The Uinta Mountains region surrounding Lonetree, Wyoming features several developed campgrounds and dispersed camping areas spanning both Wyoming and Utah state lines. Stateline Campground and Stateline Reservoir Campgrounds provide established tent and RV sites with basic amenities including drinking water and toilets, while Fort Bridger RV Camp offers full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs. Lyman KOA provides cabin accommodations alongside traditional camping, with several campgrounds offering primitive sites near lakes and rivers including Marsh Lake, Bridger Lake, and Hoop Lake Campgrounds in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
Camping access varies significantly based on seasonal conditions, with most campgrounds operating from late May through early September. Many forest roads leading to dispersed camping areas require high-clearance vehicles, particularly when approaching the more remote areas around China Meadows and Stateline Reservoir. The Wyoming side offers more desert-like conditions requiring shade preparation, while the Utah side provides more forested settings. The region experiences considerable temperature fluctuation with cool nights even during summer months. A visitor described the dispersed camping experience: "Dispersed camping on the Wyoming side is practically on a desert oasis so bring plenty of shade. Be prepared for a bit of noise from the ATVs, some dust, and a bit of fire ants during the day."
Waterfront camping opportunities represent a significant draw throughout the region, with several campgrounds providing direct lake or reservoir access. Most highly-rated campgrounds feature proximity to fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. Cell service varies considerably across the area, with coverage available in some dispersed camping zones but limited in more remote forest settings. Campers frequently mention wildlife viewing as a highlight, with pronghorn, deer, and various bird species commonly observed. For those seeking more solitude, the area offers numerous options away from developed sites. One camper noted that "This rec area is amazing! Almost guaranteed to find plenty of space (well maybe not during a holiday weekend)." Bathroom facilities at developed campgrounds typically consist of vault toilets, with some locations offering water spigots but few providing shower facilities.

"Lake is always full and perfect for kayaks and SUPs. There is water available near each bathroom but there is no water at the sites themselves. This is now our annual end-of-summer tradition."
"The lake is really cold, but there are people in f Shiny boats, kayaks, and float tubes. The fishing is ok, but there is a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats."
"The beachy lake was awesome. I enjoyed doing some stand up paddle boarding, and swimming in the lake. My campsite was right next to the lake."
"Most of the sites are back to back and while there are trees around the site it feels more like a parking lot than other sites further up."
$40 - $50 / night
"Don't let location fool you , very nice, well appointed, next to the State Park."
"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."
$21 - $68 / night
"Lots of ATV trails are nearby so there were quite a few ATVs around camp. About 40 minutes down a dirt road off the main road. Easily passable in any car."
"Very little shade and it's Wyoming, so "breezy"😉 $40+tax for power and water."
"Made a last min reservation here in my sprinter camper after high winds on 80 made driving near impossible. "
"There are numerous places to camp along the trail just remember to follow the minimum distance rules from trails and water bodies so you can help make others' trips as serene as yours."
"Going to Big meadow or Dahlgreen trail? Better have a compass sine the trail is poorly marked! Still beautiful!"
"It looks as if theres a big lodge with cabins for sale that are all closed up right now and takes up one side of the lake. We got up there a lil bit lake about 4pm on a Friday and it was amazing!"
"After going over an 8500 foot pass and stopping in the close by town of Rangely, UT (visiting the town museum), we arrived. The park was pretty full but the atmosphere was welcoming and calm. "
"Access to the lake is about 6 miles and access to national park activities close and easy to get to. Would recommend if you are KOA campers."
$24 - $52 / night
"There’s a nice walk around the lake."
"There were a lot of bugs, but that’s expected when camping next to the water. Standard pit toilets."
TravelerNice Forest at Camp Ground. Good sites. However, by the highway, which has trucks and traffic so noisy during the day, though quiet at night. It’s at 8000 foot so you hear the trucks climbing up to here and going downhill after here. Nice quiet and dark at night, so good for stargazing.
ScoutTried to stay here a few days ago and of course it was after hours so online is the only way to check in. However when I tried to pay for my $27 tent spot the final cost ended up being almost $70 and no way to see the charges as to why!!! Highly disappointed and won’t be back.
GuideQuite a nice peaceful park. Beautiful countryside and Moose running around.
GuideRough road with limited flat spots. Somehow a guy got a limo up there and was camping out. I followed the advice of other reviewers and went with CR838 instead. So beautiful and perfect for tent camping. There were a bunch of flat spots on 838 with fire rings and a little creek. 013 doesn’t compare at all!
GuideI concur with the other reviews 838 is the way to go! A ton of flat sites with a slightly bumpy road. 838 has a nice little creek and some already made camp fire rings as well.
013 had a rough road and less flat spots. A guy camping out in a limo was showering up that road as well. Can’t believe he got a limo up there!
GuideThis park was recently underwent a multi-million dollar update so reviews before November of 2024 may no longer be 100% accurate. This is a smaller state park with 26 RV/tent sites, each with power and water hookups as well as a fire ring and covered picnic table. Several of the sites will accommodate pretty much any sized rig. We pull a 46+’ toy hauler fifth wheel and had no problems whatsoever. The shower house has 8 separate units that also contain a toilet and sink…all very clean. There are also several tiny homes available for rent, but we didn’t go in those. They look nice from the outside. There is a friendly onsite campground host and DNR law enforcement was on regularly in patrol which we liked to see to help keep those who tend to destroy beautiful places like this in check. The area has much to offer including fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, off-road trails, etc.
GuideThis is a small dry campground at the entrance to the Sheep Creek Geological Loop. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring and there are also a couple of vault toilets onsite. The creek that runs in front of the cliffs is very soothing.
ScoutThis is a great area with many spots. (We didn’t go all the way back). The one concern would be during rainy season it is muddy and if hauling a rig it can get suspect. Use caution. Beautiful area with nice vistas and a little pond.
ScoutSpace 7 FF . $41 a night we had park pass so paid half. Dry camping but spigots throughout. We are in a pull behind cannot report on bathrooms.
We lucked out as this spot was reserved when we pulled up but occupants gone and reservation dates crossed out.
Camps spots here are very nicely spaced seems each spot had plenty of spave for kids pets to roam without intruding others.
level for trailers and tents.
Though u have a view of gorge through breaks in trees the caveat is the party boats docked at marina down below. One boat owner was proudly show off their speakers. Maybe because it was memorial weekend but it was kind of a bummer to have our peaceful outdoor time ruined for two hours with very loud music. We aren’t in camp much as we like to explore but when we were at camp that was our experience. Other than that , after driving through a lot of the other camp grounds and dispersed camping this was our favorite. We had more trees, but didn’t block solar panels, privacy, and because of pavement for pull thru we won’t have any problems leaving as the dispersed camping roads were filled with tire ruts and I think people left early because of yesterdays rain (5/24).
Camp host nice.
Wood $10 a stack
Marina with store nearby
Hiking trails in area
I think this campground is the closest to the dam.
I would stay here again in this site.
it was close to bathroom and spigot but very little traffic.
It does have fire ring and picnic table
There is a rocky trail down to water near marina area but the last 20 feet or so is a scramble so I wouldn’t carry chairs and drinks unless your a goat or confident in your bouldering skills.
5 stars campground 4 for noise but not campgrounds fault
