The location on the Dyrt app was incorrect. I googled and found it very close. Wide open area, all gravel, easy parking. The price was $49 per night but they honored the $30 listed. Caretakers very nice and friendly.
Guide
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.
Scout
Staff was lovely and accommodating. They upgraded us to FHU at no addl charge since the site we had booked was closed for the season. Yeah there is some highway noise, which i suspect would be more problematic in a tent. We're going to stay here on our way back as well, and drive the Pilot Butte Scenic loop to look for wild horses!

Stayed at site #5 on Sept 16, 2024. Paid $42.90. Made reservation over the phone. Normally don't camp in RV parks with our camper van, but it was getting late and needed an overnight place to stay with very few options available in the area. The stay was okay; probbaly won't stay here again. Sites were close together. The campground has water and electric hookups; worked just fine. No reastroom/shower house; told that these amaneities are planned. Campground is a typical RV park with sites close to each other with no privacy. It is in a large flat open field. Some young trees were planted. Campground road and site driveways were gravel. I believe all of the sites are back-in. A few long term residents appear to be staying there in their big rigs. One of these residents, who was close behind us, woke us up at 4:20am when he started up his loud pickup truck and let it run for several minutes before departing (IMO, not good campground etiquette). Other than that, no complaints. Being a van camper, I'm nuetral about this campground. It satisfied my immediate needs at the time (simple overnight stay).
Scout
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,
Scout
It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.
TravelerIt's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility
Why is this even on this app?!
Guide
OHV trail. Many side pullouts. Quiet, dusty, beautiful views On a butte so windy. One OHV passed before dusk on a Friday night. Otherwise all by myself. Accessible with fro t wheel Promaster. Go slow
Guide
Very nice small FCFS campground. Clean pit toilets, water (can attach hose to fill tank). Quiet spot, good spacing between sites. Host was great - took good care and offered great suggestions on things to do in the area
Traveler
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!
TravelerWide open BLM land. This particular spot is easily accessible, although I couldn't tell how friendly other campers were and you have to drive over sagebrush to really pull off the road if the one or two real pull offs are occupied. I ended up driving around rutted and rocky roads off the ones that are on Google maps, trying to find a good pull off but the few there are were already occupied, some by folks that seemed to have been there for a while. Some of the side roads were really rough and I was lucky to make it through them in my Subaru, although any vehicle could handle the main road to the spot tagged here.
It's also really exposed to the wind and elements with no trees. It's up pretty high and there's not really any wind break from the landscape. Very cold in mid September but I'd imagine really hot at times in the summer. I may have hit it at a particularly windy time but it definitely nearly made me look for an alternative spot, of which options are limited in the area.
Aside from that it was beautiful. Moon gazing and sunset and sunrise, smelled heavenly of sagebrush. I wouldn't count on seeing wild horses here- I read that recently they've been pushed out but you can look for them further east.
ScoutNot level but tons of space. Several other rigs here and no one is close to each other. Getting over 400mbs on T-Mobile 5g
TravelerNice, clean, and quiet. This campground is a high quality BLM site. Spaced out well, in the pine trees. Beats crowded, packed in gravel CG's any day. The GPS coordinates posted are wrong. Use these instead. 42.305400 N 108432568 W at 8,219 ft. elevation. The camp host gave us things to do, and directions. We didn't go to "Miners Delight", but did go to "Atlantic City", and "South Pass City". Atlantic City has a walking tour map, that can be picked up on Main street near the Mercantile location. It was fun to follow the map and see the sites. South Pass City has a restored mining town section. Very interesting to see. It's more of a museum setting, vs the usual souvenir selling tourist trap. Fun to explore and see how the miners lived back then. Highly recommend.
TravelerWe decided on a rim to checkout out this location and we are glad we did! We arrived to the campground around 7:00 pm without a reservation and easily found the home where the caretakers stay. The nicest couple assisted us and were even going to let us park for free, but we decided to take advantage of the $17 full RV hookup spot just to conserve power and refill our water tank. We parked super close to the bathrooms which were nice with each room having its own toilet and shower. There were other campers and RVs there but we still felt like we had plenty of space. The free wifi was a nice touch!
