1. Green Mountain
Be the first to review!Jeffrey City, Wyoming•1 Photo•9 SavesGreen Mountain is located in southcentral Wyoming about ten miles south of Jeffrey City and about 50 miles northwest of Rawlins (as the crow flies). It contains the Cottonwood Campground, the only developed recreation facilities in an alpine setting in a several hundred square-mile area. Named for the green timber which covers it, Green Mountain and its neighbors, Crooks Mountain to the west and Whiskey Peak to the east, comprise a small mountain range by Rocky Mountain standards. Green Mountain has no hard rock core but was formed from sediments eroded from the much older Granite Mountains just to the north. Crooks Mountain and its adjacent Crooks Gap and Crooks Peak were named after Civil War veteran and Indian fighter General George H. Crook. The area has spectacular views of the surrounding Wyoming landscapes and excellent deer and elk hunting. If you're a rock hunter, both jade and agate are found in the surrounding areas. Wild horses can be seen in the area year-round. Green Mountain does have a seasonal closure that runs from December 1 to June 15.

6. Honeycomb Buttes WSA
Be the first to review!Superior, Wyoming•1 SaveThe Honeycomb Buttes WSA encompasses 39,908 acres of BLM-administered land, 640 acres of split estate and 640 acres of state land. This WSA is one of the best examples of badlands topography in Wyoming with its many colored bluffs, small draws and side canyons. Twisted and contorted erosional features dominate the landscape. The buttes are scattered with petrified wood and fossilized turtle shell. The Honeycomb Buttes WSA provides outstanding opportunities for various kinds of primitive and unconfined recreation. These opportunities include rockhounding, nontechnical climbing on the clay and rocky buttes, spelunking in the many erosion caves found in the buttes, and wildlife and outdoor photography. Opportunities also exist for backpacking, hunting and horseback riding. The remarkable scenic quality of this WSA greatly enhances the recreational values. This is a fee-free area. The boundary roads are accessible in most locations.

Cottonwood Campground Wyoming
worth the drive
The site is somewhat remote with a 10(+) mile drive along a rough gravel road. Once you get into the treeline it's becomes very scenic especially in the fall with the Aspens turning colors. Great campsites with tables and fire rings set along a mountain stream.

Great campground
Very nice small FCFS campground. Clean pit toilets, water (can attach hose to fill tank). Quiet spot, good spacing between sites. Host was great - took good care and offered great suggestions on things to do in the area

Camp in the Pine Trees
Nice, clean, and quiet. This campground is a high quality BLM site. Spaced out well, in the pine trees. Beats crowded, packed in gravel CG's any day. The GPS coordinates posted are wrong. Use these instead. 42.305400 N 108432568 W at 8,219 ft. elevation. The camp host gave us things to do, and directions. We didn't go to "Miners Delight", but did go to "Atlantic City", and "South Pass City". Atlantic City has a walking tour map, that can be picked up on Main street near the Mercantile location. It was fun to follow the map and see the sites. South Pass City has a restored mining town section. Very interesting to see. It's more of a museum setting, vs the usual souvenir selling tourist trap. Fun to explore and see how the miners lived back then. Highly recommend.

Simple Overnight Spot
Tucked back in a quiet neighborhood. Friendly, helpful office manager. Bathrooms were big, modern, and clean with separate shower rooms. 50 cents for 5 minutes per shower with plenty of hot water. Sites were level & easy to get into. Nothing fancy - just a good overnight spot.

Natrona County Pathfinder Reservoir Weiss Campground
A Gem by the Waterfront
Located by the scenic Patherfinder Reservoir, the natural beauty of the surroundings is truly captivating, offering a peaceful escape from the busy routine of everyday life. However, like any beautiful place, there are a few important things to remember.
The weather can be a bit unpredictable at times, with occasional cold spells and gusts of wind passing through the area. While this might mean wearing some extra layers, the stunning views and calming natural sounds more than make up for it. I experienced a rainstorm during my visit, and it's important to note that in certain areas, navigating the aftermath might be a bit challenging.
Something to keep in mind is that this spot requires a bit of a break from technology. The lack of a cellular signal might seem a little daunting initially, but believe me, it's actually a good thing. Overall, this campground on Patherfinder Reservoir is a pleasant retreat for those who want to find comfort in the embrace of nature. Despite the small challenges that come with any outdoor adventure, the overall experience is truly refreshing. Whether you're an enthusiastic camper or just want to get away for a weekend, this hidden treasure is definitely worth a visit.

