2. Tail Race Campground
1 Review•8 Photos•10 SavesKemmerer, WyomingThe Tail Race Campground features three campsites with fire rings and a vault toilet. This campground is wedged between Fontenelle Reservoir and Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, and so makes a fantastic site for birding, fishing, or non-motorized water sports. Historically, this area was a gathering place for trappers during their annual rendezvous, and the modern day explorer can still see the lure of such a rich and welcoming area.

An easy stop
The Travel Camp is a good place to stop if you’re short on options and don’t want to remove yourself too far from I-80. There are about 8 tent sites: basic sand-filled plot, grill, showers, and toilets nearby. The sand is hard so you better have a decent sleeping pad. The office closes at eight, so you need to check in before then- $27.50 for one night of tent camping. The highway is very close so you will definitely hear trucks throughout the night and sometimes the ground may rumble a bit. I was hoping to camp in a dispersed site but I couldn’t locate anything nearby, so the Travel Camp proved a welcome option as night fell.

Relax to the highway noise.
Picture a bit of ground between a fence and a pile of wood with the sounds of trucks whirling past. If that sounds good to you then this is your place!
Why do highway campgrounds give tent campers the stick? Seriously? The tent sites are along a fence bordering the highway... at least put the tents on the other side of the campground and put the RVs with insolation along the busy road. We were travelling across the US and called ahead and booked a tent site and when we arrived late we were directed down two closed roads by Google and another by Apple Maps... finally we arrived at this place and we were very disappointed with the tent site.
The bathrooms were very clean and new and the whole place looks as if it is undergoing a major revamp, but if you have a tent I might think twice.

Weeping Rock Campground
Great little campground below Fontenelle dam.
Different sized sites to accommodate tent camping or RV. River access and great fishing. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings that include a cooking grate. Many sites also have a grill. Campground is pet and ATV friendly. Nice little camping spot, does get busy on the weekends.

Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey
Good Overnight KOA
Everything you need for a good overnight stay, or launching pad is here. They have full hookups, partial hookups, awesome tent sites, cabins and a sizable area for full timers. There’s a pool, dog park, washers and dryers and a playground.
The staff is VERY nice and accommodating.

Good stop for “along the way”
This is a “Journey” KOA and is being rated as such. The spaces are very close together and they pull neighbors in alternating directions so that you’re facing a neighbor’s front door when you come out of yours, minimizing privacy if you want to eat or cook outdoors. There are some premium spaces with fences and patios but they were all booked. The tent sites look very private with nice grass pads. The trailer sites are all gravel and dusty, but it’s pretty standard. Easy access off the highway and we didn’t experience any noise. The back of the property is very scenic with some off-roaring and hiking trails. If you’re in partial hook ups in the front of the grounds, you’ll be abutting the petroleum factory. The community showers and restrooms seemed pretty clean and well maintained. The laundry was basic and mostly functioning (a few out of order machines), but we did our laundry with no issue. The pool is small but clean and a good temperature. Staff is friendly and the office store is stocked. The area is very nearby to the Northern end of Flaming Gorge NRA which is pretty awesome. Plenty of other things to do nearby, though the towns of Rock Springs and Green River are a little lacking. Guests are mostly transient and, though the park filled up each day, it mostly cleared out by the following morning. Very convenient along the way stop but also nice for an extra night or two to explore the area! Ask in the office for some tips on places to explore.

Okay for a Short Stay
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.

Boulder Lake
Peaceful sites between the lake and two trails
Gravel access road from the Boukder Wyoming area. Limited number of established sites in the formal campgound loop. Other folks camp near the Boulder Creek trailhead.
Pit toilets, gravel parking, trail map displays. Picnic tables and fire rings. Suited for tents and smaller RVs. Bigger RVs camp near the trailhead parking area.
The two trails up Boukder Creek and to Blueberry Lake go up into the Bridger Wilderness. Bring bear spray and fishing rods.

Cute Tent Sites!
Standard KOA facilities. Very nice tent spots. Headed to the campground after a long day of driving and was pleasantly surprised to find fenced in tent spaces with plots of grass for the tents and an aspen in each lot! Water and electricity available in the spot also!

It might be right off the freeway in the middle of Wyoming sparseness but it was a pleasure to stay here for the night. Clean facilities and bathroom, laundry room, exercise room. We stayed at a deluxe spot with a concrete pad and privacy fence. Staff was kind and very helpful. Good stop when you are tired and need to stay somewhere nice.

