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.