Cottonwood Campground Wyoming
Beautiful Campground
Set several miles from the highway down a gravel road. If using a gps do not turn into the grass path, there’s an actual gravel road about another 200 feet or so. The gravel road leading into it can be quite narrow.
Absolutely stunning site. There’s a stream that runs through some of the campsites (they have bridges over it). You pay (self register, $6 a night) on site (first come first serve so take a quick spin to find an open spot before registering). The bulletin board where you do this is a ways into the camp but impossible to miss.
I went in October and it was very cold at night. Also lots of hunters there for Antelope. I didn’t get to poke around as much as I wanted as I had no orange clothing with me.

Excellent Campground!
This is a very nice campsite. The campsite host was super nice and helpful and recommended the perfect campsite for us. The whole area was very clean as well as the toilets. The sites themselves are very spacious and well kept. For $6 a night it’s pretty impressive. Potable water is also readily available.

Excellent lake with different activities
Great views pretty quiet campsites, fished from shore and sup boarded and swam larger lake with nice areas to swim. A few trails and areas to hike and bike. When passing through will visit again. Tables and shade at most sites with a marina store for ice, beer bait

Shaded but hot
Lots of shade, says you have to reserve but camp host said just pick a spot and pay, if someone comes in and says they reserved your spot, just move.

Big Atlantic Gulch Campground — Bureau Of Land Management
A Hidden Gem
This camp is right across the hill from the larger Atlantic campground. They are very similar in what they have and offer. It isn’t as big as the larger Atlantic camp which is nice to have less crowds.
It is $6 a night which a a bargain for the site. You have lots of trees, picnic tables, fire pits, a bathroom and a hand powered pump!
Very close to Miners Delight and Atlantic City. No service in the area.

Clean and fresh
A really top notch camping area. It offers quite a bit.
Bathrooms are very clean and there are 3-4 of them. There are multiple spigots for water and trash bins. Each camp site has a picnic table and fire pit. Each spot has lots of trees so you really feel like you are in a forest. Great place if like to hammock.
No service in the area which is nice, and it’s really close to Miners Delight and Atlantic City.

It works in a pinch!
It was 95 degrees out and we needed a full hook up for the night.
The office staff was really friendly and very efficient. Gravel site required minimal leveling. There are some shade trees. Not much to look at aesthetically, but had what we needed for a one night stay.
Good news is electrical and water all worked the way it is supposed to!

Short stop
We needed a couple of days rest. Stayed here in a back in site FHU’s 30amp didn’t use the facilities. The lady was supper nice at check in. It is just dirt and gravel no grass or trees. Pinedale Wy. is 10 miles from the RV park. It’s not pretty but the 30amp was very strong and AT&T was good and Sprint was full bars with MIMO. Very quiet it’s a good spot for a short stay.

Relaxing Place to Get Away
The spots were shady and it was not crowded at all. There were only about 5 other groups at the campground. You could even walk down to the lake. It got a bit windy at night. This campground is also nearby Devil’s Tower Nat’l Monument, which is a can’t miss if you’re in this area of Wyoming.

Clean and quiet
Site 17 has two picnic tables, one on the gravel parking pad and one down a short flight of steps. The fire ring is by the bottom picnic table. The entire campground was clean including the vault toilets.

Great site in the mountains
Very nice location. A few pull through sites. Most sites up to 30’. Plenty of vault bathrooms. No dump station! Very close to Atlantic City, great food there.

Twin Pines RV Park and Campground
Right off Freeway, water smelled.
It was very noisy with rucks blasting by on the freeway. The site wasn’t very clean and all close together in a gravel parking lot. We hooked up to the water and when I tried to cook with it, the water smelled and had some stuff floating in it. It didn’t seem safe to use, so we unhooked and had to use the reserve in our tank.

Overnight stop in town
Nice stop for other destinations. A little right and smaller. Close to Scenic byway by Boysen State Park. Wouldn’t recommend for longer stay as there are so many other fantastic campgrounds in this area.

Bishops Point Campground
Not to bad
This is my second time staying here, it’s not bad. Definitely windy and there are few spots with trees but not really. The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board. The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!

Ok for one night
Not much to say about this place. There are 60 RV sites. Not much shade. But the sites are level and the have water electric and sewer. Bathroom/shower/laundry was clean, but the showers are pay showers. WiFi but no cable

Bishops Point Campground
Busy fishing area
This campground is in an area with several boat launch spots so it gets very noisy. It is also very windy here with no trees. There is a pay box before entering the campground, the fee is $10 a night. The campsites each have a shelter, picnic table,and fire ring that has an adjustable grate. The area has two pit toilets that are taken care of but heavily used. There are plenty of places to fish and four wheel.
