The region surrounding Boulder, Wyoming provides a mix of established campgrounds and dispersed camping options scattered throughout the scenic Wind River Range. Highline Trail RV Park and Wind River View Campground offer developed sites with full hookups for RVs near the town center, while Boulder Lake and North Boulder Lake campgrounds provide more rustic accommodations approximately 8-10 miles from town. The area accommodates tent camping, RV sites with utilities, and several free dispersed camping locations on public lands, particularly along Boulder Lake and the nearby river areas.
Roads leading to camping areas vary significantly in quality, with some requiring high-clearance vehicles, particularly after rain. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from late May through mid-September due to mountain weather conditions. A review noted that "the last two miles of access road is narrow dirt rocky and could be a problem if it rained hard," highlighting the importance of vehicle selection when accessing more remote sites. Cell service is spotty throughout the region, with better connectivity at campgrounds closer to Highway 191. Free dispersed camping on BLM land typically has a 14-day stay limit, while developed campgrounds may require reservations during peak summer months.
Campers consistently mention the impressive mountain views and water access as standout features of the Boulder area. The established RV parks provide amenities like showers, laundry facilities and hookups, while the more primitive sites offer greater privacy and direct lake or river access. One visitor described Boulder Lake as a "great water recreation area" for "swimming and fishing." Some campgrounds experience regular occupancy from local campers, particularly at free sites like Stokes Crossing, which was described as "a local hideout on river" and "one of nature's best kept little secrets." Proximity to the Wind River Range makes these campgrounds popular staging areas for backpacking and day hiking, with several trailheads accessible from camping areas for exploring the surrounding wilderness.

"THE MID campground at Fremont Lake, just outside of Pinedale, WY."

Check Availability"Getting to soda lake was very straight forward and easy out of Pinedale. Very well maintained road."
"The camp sites were wonderful, right on the lake, however the surrounding vegetation doesn't really offer much privacy. Beautiful huge wild Horses also roam around, but they seemed like gentle giants"
"Gravel 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."
"It’s about 10 miles up boulder lake road. Road in good condition, tons of RV and horse trailers coming out. Great location on the lake and campground on the creek."

"Big RVs can not get up here and sites are a decent distance apart. Love being able to hang the hammock and relax. The only reason not a 5 star review is because the trail was in rough shape."

"Super close to the lake."

TravelerFull hookups. Most sites are not level enough for a long coach. Most are fine for tow behinds and fifth wheel. Store, fuel, restaurant. Very friendly people. Camping area is basically a gravel lot with mostly full timers.
TravelerIt’s so fun sitting at the benches provided under the big beautiful shady tree at the riverside being witness to all the fun and friendly townsfolk laughing, socialising and playing sport and we are so grateful for the opportunity the town has afforded us to do so at their free campsite.(donations) Thank you Lander, you have a welcoming and wonderful town.
GuideLander City Park is such a charming little spot! Sleeping right by the river in our RV for free and listening to the water was incredibly peaceful. The grassy tent area is also lovely and lush. Just a heads-up—make sure to pack up your tent by 9am so the sprinklers and mower don’t surprise you. Take a leisurely walk across the beautiful bridge—it’s a great way to enjoy the scenery. And you’ve gotta try breakfast at The Middle Fork restaurant—so delicious! There are bathrooms and a water source nearby in front of the bathroom, and the park is pet-friendly, which is awesome. No hook-ups, but the traffic down the road is pretty light, making for a quiet, restful night. We’ll definitely be coming back here!
Thanks Dyrt for the recommendation!
GuideA well graded gravel road leads from Pinedale, Wy. Only the last half mile to the campground is a little bit rough.
The campground is basic FS fare. Fire rings, bear boxes, pit toilet. There some tree shade. Camp fee is reasonable, $10 per night.
We are in a 28 ft 5th wheel. It's pretty tight.
Willow Lake is beautiful and rumored to be a good fishing lake.
The campground has both sandy and gravel beach areas .
ScoutGreat spot in route. Right off the road yet still quiet. Pit toilets, and picnic tables worked great.
RangerA small campground right on Willow Creek Lake. About 8 or so sites, only 4 are trailer friendly for 30’ or smaller rigs. Vault restrooms and boat ramp. Fairly narrow steepish road the last 1/2 mile. There are a couple of dispersed campsites on either end of the campground that could accommodate larger rigs.
GuideVisited this campground Sept 2026. Summer of 2025 a wildfire burned all the way up one side of the Green River valley. The campground was spared, probably due to heroic efforts by wildland firefighters. It's in one little wedge of green forest in the midst of crispy brown burned forest. The other side of the lake and valley were untouched.
Aside from the burn scars, the setting is beautiful with the broad valley of the Green River and the ridges and mountains, in particular Squaretop Mountain visible to the south.
The campground is somewhat battered from post-fire flooding and runoff. There is mud and charcoal mud washed across the roads and through many of the sites. The CG roads are rutted and have deep potholes; just take it slow. There are many sites that are still in decent shape though. Sites have picnic table, fire ring, and bear box. There aren't tent pads, but some sites are suitable for tents. There are several pull-through sites. The vault toilets are ok. The log cabin ones are pretty dark inside, due to having very small windows. There was no water available when i was there.
Trailhead parking for the CDT is less than 1/2 mile from the CG. It filled up most days I was there. It's nice to hike south along the lake. There are a few destination options for day hikers. I had planned to hike the loop around the lake, but the whole west (?) side was burned so I didn't go there; I just went to the upper lake and back. I saw a person catch a large fish out of the lake.
No cell service. As people have noted, the road from the snowmobile staging area to the CG is rough. Clearance is not a problem, but there is a combination of deep unavoidable potholes, washboard, and rocky road bed. I encountered a few deep mudholes on the way in, but they had dried up when I left a few days later. It took about 1 1/2 hrs to get there, towing a small camper. I aired down the camper tires to soften the ride a little but it's just dang rough and slow going. Make sure you have plenty of gas and supplies.
I tried going here one time in July but the mosquitos were just too much! In September I encountered few bugs at all.
GuideGreat stop on the way to, or out of Jackson. Very clean, level park, with an awesome bathhouse. The town is a 5 minute walk, to pretty good restaurants, convenience stores, and very expensive grocery store. Bring your groceries with you...FYI. Otherwise, there is some hiking nearby, and some really clean mountain lakes to swim and hang out by.
RangerWidely spaced camp sites all around Soda Lake. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Vault Restrooms are located in three or four locations. Boat ramp available. No water or electricity or trash service. About 8 miles out of Pinedale on all weather gravel roads. Some wash boarding when we were there. Very quiet and can accommodate various rig sizes. Weak phone signal. No shade so good Starlink and solar.
