Green River Lakes Road
On the Green River
This is a wide open dispersed location along the Green River. You might be competing with free grazing cattle, but they're respectful. It's a beautiful spot. The road in is washboard, so be patient.

White Pine Wyoming, Ski and Summer Resort
Summer use also!
This ski area has developed summer camping options. There is a camping area with several tent cabins, teepees, and 6 RV spots. Also a general tent camping area. Shower house is available to campers or $5 fee if just buying a shower. The 6 RV spots are very tight together and have zero shade (hence the three stars). RV spots with water and electric are $30, $20 no hookups. Tent cabins and teepees $30, bring your own tent $12. There are hiking and Mt biking trails for summer use. However, Fremont CG and Trails End CG are only $12/$6 senior per nite for "dry" RV camping and that is likely why the camping area at white pine was completely empty on a week in July. Too bad as it is a small local operation...but the close proximity to FS CGs is too much.

Sweet people and a nice overnighter
Really nice people. Helped us out in a jam. Clean bathrooms and showers. Full hook ups.

Dutch Joe Guard Station Campground
Undeveloped camp area
Well, the BLM has a fancy new sign at this location, but there really is no CG, just a large open grassy meadow area. No toilet, no water, trash or tables, fire rings. The info sign says stay in designated sites but I did not seem any sign of that arrangement. This cg may be a work in progress. However this is on the road to the Big Sandy FS cg at the roads end and would be a much better haul/ camp site for a TT than going the last 7 rough rocky miles to Big Sandy.

Scab Creek - Large Vehicle Campground
Open area for the horse crowd
Open sunny Campground for the horse trailer crowd or larger RVs. However, no water, trash or toilets. Water and a vault toilet is over at the horse staging area across the road. Cell signal depends on your sight to a ridge to SE.

Good for what we needed
Quaint place with full hookups and amenities. The men's bathroom was quite dirty but the owners were friendly and the wifi worked well.

Hobble Creek
Nice and Quiet
Nice little campground with plenty of space between campsites. Kids and dogs had fun playing in the nearby creek (water is very cold), with lots of great hiking opportunities.
I had no problems pulling my 26' TT into here, but I don't know if I would attempt to bring anything in much larger than that.
Added bonus, there were a lot of wild strawberries and raspberries in the area.

Spring Creek Trailhead
Solitude !
Great dispersed camping area. Appears to be used by a lot of hunters. There is a nice big picnic table at one site and a few spots with campfire rings and meat poles. There are no other amenities. The Greys River is right near camp as well as Spring Creek. The Spring Creek Falls trailhead has a river crossing at the 2 mile mark, sign states it is 5 miles to the falls. I didn’t venture further than that. I stayed at this campground because I was hiking up Wyoming Peak in the morning. Wyoming Peak was a wonderful hike, highly recommend! This summer has had the most amazing wildflowers!

Cottonwood Group Campsite
Ranger Review: Humangear at Cottonwood Lake Campground
Campground Review: As you enter the forest boundary, there is a sign alerting you to road damage. The road is pretty rough getting into the campground. You will encounter some pretty significant potholes and washouts. Just take it slow, you’ll be fine. Also, the campground is not on the lake, it is about a 1/4 mile from the lake. The campground is quite nice back in the trees. There are 2 separate forks, one for equestrians and the other allows off-road vehicles.
I camped at site 13. It was near the water supply and a couple sites away from the restroom. It was also very close to the ORV trailhead. The only bear boxes are located by the restroom, which I though was unusual. I just made sure any food items were stored away in my vehicle and locked vs storing in the bear box. The campground was about half full on a Friday. The group site does require a reservation. The site I occupied had a small iron fire ring with a grill component. Some other sites had much larger cement fire rings. The lake is spectacular! it is the prettiest shade of teal. There is a boat dock at the far end of the lake. Near the parking area there is a beach area where you can kayak and paddle board from. The lake has brown and cutthroat trout. They were jumping like crazy in the evening and the fly fishing was excellent! I used my favorite yellow caddis. It was a little more difficult from shore but the boaters were killing it. I could have easily spent the whole weekend up here. My reason for visiting this area was to get away from the madness of the Lincoln County Fair that I was in the area attending and supporting my kids in 4-H. I prefer the solitude of camping in the forest ca the commercial campground at the fairgrounds.
This campground is recommended it you are interested in the following: horseback riding, fly fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, hiking, ORV, wildlife viewing. Something for everyone!
Gear Review: Humangear http://www.humangear.com/ Quick Bites, Go-Tubes, FlexiBowl. As a Ranger with the Dyrt, I occasionally receive gear to field test while camping. While planning for this trip, I brought some easy dinner items to quickly toss together. Prior to leaving, I mixed up some sauce at home and transported it in my GoTube. It was perfect! The opening to the soft silicone container is nice and wide. I added some chili sauce, soy sauce, and Sriracha to the tube and replaced the lid and shook it to mix. The lid has a nice mechanism that will lock the lid to prevent it from opening during transport. When squeezed, the contents are very controlled and there is no drip once you release. I used the FlexiBowl to mix up my concoction at camp. I emptied a tin of canned chicken int the bowel. The top inch or so of the bowel will fold down to create a wider opening. I used my Go-Bites spork to mix the sauce i brought with the chicken. I ate this on crackers. It was delicious after a long day. Pardon my dark demo video, it was 9 pm when I got around to eating. Prior to having the Humangear Go-Bites double ended spork, I had a light my fire spork. I was doing a side by side demo of the strength and barely put any effort on the ends of the light my fire sport and it split in two. I'm a fan of the Humangear eating utensils. I have also use the DuoBites which are a fork and spoon that slide into each other for transport and so they stay together. I really like both utensils that i have tried! I also have to throw in a GREAT word for the Humangear CapCap! This is a huge step up in my Nalgene game! I don't know how i got by without one! No more spills down the front of my shirt! Bonus!

Hobble Creek
Lake Alice is spectacular!
Decent campground in a remote area. No facilities. Camp is located near the trailhead to Lake Alice. You need to cross Hobble Creek to get to the campground, which can be very high in early summer. Usually roads are not passable until almost July. Great place!
