Best Campgrounds near Evanston, WY

There are camp-sights on blacktop and on dirt. There is a boat ramp, store, dump station…It’s not bad.

Stayed in spot 28 which was good and had view of lake until neighbor pulled in with a giant 5th wheel. Spot 19 is in the middle and seems to have a good view regardless of who is parked in adjacent spots, and spot 32 also seems to have a good view and the advantage of being on the outer edge so no backdoor neighbors. Park has a general store but we did not go inside. Bathrooms/showers are decent with sufficient hot water, but are not as nice as those at Wasatch Mtn. 

Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra packet of ready-to-eat Wal Mart chicken added and it was good. Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Spiced both up with garlic powder.

Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra Wal Mart packet of chicken added and it was good and low FQ (fart quotient). Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Always add garlic powder, perhaps smoked paprika.

It’s very quiet and pretty here. You have the water on the river at the bottom of the dam Spaces aren’t to close. It’s beautiful

This campground has many spots! They were all clean and convenient. If you stay on the northern side of the campground, expect to hear cars and trucks through the night. I stayed in spot 31 which was spacious and right next to a little stream. The lake is close by and accessible by a trail in between two campsites. I heard a pack of wolves howling right around sunset but seemed a decent distance away. Definitely chilly at night time, but that’s expected this time of year. Highly recommended :)

We have been coming here for over 25 years. It was a membership campground until about 5 years ago when Sun Outdoors took over. While there have been some improvements, it has been sorely lacking in maintenance. In addition, management doesn’t appear to have much motivation to enforce rules that made this a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay.

We camped here at the end of August, and the weather was perfect, chilly at night but not horrible!

This is a hike in area of camping. Luckily the park provides free wagons so that you can pack up and hike to your area. The hike is about a quarter mile to the general area where there are lots. This area is tent camping only. The views are great and the water is great! It is dog friendly with a leash. Each lot has a paved area with a picnic bench and fire pit. Really enjoyed this place!

F150 with aftermarket tires - 19' travel trailer with 225/75/15 tires.

The initial road turn off is VERY easy to miss. If you're coming West on HWY150 and you see the brown Moosehorn sign, you've missed it. It's around Mile Marker 31 and the first 30' looks like it was paved at one point. It's just debris and potholes now. 

The start is a little bit tight and rocky, but slow and steady gets you thru it. There is a first camp off to the right for an RV with level ground, loop to turn around. This one was taken and so I continued down towards the lake overlook. It's difficult to get level (I'm not really level right now lots of blocks, chocks, and rocks) but I don't care, the view is amazing. Great Starlink/Solar connection

High in August was getting to 75 and the low at night was not as cold as the lowlands of Uintas.

We could not have asked for a more perfect spot. The views were immaculate, the sites were very spread out, it was the end of September and all the leaves were changing.

No notes. Can’t recommend this spot enough.

We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

We got site 12, which worked great for us. The site has 3 spots for tents ranging from 3 person to 6 person, but we used the parking space because we have a giant tent

The north end of the loop by the lake is the best spots. 16, 17, and the others right by the lake. I’d avoid the spots closest to the highway, not because of the noise, but because they’re VERY sloped, kinda looked hard to set up there.

Pit toilets, so be prepared for that.

Bugs weren’t to bad honestly. We had a fire going and Thermacell so mosquitos didn’t bother us.

Moosehorn Lake is GORGEOUS. We didnt fish but we heard it was good fishing.

This site is maybe 1 mile up the road from Mirror Lake which is a must-see. Very easy walking trail around the lake, perfect for small kids

The site host was great, very helpful, nice person

It was PACKED tho. Every single spot was taken when we got there and we got lucky finding a spot for 2 nights. Try to get a reservation if you can. We only got in due to a last minute cancellation.

And I got it at fossil butte. At north end of park is a 17% grade loose gravel narrow road with two hairpins - good luck! But northern end of park boundary is well marked. Dark dark sky and unbelievably quiet.

We found a FF site right by the creek, close to the cold canyon waterfall trail head. The water levels were high so the creek was running pretty fast which made it loud but honestly it drowned out any noise from neighbors a it was perfect. Love the hikes, love the shade, just an awesome camp site.

Toilets flush! Just gotta bring a light

Close enough to drive to town for anything you might have forgotten.

Definitely rough reading for a portion of it. Lots of mosquitos. But super pretty and secluded. There were several spots that provide you with your own area and privacy. Bathrooms only about a 5 minute drive away. I had zero service though. Great spot and would come back again.

There are tons of free site all up and down the main road. The only problem is it is busy if you leave on Friday plan to get there by 3 at the latest. Spots fill quick.

Great campsites next to the lake. Excellent views and quiet. Only saw a couple other campers off in the distance. Lots of birds and ducks to watch.

Saw a moose way off in the distance.

This is a great Basecamp to explore the Uintahs. Note that there is no easy river access from any of the sites we explored. This is partly due to the overgrowth and partly due to all of the water in mid June. We made it from our camp spot (#11) but it required crossing logs, bogs, streams, and bushwhacking.

That said, it’s a clean campground in a great setting. The sound of the river drowns out most of the highway noise this time of year, and it’s a great jumping off point for exploring the lakes and falls farther up the Mirror Lake Highway.

Note zero Verizon cell service in the campground.

Didn’t see the campground hosts once in a 3-day weekend stay (always a nice little bonus).
