will be visiting again  

Amazing views 

Loved the campground, but would have loved more updated bathrooms. The showers were flooded, which could be the number of people there, but should definitely drain better. Close to the water, beautiful views. The only thing to ruin it was the crowds coming back from boating, loud into the night, and RV that ran it's generator all night. Otherwise would love to come back.  

Great Tent Camping

Wanted to explore the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area as we were traveling through southern Wyoming. Booked a reservation for this campground for a few nights. We hit an extreme hot spell, but enjoyed the area all the same. 
It is off the beaten path, but open and peaceful. We enjoyed hiking by the Green River and watching some Pronghorn Sheep that returned each day. 
Had to hike the mountain across from the campground to get Verizon signal!

Out of the Way

Fantastic site !!!
We had a great stay here ! Camp host chuck was so kind and friendly. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and well kept bathrooms during our stay. When we were ready to leave our car wouldn’t start and we knew we could ask chuck for help. He was great helped us out and we will definitely be back! If we could give 10 stars we would. 

Fun august stay

Heading from Grand Tetons to Colorado didn't give us great camping options in southern Wyoming, but this ended up being a pleasant and scenic surprise.  Showed up and got a site without reservation, only 1/4 of sites were full.  The water level in river was pretty low and there seemed to be a bit of an algae bloom.  Rock formations were pretty sweet.  Will probably never be in this area again, but if you are stopping through this place was neat.  Perseid meteor shower was over us this night, and this was 10/10 stargazing country.  Camp host mentioned there are rattlesnakes in the area.

Pleasant Surprise in middle of nowhere

I have mixed review of this campsite. I wouldn’t stay here again and here’s why. 

Zero cell service!  
The wind was insane so spent most of our time indoors!  Snowed twice! Hailed. The hours we had nice weather were wonderful as we hiked to the beaches.  The views are spectacular!  

The bathrooms had no soap or way to dry hands.  One of the toilets wasn’t working.  The shower was very small, but hot water was a blessing!  No electric outlets for a hair dryer, fyi.  They should install a soap dispenser and towel dispenser. With Covid, you’d think it would be a no brainer. $22/night (less with senior pass). 

Stayed 5 nights, paid for 6 but with the 2nd snowstorm and high winds I decided to leave a day early! 

Oh! Forgot. ALL sites are shared!! Shocking to think you’d have to share a campsite with total strangers. I also have a German shepherd who would not have appreciated a close neighbor with a dog!  You literally share the same pad!  Thankfully, no one else showed up next to me! 

Remote, but beautiful 

It’s a beautiful stay! Campground was decently busy but our site felt private and chill. Camp host wasn’t there while we were visiting. The views are awesome!
Bathroom lights didn’t work/cold shower/dirty. But the site was awesome with a little wind barrier structure and picnic table overlooking the reservoir 


Gorgeous scenery and great camping sites

Great sites,  32,33 are flat and good views for tents.  There are covered shelter w table.  Showers are clean.  Green River w/ in walking distance.  Lots to see and do.  Hiking is all over.  Dispersed camping available too. 


Firehole canyon

Awesome views! The usual picnic table, fire pit, water. Unusual double shared sites. You share parking, tables are separated by covered shelter but your neighbor is very close! We didn’t have neighbors so perfect. Bathrooms could be cleaner, free warm shower (great water pressure!) but doesn’t drain very well. Beautiful sunset and sunrise!

Scenic!

Good spread between campsites. Bathhouse was in decent order just large swarms of mosquitos. Camp host was friendly, great views! Had two packs of coyotes harassing the site my one night. Not sure if that’s common but they got pretty close to the campground but seemed to know to keep their distance. Make sure you keep your food put up!

Good overall 

It’s definitely out in the middle of nowhere. No reception not super reliable bathrooms, but so pretty

Great spot

We stopped here on a Thursday evening in late June and had no trouble finding a spot. The site pads were large and flat — perfect for our camper. The picnic tables have great shade structures to block sun and wind. Be warned that the wind can be very fierce!

Great spot on the river!

We had a longer drive than initially realized between destinations and stayed at this as a last min. In-between stop, we were pleasantly surprised! While some campsites are setup as shared campsites, we had the site to ourselves. There really isn’t a bad view from any of the sites, however some do have a view of the lake or large river below. We were only staying one night so didn’t have time to hike and check out the area outside the campground but it looked like there was a boat ramp and hiking trails. I would love to go back to this place as it is very remote and peaceful. There are also covered shelters at each of the campsites over the picnic table and wall that provides some privacy if there are others sharing the adjacent site/side.

Beautiful and peaceful 

Nice, quiet and peaceful. Not a lot of trees, but plenty of sun and a great breeze.
