Great fly fishing access

Wind River Canyon Campground is a beautiful spot tucked along the Wind River. There are no hookups, but water spigots are available throughout the campground to fill your tanks. As the name suggests, it can be very windy at times, so plan accordingly. Our site had nice shade and offered great views of both the canyon and the river. If you enjoy fly fishing, you’ll appreciate the easy river access right from the campground. It’s a peaceful, scenic place to stay— a great option if you don’t mind dry camping and want to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Easy riverside campsite for the night

Campsites are simple and flat and alongside the river, which is nice. The campground is adjacent to the road so there is some road noise, but the river drowns out a lot of that.

Lots of oak tree shade.

Nice fault, toilets, and clean sites

Great sites right on the water

I was lucky to find one of the sites that did not require a reservation available (only 2 tent sites are available this way). There is no reception here so quickly making an online reservation is not an option.

This campground has spacious sites for tents. I stayed on one of the sites on the ledge just above the water. The toilets are clean and the campground host is a great guy.

At 32.25 dollars it is definitely not the cheapest state park, but the location makes it worth it.

Would recommend

Wind River Canyon views

Pros and Cons to the location of this campground: great views of the Wind River and the tunnels, but right next to the highway and not much privacy between sites due to lack of underbrush. The half of the campground closer to the tunnels is walk up only and the lower half of the campground is reservation only. The host was very nice and happy to chat as long as you wanted, which might account for the lack of mowing. While there wasn’t much privacy between sites, they were at least well shaded by the trees (which were also good trees to hang a hammock in). The vault toilets were clean and sites all had picnic tables, fire pits and grills. There are no hookups for RV’s, but there is water available at the spigots scattered around the campground. Warning: it is loud in the day and into the late evening with trucks coming down and going up the canyon. However, if you get a site next to the river it quiets things down a bit.
