Best Dispersed Camping near Green River, WY

This dispersed camping area is free and is along FS road #049 into Greens Draw area. Area is shielded from hwy 191 noise. However it has a strong ATT cell signal (no Verizon or TMobile). No toilets, tables or metal fire rings. No dumpsters. No water. True boondocking.

I followed the other reviewers advice and went with #838. There are tons of dispersed camping options in Ashley National Forest. I stayed at this site on a Monday and I was the only one there.

This dispersed camping area is free and is along the FS roads that are on backside of a ridge behind the forest and is shielded from hwy 191 noise. However it has a strong ATT cell signal (no Verizon or TMobile). Sites are along the FS roads and look east into the large valley meadow Bowden draw area. No toilets, tables or metal fire rings. No dumpsters. No water. True boondocking. Locals seem to stash TTs all summer in these sites.

Nice river side camping on a rock beach. Antelope, deer and birds of all kinds are plentiful. There are 2 roads each has at least one really nice dispersed camping spot.

Wide open BLM land. This particular spot is easily accessible, although I couldn't tell how friendly other campers were and you have to drive over sagebrush to really pull off the road if the one or two real pull offs are occupied. I ended up driving around rutted and rocky roads off the ones that are on Google maps, trying to find a good pull off but the few there are were already occupied, some by folks that seemed to have been there for a while. Some of the side roads were really rough and I was lucky to make it through them in my Subaru, although any vehicle could handle the main road to the spot tagged here.

It's also really exposed to the wind and elements with no trees. It's up pretty high and there's not really any wind break from the landscape. Very cold in mid September but I'd imagine really hot at times in the summer. I may have hit it at a particularly windy time but it definitely nearly made me look for an alternative spot, of which options are limited in the area.

Aside from that it was beautiful. Moon gazing and sunset and sunrise, smelled heavenly of sagebrush. I wouldn't count on seeing wild horses here- I read that recently they've been pushed out but you can look for them further east.

This is a primitive camping area by Sheep Creek Lake. No amenities, no established campsites, no toilets, no garbage dumpsters, no water, no cell signal. Road access is gravel graved. A primitive boat ramp is available. This lake seems to be more of a Fish and Game nursery lake for raising Colo River Trout.

This was one of my favorite finds during my trip through Utah earlier this summer. We were checking out Flaming Gorge and, predictably, all the campgrounds were booked full. I prefer cool dispersed camping anyway, so I decided to venture off some forest roads to see what I could see. And man, that paid returns!

As you head down this forest road (it is a bit rough, low-clearance cars might have a rough go of it, as well as full-sized RVs) you'll see multiple minimal dispersed campsites, most with small man-made rock firepits and nothing else. You're back in the trees, but they aren't overly heavy, so the light comes through just fine, and you'll have open spots as well. One dispersed site on the way to mine looked to have an incredible view, but alas, it was taken.

My site was very large, right where the fire road (more a trail really) seemed to split in two directions. Tons of flat ground for tents, a big healthy stone firepit, and plenty of wood around to harvest. Set up shop as soon as I found it and glad I did. So quiet, big and open, trees for the hammock - basically everything I look for when I try and find a cool place to camp. 

Highly, highly recommended. Would camp here again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I was too excited to remember to get any good photos of the site itself, so instead, please drool over the shishkabobs I got going on the fire, and the trees at dusk.

Those are nice dispersed campgrounds.  Although there were quite a few RVs while I was there, I managed to find a spot for myself with a great view on the reservoir.  It seems to be quite popular.  (Driving a subaru impreza hatchback with 5.1 inches ground clearance.)

FS road #13 has large diameter cobble base and makes for a bumpy road. There are much better dispersed sites across the hwy on FS roads #839 and #838 for RVs and TTs. I would not go up this road with a trailer unless you had a turnaround open. This area is best suited to overlander tent and truck camper types. FS notes 16 day limit

We’re here in mid September and only two other campers. Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area. The campground on the tip of the little peninsula was available and surround by water on three sides was available, but a little windy. Our selected spot was more secluded but still right on the waters edge.

We spent this past Friday night at this dispersed campground. While the grounds are beautiful, it was extremely noisy with Harding going on all night by the Lakeshore. It was extremely noisy with all of the power equipment on and near the lake, including ATVs, generators, speed boats. If you were looking for peace and quiet, I would move away from the Lakeshore and Camp on the road going out. The road going out is quite rough and has about mile and a half of pretty bad washboard and is sandy in some spots as well

There was not another single soul at this campsite while I was here. At the end of a peninsula into the flaming gorge reservoir, this spot is simply stunning. Huge spots and great views. Came in October and the temperature was much warmer than anticipated. Highly recommend.

We loved camping here after visiting Flaming Gorge! It was definitely worth the drive down because it loops us back up to I-80 on the western side of the gorge.

The road is bumpy but it's nothing a regular passenger car shouldn't be able to handle. The camp sites are spacious and each one is far enough from each other that peace and quietness was never an issue. There are some sites with fire pits and lots is dead wood that can be used. Plenty of shade from trees, but it does get breezy at night.

Hands-down one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. If you depend on cell service to work full-time from your RV than this place is not for you. Although it will say you have full service on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon the download speeds never get above 0.10 on any carrier. The Internet on any of the major carriers is essentially unusable.

The other thing about this area is my campsite has been visited by bears during the night a few times. It was their home first but can be quite the shocker
