Best Campgrounds near Fort Bridger, WY

Forest service (dirt) road leading to Lost Dog day use area in Flaming Gorge. There are places along the road to pull off and boondock, with great sunrise and sunset views and occasional glimpses of the gorge. looks like it might be dicey after heavy rain

The site overseer Tony was helpful, and professional. The grounds maintained. The bathrooms well stocked, clean and offer good hot water pressure for showers. The tent site is large, grass and away from the RV sites. Definitely a spot we will stay again. Note the site offices close at 7pm. We had no reservations so you must arrive before 7pm. Our visit late late September 2024

Arrived on a Friday afternoon and snagged a spot with a great view but no shade, which was fine with me. The site was nice and flat with a fire circle. The road in was a bit rough because Google maps send me the back way and not on 150. I could see neighbors but not hear them. Minus one star for the tough access after rain and for the reservoir being dry on the end of this particular spot.

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.

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.

Ok, why would anyone pay $175-$285 a night to stay in old smelly FS bunkhouses that likely have a long history of housing mice, rats and racoons! The areas by the old cabins are not large enough to park many vehicles. Any camper with their own travel trailer or RV is going to camp anywhere on Ashley NF, including by a lake for free or a lot less. Likely why no one was staying there on the Utah pioneer day week. Not even close to a lake, just stuck in a dense shaded tree patch... No views even.

Sites 1-14 are best for RVs trailers, sites 15-20 are small for tenters. Three big group areas in the middle. Vault toilets, tables and fire rings but no water or trash

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.

I had a lovely stay. The grass was nice and green. The WiFi was strong. Easy pull in pull out. The owner and employees were lovely. I did not use any facilities. But I would highly recommend!!!

Great boondocking spots if you’re willing to get off the beaten path and get a little dirt.

I never saw any staff, there were few campers. The bathroom had some black bugs. Had to flush toilet a couple times and rinse sink out to get them out of my way. No cell service at campsite but walk to the road and you can get a bar.

Entrance is marked as Firehole Campground, about 12 miles from Green river. Road is not maintained and deeply rutted. Made it about 5 mi in and created my own turnaround spot as there are none. Ended up in a previously used camping area that has no fire pits or any facilities whatsoever. Fire danger all around so didn't build one. No rocks anywhere to create a fire pit. Nice, Serene and quiet location. No Wildlife to speak of. Great for one night but no service of any kind including cell or gps.

Was just driving til I found somewhere cool and this was it! Beautiful place but bugs were out so come prepared

Open sunny CG, not on the water. Sites are the weirdest ever, you share a parking area with the next site like as if it was a double site. Has dumpsters, toilets, showers, scattered water spigots. Host was onsite and helpful. 37 sites, 1/2 are reservable. $25/$12.50 senior. Access road is nice paved hwy 10 mi from #191. Boat marina is down hill from CG. NO CELL SIGNAL on any carrier so bring Starlink or a good book

Dispersed beach camping, vault toilets, dumpsters, great views and direct access for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. Boats can be put in at marina and beached here. No trees or shade but a light constant breeze in jun when we visited

Very large dispersed camping area. As the starting point we chose Anvil Draw Boat Ramp. From here many roads bifurcate and you can select many other dirt roads - where to go and where to stay, by the water or on top of the hill with 360 views (google maps shows them pretty accurately). We stayed 5 nights - the longest so far and it wasn’t planned that way. But then the weather, surrounding areas and things to do made us stay longer - without any regrets. We had couple of days very strong winds. But others were hot and sunny to pull our inflatable kayak and paddle around. The waters were calm. Another day we explored to the other side of the gorge (Utah - gorge overviews, Red canyon, geological Sheep Creek Canyon Loop). There are many mosquitoes but as mentioned, they strangely don’t bite and are appearing in intervals and random places - behind protection of the wind and mostly at sunsets. Plenty of cows, pronghorn antelopes, variety of birds. Overall very quiet place with occasional sound of boat passing in the waters. Not much shade or trees around. Perfect view place to recharge and move on to next destination.

Great campground for our over night stay. Clean bathrooms. Good internet. Level sites.
