"Very windy but it’s Wyoming; about 11am-dusk. Lots of great rockhounding in the area. BLM land; so 14 day limit. Would definitely return."
"We just drove around the lake to the camping area that was marked right on Google maps. There was about 10 spots with a covered area and picnic table, all near an outhouse."
"We dispersed by boat launch. By ourselves on a Wednesday after labor day. Construction at east and west campgrounds. 5g cell T-Mobile. Roads only slightly muddy but after a rain. Yikes."
"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!"
"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."
"from the east was pretty easy though bumpy and on a climb it’s more difficult to slow roll, sites are pretty easy to find using different tools but the main area really only has one spot for anything around"
"Easy dirt road access to many camping spots. Att had great service, very windy and some road noise from the interstate. 10/10 would recommend."
"Wide open BLM land."
"If the White Mountain spots are taken this is a good backup. On the down side there is a lot of glass at this site so stay close to the road. Cool overlook into the town."
"Campsites are dispersed. Some have firepits and tent pads built. All accessible with a 2WD car. Amazing views, but still warm in September. Great climbing location also."

And sprinklers... be aware, you might get a wet tent (see video)"

"These primitive sites around the Christina Lake trailhead are open and made for larger RV's and equine trailers."

"If you drive further along FR 300 there are many dispersed free camp areas."
LegendThis is just a single BLM camp site at the end of a dirt road at the Boulder Lake Dam. Table, fire ring and a old stinky vault toilet. No water, no trash and the road in is narrow and.lumpy and I would not haul in a TT or RV. However it does have a nice view looking up Boulder Lake. Note that there is no road across the dam no matter what Google maps says!. Cell signal is marginal.
GuideWe stayed at a campground in town for what was going yo be a night and scouted the area out. We are about 60’ truck and fifthwheel. The road up coming from the east was pretty easy though bumpy and on a climb it’s more difficult to slow roll, sites are pretty easy to find using different tools but the main area really only has one spot for anything around 40’ to be able to easily turn around without driving off the packed road. Theres a T-Mobile tower not far off though so if you need internet it’s great service. It’s very very dry up there and they had a fire pickup a couple days after we left. The view is incredible and they have nice firepits but it’s not a Spot you’d want to venture far at night and navigate to. Be careful if you put in your gps coming from the east! It takes you to a dirt road with a 27% grade up and over the mountain! Don’t try to drive down it with a big rig!
TravelerThere are many types of camping areas with a variety of ground. This beach area was beautiful. We were greeted with a huge herd of sheep one afternoon. Lots of wildlife. Very windy but it’s Wyoming; about 11am-dusk. Lots of great rockhounding in the area. BLM land; so 14 day limit. Would definitely return.
LegendThis area is noted as the backpacker parking area to access the wilderness trails above Boulder Lake. It is just outside of the developed Boulder Lake CG. However this area is also a popular free dispersed camp area for TTs and RVs as the regular campground is a bit tight for larger TTs and RVs and the loop Rd in the campground is terrible. So folks camp out here on the open flat grassy area, and as a bonus there is a grassy boat launch area good for kayaks and other water craft. No potable water, no toilets, no trash dumpsters, no tables or fire rings. 14d limit and the rangers do come around to check I hear. There is a toilet up the hill at the packstock staging parking area.
TravelerThere is a dispersed camping area east of Frye Lake CG off Louis Lake Rd on Forest Road 3001L.
This road has maybe half a dozen camping spots along an incredibly rocky road. We were happy our AWD van was lifted with a special shock kit. At the end of the road, there is a sort of flat field.
There is no lake access via car, but you can walk up to the top of the dam.
So if you want free camping, this works. But it isn’t as the review below describes.
ScoutCost is $5 but has fire rings and Outhouse. Views are amazing, There are about 15 spots available for big rigs, Road in from Landers is all paved. No cell service. If you drive further along FR 300 there are many dispersed free camp areas.

GuideA 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
GuideLarge enough for multiple rigs. Cool overlook down to Green River. Quiet. If this site is full there are other areas to you can pull into. Dirt road with some washboards and ruts.
