  Fontenelle Creek Campground

  Really nice

  Very open scenery by the lake. BLM sites with a picnic table and roof cover over it. It’s $7 a night a think. Me and my friends cowboy camped here for a night during December, about 4°F with snow on the ground. There is also a boat ramp right next to the campground and you can ice fish on the lake.

  Moose Flat

  Looks okay

  $10 ($5 with pass). Visited on Sept 19, 2024. Did not camp here; just passing through after dispersed camping down the road. Included some photos of the campground for those considering this campground in the future. It looks okay; nothing special. Easy access to Greys River for bank fishing. Vault toilet, well water pump and trash service. Sites looked small at first glance; looks unmaintained, but it's going into the winter season when I visited. Sites include a picnic table and metal fire ring.

  Forest Park

  Nice looking wooded primitive campground

  Visited in mid-September 2024. $10 ($5 with senior pass). Did not camp here; just checking it out. Included some photos in this revciew. Except for one towable camper, I was surprised that no one else was camping here, especially considering it was hunting season. The campground was set back in the trees off of Greys River Road. Lots of trees here; lots of shade. Nice looking campground. Good size sites; appear to be level. Picnic table and fire ring included. Not much privacy between sites, but separation between sites was good. Two clean vault toilets. Hand well water pump. Trash service.  No other amenities. No hook-ups. Campground appears to be well maintained. I would consider camping here in the future.

  Grey's River 10138L Dispersed

  Wonderful Riverside Dispersed Campsite

  Coordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138). Large dispersed site, set back from forest road; no concerns with dust coming into the site from passing vehicles. Should comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 rigs. Clean rock fire ring. Mostly level, dirt surface. Easy access from forest road. Open site surrounded by trees. Next to Grey's River; easy access for bank fishing. There is a set of trees that may accommodate hammock camping. Tent camping also possible. Area can get muddy after rain. Solar recharging possible in middle of afternoon. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Loved this spot.

  Half Moon Lake Campground

  Primitive National Forest Campground with Sandy Beach

  $12 fee. Paid $6 with senior pass. Camped here for a few nights in the middle of September 2024. Camped one night in site #17, then moved the next day to site #13 along the lake. Beautiful wooded campground. Good primitive campground along a beautiful lake. Our site, site#13, backs up to the lake and has a private path to the lake's beach. The campground has a mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Lots of trees on the campground. Several sites have enough foliage between them to offer privacy. Some sites are large; some are small. I didn't see any sites that offer good tent camping opportunities. Most sites are suitable for camper vans, car camping, RTTs and truck campers. I saw one towable. I don't think this campground can easily accommodate large rigs. There are two clean his/hers vault toilets, stock with tp. I couldn't find water. The campground has gravel/dirt roads and site driveways. Each site has a table, metal firering& bearbox. The forest road accessing the campground is gravel. The campground is well maintained. No hiking trails at the campground. The sandy beach on the lake was nice for a stroll. Also tried fishing, but no luck. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Would definitely stay here again.

  Highline Trail RV Park

  Huge spaces, clean and friendly

  Great spot for a stop on your trip or as a base camp for exploring the area. Spaces are big and spread out. Everything was clean and well maintained,

  Big Sandy Dam and Reservoir

  Great spot to pull off for the night!

  Really nice view right by the water with the mountains in the distance. Saw lots of birds, pronghorns, horses, and a couple of jack rabbits. Easy road, good service, picnic area, overall all pretty barebones but nice spot!

  Warren Bridge Campground and Picnic Area

  Nice little campground

  Very nice little off-ish grid campground in Wyoming. The camp host is super nice and there is water spaced out around the campground. All in all a nice place for only an hour south of Jackson Hole. Verizon At&t and Tmobile all had reception.

  Fisherman Creek Road

  Easy to find, plenty of spots

  Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots. The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings. I came in late July and there were lots of motorcycles and ATVs. It was quiet from 7 PM to 7 AM.