Quick stop
Just traveling though. Here for the night. Super easy check in. Friendly staff. Was pretty empty. Little highway noise but not too bad. Slept just fine in the roof top tent. Not a ton of bugs. Few skeeters and moths but not as bad as the last place we stayed in

One night to start our trip
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!
David M.TravelerGreen River RB Park
Close to the highway!
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.

Fontenelle Creek Campground
Paved sites by a reservoir
There are not many campgrounds in this part of Wyoming. This is a BLM facility with paved sites, a metal shade by the picnic table, barbecue grills, garbage, potable water and flush toilets. All this for $7 per site. There is fishing here and a boat ramp. Our 24’ pop up truck camper had more than enough room. There are two handicap access sites and restrooms. It was barren with few trees but it was clean and a great deal for the price. There were only a few people when we were there in very early October 2020. There are 55 sites.

Meh
The host was honest, and went out of her way to help us, as we were pulling in late. That being said, the best thing about it was the bathrooms. We were tenting, and found ourselves in nothing special. A place to throw down, and that’s about all. It’s convenient proximity to the interstate was nice, but the noise from the interstate was NOT. In all, the price was okay, and it provided a place to sleep. The access to electric was a bonus.

Big Sandy Campground — Bridger Teton National Forest
Big Sandy Opening dispersed site
The area is a vast wonderland, endless in its possibilities for recreational opportunities. Fishing, Hiking or just relaxing and contemplating on how great life is right at this second. 1st off, you are on your own, no stores or markets to aid you if you forgot something. Pack wisely. 2nd temperatures can vary wildly in Wyoming, especially at altitude, so be prepared for cool nights and when day hiking. Skeeters can be fierce. Pack out everything and leave it better than you found it. Our camp was Dry primitive camp with a preestablished rock fire ring right by the river. Not much shade but that was fine. Up the road would be a good flat place for RV's as ours had a small spring which may cause trailers to get hung up on. There is a lodge, but I don't know if it has anything for sale besides cabins. Be prepared for a long fairly decent maintained dirt road. Enjoy.

Easy place to crash between Denver and Jackson Hole WY
We just needed a quick place to crash on the way from Denver to Jackson Hole Wy area. We didn't want to make the full drive at once since we needed to set up a campsite when we got there, so we stopped here.
It had snowed the night before and it was cold. However, the fences protect the campsites for the tent campers, so we didn't feel the wind at all. We were so well protected. We were even able to pull our car in front of the site, and this blocked our site from view of others.
The facilities were nice: bathrooms were spotless and there were laundry facilities and many other things.
There was even a cute dog park that we could exercise our husky in. He was happy :). Plus, the fencing around the campsite allowed us to set up a nice dog run for him.
The people were very nice when checking in, and it was very organized.
We would stay there again!

Big Sandy Dam and Reservoir
Good stars and private but...
We arrived at night and found a spot pretty easily. The next morning, we tried to venture outside and the mosquitos were coming in thick swarms. We ran back to the camper trying to avoid the ridiculous amount of cow patties. The dogs were snatching the dried ones up as we ran further exacerbating the trauma. 😂. Our one dog fell 10 feet into the Reservoir because the edges are not sturdy. We had a hard time getting him out as the walls are straight up. We were afraid he was going to get sucked into the spillway. Needless to say, go further than we did if you want to stay here. Not sure what it is like, but it's bound to be better.
Ella C.TravelerBig Sandy Dam and Reservoir
Great spot to pull off for the night!
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!

Not to camp but to take the fourwheelers out on

Super fun recreational place!
I’ve lived near here for years and this weekend was my first visit. The dunes are amazing!! Bring your dirt bike, side by side or other ORV and play your heart out!
The camping area offers sites with a picnic table and grills available. Sites are spaced adequately but there is no vegetation coverage or anything separating the area. No water available or any other amenities.

Dutch Joe Guard Station Campground
Undeveloped camp area
Well, the BLM has a fancy new sign at this location, but there really is no CG, just a large open grassy meadow area. No toilet, no water, trash or tables, fire rings. The info sign says stay in designated sites but I did not seem any sign of that arrangement. This cg may be a work in progress. However this is on the road to the Big Sandy FS cg at the roads end and would be a much better haul/ camp site for a TT than going the last 7 rough rocky miles to Big Sandy.

Pretty spot witch excellent fishing
This camp is just below the Fontenell reservoir dam. There are a lot of cottonwood trees. This campsite gets busy on the weekends.

Amazing spot for me and my buddy from Fort Collins
We camped on the way back from Yellowstone here one night and it was absolutely amazing. Easy well maintained dirt road on the way in and there is a dumpster and bathroom you can use on the main campground. Didn’t check to see if they had showers pretty sure they don’t. Great spot will plan on going back
