"We had some vehicle issues and needed a place to stay close to Pinedale."
"We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and needed a place to dump, do laundry and take on fresh water after a week of boondocking outside of Rawlins and this place fit the"
"Quiet location with a shower and heat in the bathrooms. I enjoyed my stay here but I am giving only 4 stars as it seemed over priced for the area and far from town compared to other campgrounds."

"The only drawback is the wind gusts (so watch your awning)but that’s Wyoming! Beautiful sunsets, view of mountains!"
"Only $75 for the night after a long day of driving. Was an adorable little room with cable tv. Wi-Fi didn’t work and no one seemed to know why."
$54 - $74 / night
"Yes, it's a beautiful new park - talkin' clean and quality amenities - but its bonus is the surrounding open fields and mountains in the distance. I was shocked walking into the bathroom..."
"Bathroom is centrally located. Hot showers and nice size stalls."
"Getting to soda lake was very straight forward and easy out of Pinedale. Very well maintained road."
"The road to Soda Lake, Willow Lake Rd, is hard packed gravel and pretty smooth. The loose gravel and dirt road around Soda Lake is also in pretty good shape."
"The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway. However after dark the traffic Falls to almost zero."
"RR was nearby and saw about 3 other cars there.well defined camp sites and each has a little road leading to it, so yes, take these! (I was unsure at first hehe)"
LegendCG has 24 sites all FF, no reservations. $7/$3.50. Tables, fire rings, vault toilets, trash bins, bear bins, however water was needing final testing but should be available on spigots scattered around. NO Cell signal on Verizon, att or TMobile. Host onsite. 8300 ft elenation. Most sites are small but a few are ok for TTs and RVs. Road up to big Piney lake was closed for construction project, even to hikers and bikes with threat of $$ fine! 23 mi from Big Piney, first 10 paved, last 10 are good condition graded gravel. Note there are a bunch of free dispersed camping sites from FS boundary to CG turnoff.
LegendThe Green River has access areas developed by the WY Game and Fish with private landowners and in this case the BLM. Short gravel road from hwy. This is primarily a fishing drift boat ramp access and parking, but this site also allows camping for the BLM limit of 16 days. There are about 2-3 camp areas with fire rings and old tables. There is also a nice vault toilet. Cell signal id very good. However, no drinking water or trash dumpsters. Some hwy noise and a potential for locals to roll up in middle of night as this is close to Big Piney. Lots and lots of bugs though.
TravelerDirt only with weeds. Road noise and dogs barking. No dog park or playground for kids.
TravelerDifferent sized sites to accommodate tent camping or RV. River access and great fishing. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings that include a cooking grate. Many sites also have a grill. Campground is pet and ATV friendly. Nice little camping spot, does get busy on the weekends.
GuideThis nice little Campground is all first come first served. Sits on the banks on the Green River. There is water, pit toilets, fire Rings, lamp post, and water. The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway. However after dark the traffic Falls to almost zero.
The campground is located a dozen miles or so north of Pinedale Wyoming which offers full services. It also provides easy access to the amazing Green River Lakes area. Just across the highway a gravel road parallels the Green River offering about a dozen free riverside campsites. The main road to these is rough but well maintained. However the road to several of the sites are quite narrow and rough and should be scouted if you're pulling a trailer or driving a larger RV.
There is amazing Wildlife viewing right from the campground. On my last visit I saw mule deer, moose, and Antelope right from my campsite.
TravelerGetting to soda lake was very straight forward and easy out of Pinedale. Very well maintained road. Needed a pit stop for the night and to be in close proximity to Jackson Hole for a full day of activities there before continuing on through Yellowstone. Lake/sites are very exposed to weather condition but well established and marked. I opted to continue into forest service land to get out of the wind with tent camping, ended up not far in past the two established spots off of soda lake in the Northeast corner. Perfect secluded spot that was free thanks to Wyomings excellent outdoor recreation opportunities.
GuideGravel access road from the Boukder Wyoming area. Limited number of established sites in the formal campgound loop. Other folks camp near the Boulder Creek trailhead.
Pit toilets, gravel parking, trail map displays. Picnic tables and fire rings. Suited for tents and smaller RVs. Bigger RVs camp near the trailhead parking area.
The two trails up Boukder Creek and to Blueberry Lake go up into the Bridger Wilderness. Bring bear spray and fishing rods.
TravelerWe arrived at night and found a spot pretty easily. The next morning, we tried to venture outside and the mosquitos were coming in thick swarms. We ran back to the camper trying to avoid the ridiculous amount of cow patties. The dogs were snatching the dried ones up as we ran further exacerbating the trauma. 😂. Our one dog fell 10 feet into the Reservoir because the edges are not sturdy. We had a hard time getting him out as the walls are straight up. We were afraid he was going to get sucked into the spillway. Needless to say, go further than we did if you want to stay here. Not sure what it is like, but it's bound to be better.
LegendWe are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and had scouted the area before arriving with the RV. The road to Soda Lake, Willow Lake Rd, is hard packed gravel and pretty smooth. The loose gravel and dirt road around Soda Lake is also in pretty good shape. There are many dispersed sites around the lake, but most were taken when we arrived. We found a decent site(42.962406,-109.850254) on the North side of the lake, but the“neighbors” to either side had loose dogs and our dog has had altercations with dogs off leash before. The site was surprisingly level too, almost didn’t need to level at all. Two days later, a nice large site opened up on the other side of the lake(42.965274,-109.840282), near the old boat launch, so we moved there. The nearest neighbors were considerably further away and no loose dogs that we could see. The area around the lake is completely void of trees, so all of the sites are full sun, but there was a good breeze/wind most days. Others have mentioned mosquitos and gnats as an issue, but we had few of either, though there were a few petty flies. There are a number of hiking trails in the surrounding area. We saw a fair bit of wildlife in the area as well; pronghorn, horses, hummingbirds, bald and golden eagles, osprey, hawks, sea gulls, grebes, beavers, a plethora of ground squirrels, and a lot of cows on the hike to Little Soda Lake. The mountains are beautiful and we had some of the most amazing sunsets. AT&T service was poor without a booster, with 0-2 Bars of 3G service, but nearly no data throughput. With our weboost, it got a little better with 3-4 bars of LTE and speeds up to about 0.5 MB/s. T-Mobile service was good with 4 bars of 4G/LTE, but I didn’t check the data rate. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. Also, there were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.
