Best Tent Camping near Kemmerer, WY

We have stayed there for three years and love the place. Very clean all over. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate us. The sites are easy to back in to. Great tent sites also.

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

I'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.

This was the first time that we stayed in a yurt, and it is a game changer.  It is honestly so nice once in a while to not have to put up camp or break camp.  For a nice, glamping getaway this is the place to be.  The grounds are beautiful, the host is kind, it is so quiet, and there was a lot of wildlife.  I recommend it for those who don't want to miss the comforts that they have at home, or just for those of us who tent camp and want to make is even more special once in a while.

Deluxe RV sites offer more space and privacy while standard ones are in a loop next to tent sites. Wifi is OK, T-Mobile cell service is 1 bar even with booster. ATT is 3 bars. The park is across the main road from the lake with no direct access so you’ll need to pack up the car and drive to the marina, state park or one of the smaller beaches down the road. The speed limit on main road is 50 and there isn’t a sidewalk so it’s not great for running or biking. There is however a nice bike path about 2 miles down the road. The water at Bear Lake is absolutely stunning! Clear and turquoise blue - we recommend driving up the road to the North beach in Idaho!

Great place in rural Wyoming. In town of Kemmerer close to several lakes. Convenient to amenities as well as nature in rural Wyoming.

Riverside 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.

This is our local go-to spot for weekend camping and we really enjoy it. About 16 camp sites with shared running Artesian water and two pit toilets. Ham's Fork Creek runs nearby with trout in it. Campground is in a pine tree area so some shade available, but also can be windy at times.  Some dispersed camping can be found on the way up to the forest.  It is about 45 minutes north of Kemmerer, WY.

The sites are overgrown and not well maintained. There are fire rings ( look like wheel rims) with grates. The picnic tables are pretty beaten up and there is a "broken picnic table" pile beginning to form. There is a outhouse available. This is right off the WY State Hwy 233 just outside Kemmerer. The Hamsfork River runs past the campground area. There are some trees. The Oyster Ridge Music Festival takes place annually the last weekend in July and this may be an option if your attending the amazing free event!

There is a selfpay kiosk $10/night.

We stopped by on our way to Wyoming and trough up a tent. Lots of stars and really quite. The view are nice and it is a great primitive camp spot.

Just off a dusty forest service road. The fishing is great, lots of little tributaries to fish. There is a pit toilet available. I'd recommend pitching a tent in the forest vs. camping here, although it was not busy, there are only a few sites at this campground.

Ranch had a variety of accommodations luxury tents, the Joshua tree house, or the covered wagons. The covered wagons are super unique and can sleep up to six. Good views of Bear Lake.

Prices range from $209-$399 per night.

There are not many campgrounds in this part of Wyoming. This is a BLM facility with paved sites, a metal shade by the picnic table, barbecue grills, garbage, potable water and flush toilets. All this for $7 per site. There is fishing here and a boat ramp. Our 24’ pop up truck camper had more than enough room. There are two handicap access sites and restrooms. It was barren with few trees but it was clean and a great deal for the price. There were only a few people when we were there in very early October 2020. There are 55 sites.

Conestoga Ranch is a destination that gives luxury a down home feel.

 Located in Garden City, Utah on the beautiful Bear Lake Conestoga Ranch offers luxury tents and a chance to stay in a covered wagon.

I stayed in a larger, more luxurious site because my wife and I were on our Anniversary weekend.

The tent had a king bed, shower, and deep claw foot tub. The decor is charmingly rustic with log furnishings and tin and raw pipe for plumbing and accessories, this is all intentional and makes the experience even better.

Onsite, there are clean shower rooms and rest rooms, laundry facilities, an arcade, and a very fine restaurant and lounge.

Upon check in, you park by the office and a attendant takes you and your gear up to your site, later on a fire concierge will come and start your fire as you relax and take in all the beauty around you.

Bear Lake offers so much opportunity for recreation, from boating, to side x side rentals to beaches, mountain biking and some shopping.

This luxury comes at a price...a pretty steep price for camping, rates vary, but staying before memorial day gave us the better rate. 

I do think that the price is worth the wonderful experiences that we had at this fun little place.

Have a great time.

Sunrise Campground sites are immersed in trees to give you a surrounding cozy and comfortable feeling. Back in sites include a fire ring and sturdy picnic table... Not sure about the pull-thru sites.

For site 15, the sunrise peeked thru the trees into my tent. As I got going, I walked around the park to find a rest area only 0. 5 miles from my campsite (great if you need flushing toilets, running water and a beautiful view of Bear Lake).

Looking forward to a return visit to this campground!
