Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with coverage generally more reliable at developed campgrounds closer to towns and spotty or nonexistent in remote forest areas.

    Firehole Canyon Campground

    Great views, garbage management

    The views are amazing. Great areas to walk with your dogs. Expect rattlesnakes. Campground is a US Forest Service site, but it’s contracted to a private company called American Land & Leisure. The have doubled up the sites, yes this means you share everything with another camping group and you pay extra for it! We own this land, pay for up keep, improvements and everything else but we are getting charge crazy rates for nothing extra. Won’t come back.

    Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA

    Great KOA in small town

    We were greeted so warmly by Traci, who with her husband runs the campground. As it is off-season, the campground was empty and Traci helped us pick a sunny site. She also suggested a late afternoon scenic drive nearby. Such a pretty area and the campground is very near. Super clean bathrooms.

    Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA

    Super nice KOA

    This was a super clean and well maintained KOA. Not much traffic at this time of year (early Oct). Laundry was $2 wash and 1.50 dry. Super nice people own. They charge $15 to dump if boondocking nearby. Water is .40c/gallon. They do close middle of Oct for the winter.

    Stateline Cove Campground

    Great Stay!

    We are here at the end of Sept/early Oct 2025 in a 35 ft 5th wheel. We have this place pretty much to ourselves. The "campground" closed mid Sept. During that time it is $21 per night/$10.50 with senior pass. Once it closes it basically becomes boondicking sites and there is no charge. Host was still here packing up and he confirmed this for us. During season, they have several pit toilets and dumpsters. Currently the pit toilets are locked and dumpsters have been removed. There is a KOA down the road with dump ($115), water (.40c/gallon) and laundry. There are no set sites. A sandy road around the area with areas to pull off. Several picnic tables and some fire pits. No camping right on the water but plenty of "sites" with water views. Antelope passing thru throughout the day. Beautiful sunrises and we had a beautiful double rainbow reflecting off both the water and miuntains. Drive here is beautiful as well as the Sheep Creek Scenic Byway. Loved our stay here and will be back.

    Woodruff Narrows Bear Riverside

    Top Spot near Evanston

    Great spot. Easily accessible via a good, easy gravel road. Plenty of spots to choose from. Great view of the lake and the mountains. We really enjoyed the night. We didn't have internet with T-Mobile.

    Woodruff Narrows Bear Riverside

    Peaceful with lake views

    A 4 mile-ish drive off the main road this site is located right next to the lake and has vault toilets. It was lovely and peaceful and we woke up to a lovely sunrise. Road was easy enough to drive on and is quiet.

    Firehole Canyon Campground

    Beautiful place but needs help

    Beautiful area. Is clear that the facility/campground was very nice at one time. All the bathrooms were closed/locked. Campground needs refurbishment. This should’ve been a five star review.

    Little America RV Park - A Traveler's Oasis

    OK in a pinch to spend the night but..

    The place is brand new and the spaces are fairly large but it’s like it was designed by someone that learned about RV parks from AI or magazine articles.

    The signage is inappropriate or nonexistent. The check in building has a sign in front but no RV parking. The RV area has one way streets but no signs telling you which way to go. We got in early and saw at least a dozen rigs come through and leave, only to return several minutes later. Then most circled a couple of times before they parked.

    We have a small motorhome (24’) and tow a wrangler. In eight years we’ve never had such difficulty getting settled as we have here.

    The campsites set wide and long but the services are place strangely. In addition, there are trees planted that block the path to parking near them. We had to use extra long sewer hose, water hose, and electrical cord so we could park far enough away to avoid running our slide into them.

    I would stay here again but I wouldn’t plan on using anything but electricity service.
