The Tail Race Campground features three campsites with fire rings and a vault toilet. This campground is wedged between Fontenelle Reservoir and Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, and so makes a fantastic site for birding, fishing, or non-motorized water sports. Historically, this area was a gathering place for trappers during their annual rendezvous, and the modern day explorer can still see the lure of such a rich and welcoming area.
Lake Alice Campground has 9 campsites and is a 1.5 mile hike east from the Hobble Creek Campground. Lake Alice provides beautiful views, fishing and a variety of hiking and horseback opportunities to visitors. Visitors are strongly encouraged to practice clean camping techniques and to store attractants (e.g. food, toothpaste) in a manner that makes them unavailable to bears.
Tent camping only with modern showers/bathrooms
$25 - $35 / night
Located at 6755 ft. the campground has 4 walk-in campsites that are 50 yards from the parking lot. RV camping is permitted in the parking lot. The campground is conveniently placed between two reservoirs, each stocked annually with game fish, making it an ideal fishing destination.
Guide
Very open scenery by the lake. BLM sites with a picnic table and roof cover over it. It’s $7 a night a think. Me and my friends cowboy camped here for a night during December, about 4°F with snow on the ground. There is also a boat ramp right next to the campground and you can ice fish on the lake.

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

We have been coming here for over 25 years. It was a membership campground until about 5 years ago when Sun Outdoors took over. While there have been some improvements, it has been sorely lacking in maintenance. In addition, management doesn’t appear to have much motivation to enforce rules that made this a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay.
Traveler
Just stayed for a night but in a sight directly at the lake. We were able to go to the lake easily and swim a little bit. Due to being late in the season it was not crowded at all.
Traveler
Yes, there were mosquitoes, cows, and a bit of green water, but it was very peaceful and beautiful. Whenever the options are a crowded and powered RV campsite versus a peaceful boondock such as this, we opt for the latter. Hope you enjoy it.

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.
TravelerI 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!!!
ScoutThis campground has lovely views of the reservoir and was a respite from a long day on the road. As others said it’s a bit dated, treeless and windy. Quiet and peaceful.
GuideGreat campground for our over night stay. Clean bathrooms. Good internet. Level sites.
Traveler
This 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.
Scout
We were able to make a reservation and check in after hours. Quite and only a handful of campers. Great spot to get some rest!
Scout
Just arrived at the camp site, not to big, the sites have shadow from trees (not all). Restrooms are not really clean, water of the pool seems to be a bit dirty. Next to paid activities there are some stuff kids can do for free.

I grew up camping here and it’s one of my favorites. I swear there used to be garbages but now there are bear boxes which is great. Some the camp spots are over grown because they don’t get used much.
ScoutI've camped 3 times in the last three years at this campground and it has gotten progressively worse since my first visit in 2021. My last stay in early August 2023 was the worst. I had to spend 5 minutes cleaning up dog poop out of my assigned site before I could carefully pitch my tent in a cleared area. The bathrooms were dirty and the WiFi didn't work at my site. The "benefit" of being close to I-80 is outweighed by the constant noise of traffic from both the interstate and a service road which runs right past the tent sites.
Guide
This campground is beautiful and the sites are huge! The bathrooms were pretty clean. Cell service was decent.
GuideVery tight to maneuver car or suv, host was meh and rude. Stayed the weekend of July 4th 2021. It was a nice stay, bear lake was about a 10-15 mile drive.
TravelerI couldn't have asked for a better stay. The staff was very friendly, helped me find my spot and checked in with me. Bathrooms where super clean and the overall stay was perfect. Thank you
ScoutGreat place to stay the only issue I've had here was cell connection is spotty
ScoutVery nice hosts. Pull ins a bit tight but there are some pull throughs. I’m here in late June and perfect weather. Quite peaceful as not a lot of campers yet.
Guide
Staying at this location while working on a local project. It’s a great long-term stay option. The owner has kept the grounds in great condition even during cold winter months.
Right off the river with different options for different travelers. Close to town. Quiet.
Guide
Stayed here twice over the course of Memorial Day weekend. Super lovely with easy access to the water. No showers at this campground, but I was able to get one in at the other campground. Would stay again!
GuideWe picked up our new Bean Trailer in Utah this January and needed a place to stay with bathroom facilities. This Camp was the only one around that had facilities in the wintertime. What a Godsend! The staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were clean and warm which was very welcome with the weather in the single digits. I would highly recommend this Camp as a comfortable pass-through camp!
Guide
I booked our site kind of last minute so I did not have a lot of options. The site I was in was fine. I have a 25 ft. trailer with a slide out and it was a little tight. The sites that back up to the lake were all taken. The campground was busy but not completely full. Luckily no one was in the site right behind ours so we did have a little space and privacy at our campfire. The beach to the lake is very close and the water was nice. We did have a nice drive around the lake and another good drive through the nearby mountains. The bathrooms and showers are clean but the shower head sprays water all over the room. It was difficult to keep my belongings dry while I was showering. We enjoyed our stay here. It was relaxing and fun.
LegendVery nice hostess and clean park. 3 stars only because I’m not used to parking right next to someone else, so it’s not MY dream spot. They were full so it is definitely utilized by many! Heard the train a couple of times but not offensive. Verizon good enough to use my hot spot.
LegendVery cute campground. Nice place to stay to visit Jim Bridger’s fort. We walked to the museum which is great. Lot to see. We talked to the ranger who was full of information about the fort and the Mormons.

There are 2 KOA in this small city. The other KOA is closer to the main street and would probably be a better choice if planning to spend a few days but if like us you are just looking for a nice spot to spend the night this is a good option.
Traveler
I will start with the pros. Birch campground at Rendezvous Beach has nice paved (mostly level) spots. Each site has a covered picnic table in a concrete pad. The public restrooms are in good clean condition. You can access the beach easily. The water is really low and therefore much further away than expected. You can also drive your car into the marked areas of the beach.
Now for the cons and the reason for the 3 stars. I know once upon a time this was a well cared for campground. Unfortunately 2022 proved otherwise. The picnic table at my site and concrete pad were covered in dirt/sand and useless because I don’t have a broom. The common areas between sites are overgrown with weeds. No real grass just rocks and weeds. This all gets tracked into your RV especially if you have dogs.
