GuideOnly about 5-10 minutes off I-80, it won't take you long to get here. It is fare enough away that you won't hear any sounds coming from the interstate. Our host was extremely sweet, and the facilities were very clean. Sit back and watch/listen to the nearby cows. Or, check out the nearby Fort Bridger Museum.
TravelerWell maintained, spacious park, good spacing between sites. All sites have water, electric, and sewer. The quirky little town of Fort Bridger is a block away, with a small convenience and liquor store. There's also a park, but I didn't check it out. Front desk staff and camp host are super friendly. I enjoyed my stay here, and would stay again.
ScoutAfter a disappointing attempt with another local camp in Fort Bridger, Good Sams, we were surprised by the warm telephone welcome Noreen provided. Process was seamless, and our few minute drive was easy. Once in the office, now about 6:30, Noreen was busy helping other travelers, I meandered into the well stocked store and was greeted by, Hazelys, our first time hearing the name, a delightful young woman who not only provide a pleasant welcoming, but jumped in a golf cart and directed us to our home for the night. Soon I needed remedial help with the electric box and called their number, quickly answered by Cliff who offered to come to our site, but his advice was right on and we remain happy campers. Grateful to all those we had the opportunity to connect with. Stop here on your travels, you will not be disappointed.Thank you.
ScoutIn all my days as a camper, I have never ever heard the first words from a phone call,“Actually, we are closed!” My surprise when we followed the directions provided and arrived about six PM on a Sunday night, July 6, we missed the turn by about twenty five yards and had to turn around to enter the drive to the camp. Parking in the designated spot, I went to the door to see a very unwelcoming sign, with hours. It was now six 10, The siGN SAID,“NO SELF PARKING, DO NOT CALL AFTER HOURS!” I went back to the camper, and thinking it was only a few minutes after six, I got my phone, walked back to the door with the note, and called. IT WAS SIX 17! The voice answered, with the campground name, and I asked for a full hookup pull through site.(We could see many many open spaces) THATS WHEN I RECEIVED THOSE WORDS, which are hard to forget, especially from a GOOD SAM’S approved camp ground we found in their directory.. So much for friendly service. Six seventeen and“ACTUALLY WE ARE CLOSED! SAD. Good Sam’s adjust your thinking. Campers, if you are not timely, skip this one. I know we will on future trips. Just a few miles away in Lyman, is a very friendly site. Skip Fort Bridger, go to Lyman.
GuideGreat stay here. No real amenities except for a good bar and restaurant. We had lunch there one day. Decent space between sites. No dog park although large grassy area to walk the dogs. RV park is not gated.
Very friendly staff. Clean Park and quiet.
GuideThe town has a lot of history and you can tour all the old building from the fort. The rv park itself was quite with very clean facilities. Only wish they could add a dog park and kids play area (they have the room).
ScoutPark sites are gravel & track dirt into rv. Forget the pet area, it is apparent that picking up after your pet is not enforced. Septic hookup is at the back of the site so hopefully you have a long hose. I didn't!
TravelerThis is far enough away from interstate so you dont hear traffic, but you can still be back on the interstate within 5 mins. But trains are close by and will be heard.
Appears long term campers are at front of campground. Everyone around us were also doing 1 night stay, so everything was quit after sunset.
Finding the sewer hookup took some time, but finally found it. Need a water pressure regulator and when you check in they mention that.
Nice large trash bins which are along the path out of the campground and in the center of the campground. Dog area was clean and had plenty of grass.
Showers were good, but need some maintenance/adjustment but it works for a quick shower.
RangerRiverside RV Park is great. No frills , just a clean and safe place to spend the night or several days. $35.00 a night gets you full hook ups and a pleasant, quite spot to park. Located on the outskirts of Kemmerer, Wyoming. 17 sites are offered for RV s of all sizes. 8 are back in that are up along the Ham Fork River. The others are paved pull through. All have power, water and sewer. Owners are terrific! Cell phone coverage is very good and park WiFi is the best we have been around in 6 months! I highly recommend Riverside for anyone looking for a one night stay or needing a number of days in a charming town.( Kemmerer is Home to the original JC Penny department store). If you like to hunt for fossils, the surrounding hills are full of them. Fossil Butte National Monument is just 11 miles from town.