Traveler
Only stayed a night, got in at 9pm and left around 8am. Peaceful and quiet with no one else around. No mice, just some moths. Had some great views when the sun came up! Also great fishing at the reservoir!
Scout
It is very close to the interstate and thus noisy. Laundry worked quite well and we got a 5 dollar discount being a senior citizen over 52, lol. Showers are clean, but waterpresure is low, so it takes a bit to wash out shampoo.
GuideIt’s a nice enough lake, if you like mice! I caught 11 in 2 nights. We’re leaving this rodent infested area!!
Guide
Nice area if you like mice. I always set traps out everywhere we go, caught 4 the 1st night, 7 the next. We’re leaving this rodent infested place!!
LegendOur Ford navigation was having a bad day and wanted us to take Exit 91 from I-80 west bound to get to the campground (CG). That exit would have you going through the middle of town, but the alternate navigation we always run(either Waze and/or Google Maps) brought us to the correct exit for the CG. We double-checked the website and verified they are located right off of I-80 at Exit 85 (east bound) or 89(west bound). When we got to the CG, another rig was checking in, so we had to sit on the somewhat busy road until we could make the turn on the street for the CG office. The lady checking us in was super friendly and we proceeded to the upper E section to pull through site 11 with FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and our F450. The utilities worked fine but we needed a reducer as the water pressure was around 100 psi. We read reviews concerning low water pressure and they were working on the waterline in the CG so be aware. There are trees in or near most of the sites. We put our Starlink in the front part of the pad for a northern sky shot. There are 34 sites in the E section; 19 pull-throughs plus 10 small back-ins and 4 tent sites on the back fence where I-80 runs(you will hear road noise anywhere in this CG. There’s a bathhouse and a small fenced dog area. While we were here for 3 days, the poop bag dispenser was empty and the regular-sized garbage can in the dog area was 1/2 full of poop bags. The laundry facility is in the bottom section where the larger back-in sites/permanent party are located. We checked out the public river access at the end of the road down from where the office is located. You could launch a kayak, but there isn’t much parking. After trying to log into the CG WiFi several times, we connected and the WiFi was not good. We got 3 bars on Verizon. One of the transient workers started a loud diesel truck and let it run a long time before departing each morning. Unfortunately, this is a typical occurrence in these types of CGs. We were impressed with the local area brochures they gave us on local dining and the wild horses. They have 24-hour laundry and showers in the CG. In our humble opinion, the best thing about this CG was the coffee and craft beer on draft at the office. They have 4 craft beers on draft and you can get a flight for$5. The coffee and draft beers at the officer are worth checking out. Try a burger on a cornmeal bun at Broadway Burger Station in Rock Springs. This CG was okay for an overnighter or a couple of days at most.
GuideThe campground is fine. However, we had a pull through and the area we were in they put one camper faced one way and another faced the other way to maximize hook ups in between two units. Results in your campside facing a neighbor campside. Might feel awkward if you are trying to enjoy the outside. The bathrooms looked clean and everything else seems fine. An area plus is an local drive to see wild horses. we did and and saw some.
Scoutthere were only 2 other groups here when we arrived late last night. Didn’t get to see any wild horses but the sunrise was stunning. Pretty good Verizon phone service too
TravelerConvenient location. Kind of. 374 is closed for several miles just northwest of here - we came from that direction so had to hop on 80 and backtrack a little after hitting town.
It’s a great spot if it fits your needs but it’s mostly pavement and amenities. The tent and back in sites are closest to the highway noise. But doesn’t matter because everyone gets the noise. Probably want earplugs, a fan, or a/c.
Guide
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.
ScoutThis 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.
Guide
A great little spot with a wonderful view. Little bit or driving on a rough dirt road. Would go to this spot again, would not go back for rent camping though. Too windy
ScoutNot too busy, terrific views of the city below. Great experience, great site. Would recommend
ScoutA little bit more breezy and cool than down below. Lots of great places to pull over. Great views.
