Best Campgrounds near Evanston, WY

After a disappointing attempt with another local camp in Fort Bridger, Good Sams, we were surprised by the warm telephone welcome Noreen provided. Process was seamless, and our few minute drive was easy. Once in the office, now about 6:30, Noreen was busy helping other travelers, I meandered into the well stocked store and was greeted by, Hazelys, our first time hearing the name, a delightful young woman who not only provide a pleasant welcoming, but jumped in a golf cart and directed us to our home for the night. Soon I needed remedial help with the electric box and called their number, quickly answered by Cliff who offered to come to our site, but his advice was right on and we remain happy campers. Grateful to all those we had the opportunity to connect with. Stop here on your travels, you will not be disappointed.Thank you.

In all my days as a camper, I have never ever heard the first words from a phone call,“Actually, we are closed!” My surprise when we followed the directions provided and arrived about six PM on a Sunday night, July 6, we missed the turn by about twenty five yards and had to turn around to enter the drive to the camp. Parking in the designated spot, I went to the door to see a very unwelcoming sign, with hours. It was now six 10, The siGN SAID,“NO SELF PARKING, DO NOT CALL AFTER HOURS!” I went back to the camper, and thinking it was only a few minutes after six, I got my phone, walked back to the door with the note, and called. IT WAS SIX 17! The voice answered, with the campground name, and I asked for a full hookup pull through site.(We could see many many open spaces) THATS WHEN I RECEIVED THOSE WORDS, which are hard to forget, especially from a GOOD SAM’S approved camp ground we found in their directory.. So much for friendly service. Six seventeen and“ACTUALLY WE ARE CLOSED! SAD. Good Sam’s adjust your thinking. Campers, if you are not timely, skip this one. I know we will on future trips. Just a few miles away in Lyman, is a very friendly site. Skip Fort Bridger, go to Lyman.

We couldn’t find any information on this campground and found out it’s only a month old, as of July 2025. Previously it was a tent only campground that was ruined by a flood several years ago. It’s now an RV campground with full hook-ups. The campground is very clean and fully functional. The views are fantastic, located on the east side of Jordanelle. The Provo river is runs to the side of the campground and we fished multiple times a day. There’s a launching bay to Jordanelle just a few minutes away. Everything was fantastic except for one uncontrollable thing. MOSQUITOS! I’ve camped in Utah my whole life and this was by far the worst mosquito situation we had. We are covered in hundreds of bites and are totally welted. We were forced to spend many hours in our RV to avoid them.

This campground is a weedy field right next to the interstate for $25. Sites are like parking at a music festival, little to no shade in the sites, no picnic tables in the sites, fire rings old burnt out cut barrels, and very little to no privacy at all. There is a communal picnic shade area but that is not my vibe when camping. I could see it working for a single desperate night for RVs but not for a extended stay. We ended up not staying because of the vibe and the sound of the interstate ( I couldn’t image sleeping in a tent there!) Drove up the road and got a Holiday Inn instead.
