Best Campgrounds near Farson, WY

Got to the West Campground at dusk. Bugs were swarming. The view of the Wind River range at sunset is gorgeous. Not too many campers.

We are into some truck issues when passing through and had to find a place to stay for a few days. This worked out great. We had a 24 ft camper and trailer with two side by sides. We had plenty of room for both. Lots of places to choose from. All open and easy to turn around campers. Road was in good shape. No issues with a Tahoe pulling camper. The views were great but it was windy. We could ride the ATVs from campsite and had hundreds of miles of trails to choose from. Saw wild horses.

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.

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).

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.

It's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility

Why is this even on this app?!

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!

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.

It’s a nice enough lake, if you like mice! I caught 11 in 2 nights. We’re leaving this rodent infested area!!

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!!

Our 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.

Convenient 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.

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.

This 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.
