    Worthen Meadow Campground

    Pretty, quiet campground

    Peaceful lakeside spot – stayed here for one night while passing through the area. Loved the sunrise over the lake and the privacy of the sites. Quiet place to camp, even though there were a lot of groups there when we arrived, we had no trouble finding a spot. Pit toilet on-site and walking trails around the lake are close by.

    Scab Creek - Large Vehicle Campground

    Open area for the horse crowd

    Open sunny Campground for the horse trailer crowd or larger RVs. However, no water, trash or toilets. Water and a vault toilet is over at the horse staging area across the road. Cell signal depends on your sight to a ridge to SE.

    Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds

    Welcome stopover and gateway to Yellowstone country

    Warm respite for weary travelers after 3 days of primitive camping and 8 hours crossing the Great Divide Basin desert following in the path of westward emigrant trails. The caretakers (just follow the signs) were amazing, invited me into their home, and treated me like a good neighbor. We arrived on the final night of the Sweetwater County Fair – aka ‘The Big Show’ – so we were treated to an awesome fireworks display (Wyoming!) $34/night for full camper hookups (water, sewer, 15A & 30A), hot showers, trash services, and they have ample stalls, so no pre-reservations are required.

    Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds

    Basic overnight stop

    With a nice view of a beautiful Wyoming mountain ridge, this is basically a massive RV park for events at the events center. It is close to I-80 behind an industrial park, so not an "unspoiled nature" experience by any stretch.

    Well maintained 15/30/50 amp and water hookups. Round gravel surface (not sharp gravel, more like river gravel) with good drainage. Stopped here overnight to ride out a rainstorm. A little muddy in spots.

    The caretaker and her husband were lovely folks and invited me into their warm and charming country home to pay for the site, where chicken and dumplings were cooking. They let my pup play in their yard with their pups for a few minutes. You can't plan or buy warm experiences with nice folks like that.

    Good spot to stop and rest for the night on 80. Lots of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in the area.

    Kiteboarders Dream

    I love this spot. I live in Jackson, WY, and come to kiteboard here all the time in the summer.  Good thermal wind you can rely on in the afternoon, wild horses, and a view of the Winds. Pretty remote and I am usually the only one here. If you are a kiteboarder and want to ride look me up!

    White Mountain Road

    Lots of space but windy

    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.

    Beautiful

    There 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.

    Big Sandy Reservoir Rec Area

    Super private and great access to the water

    Super private area with great access to the reservoir. We swam most of the afternoon. My car battery died while I was there and there was absolutely no one around - thank goodness for a man named James who worked in the area. He had jumper cables and got me out of a tough situation. There's also service by the road, just not at the individual sites.