  Viva Naughton Marina by PacifiCorp

  All alone and loved it

  Yes, there were mosquitoes, cows, and a bit of green water, but it was very peaceful and beautiful. Whenever the options are a crowded and powered RV campsite versus a peaceful boondock such as this, we opt for the latter. Hope you enjoy it.

  Slate Creek Campground

  Nice peaceful campground

  Small gem along the Green River. Open habitat with cottonwoods and willows. Great birds! And access to river for fishing. Some mosquitos in the evening but not bad. Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stopover here.

  Fontenelle Creek Campground

  Hidden Gem

  This campground has lovely views of the reservoir and was a respite from a long day on the road. As others said it’s a bit dated, treeless and windy. Quiet and peaceful.

  Soda Lake Wildlife Area

  Free camping on a lake

  This area is a wide open no shade glacial pothole lake. There are free designated, kind of, campsites around the lake. Couple places to launch a boat and four vault toilets scattered around. No trash dumpsters, no water, but fair to good cell signal depending on your location. Only a few miles outside of Pinedale on nice graded gravel roads. 14 day camping limit is posted.

  Big Sandy Dam and Reservoir

  Good stars and private but...

  We 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.

  Allred Flat

  Peaceful for an overnight

  Just passing through and only needed to stop for the night. Very peaceful. You could only slightly hear the traffic out at the road. Got a site near the creek. Maybe #11. Vault toilets clean. Only a couple other sites taken. Cheap $5 with senior pass discount. No cell reception for me. Sites are not very private, but with so few people here it didn't make a difference.

  Big Sandy Reservoir

  Camping close Sept 2023

  We dispersed by boat launch. By ourselves on a Wednesday after labor day. Construction at east and west campgrounds. 5g cell T-Mobile. Roads only slightly muddy but after a rain. Yikes.

  Serves its purpose for an overnight spot

  It’s a nice RV and overnight cannot tent spot before you get to Jackson or Yellowstone. Showers and clean bathrooms

  Half Moon WMA - Pole Creek Campground

  First camp, first served

  Quiet site in the Pinedale area, so that's a positive. It's also by a creek, so you have fishing and water. This area is used for fishing, hunting, trapping, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing.

  It’s a rough drive in down the last road. I recommend high clearance, 4WD even better. The main road in is improved gravel and easy, but there are hairpin turns on the hill, so I don't recommend long rigs or long 5th wheels. I went in with a regular clearance front wheel drive, but it was dicey.

  Hams Fork Campground

  Grew up camping here

  I grew up camping here and it’s one of my favorites. I swear there used to be garbages but now there are bear boxes which is great. Some the camp spots are over grown because they don’t get used much.

  Fisherman Creek Road

  Peaceful and quiet

  Found a large spot about a mile up the road, on the left side. The road was pretty good, even for our overloaded car and rented trailer. The spot was large enough to turn around and easily maneuver the trailer. We got there on a Thursday evening at about 8pm. Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening, aside from a deer. The only downside was the crazy amount of mosquitoes. Bring bug spray!

  Fisherman Creek Road

  Quiet, hidden meadows

  There were many available campsites and it’s not far from the main road at all. I had a bar of service via Verizon. Really had the place to ourselves. On the way out, there was a herd of cows blocking the road and some cowboys driving them. But it wasn’t a long roadblock.

  Allred Flat

  Nice small cheap CG

  CG in a narrow forested draw. 32 sites most shaded. Only $10/$5 senior, 14d limit. Vault toilets but no dumpsters and water pump did not work. No cell signal, however STarlink works in site 16 for me. No CG host, some sites have bear boxes.

  This was a great little stop. Really enjoy these BLM campgrounds large pull in spots with water if you need there was a free dump for campers or $ if just using the dump. Right on the river. Had good cell coverage. Would recommend this place.

  Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this RV park in a perfect location to our platform. "From their park you can explore the lakes and back country of the Wind River Mountains, spend time in Pinedale, make a day trip to Jackson and Teton National Park, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful setting they offer." Let’s help them out and leave some reviews!

  Wind River View Campground

  Nice Campground

  Really nice campground. Has beautiful view of the Wind River Range. Nice, easy-going host. Only downside would be the road noise, but that's not real bad.
