What to do
Hiking near dinosaur tracks: Red Fleet State Park Campground offers trails leading to preserved dinosaur footprints visible in sandstone.

This was our first time seeing anything of the like, and it absolutely blew our minds," notes a visitor to Red Fleet State Park Campground.
Historical exploration: Fort Bridger historic sites provide educational opportunities within walking distance of camping areas. "Only about 5-10 minutes off I-80, it won't take you long to get here. Check out the nearby Fort Bridger Museum," recommends a camper at Fort Bridger RV Camp.

They rent kayaks, paddle boards and canoes," explains a visitor about the facilities at Red Fleet State Park.
What campers like
Private bathroom facilities: Many campers appreciate the clean, spacious restroom facilities at certain campgrounds. "They have the largest private bathrooms. Complete with toilets in a private room. Very clean," reports a guest at Fort Bridger RV Camp.
Fishing access: Creekside camping spots provide immediate fishing opportunities. "The best part about this campground is the fishing. If you get one of the sites towards the back of the campground the creek runs right by it and fishing for pan size trout is a blast," shares a visitor to Whiterocks campground.
Lake proximity: Several campgrounds offer direct access to water recreation. "This camp area is sectioned off of the very large sheep creek bay boat ramp parking. Trash and toilets at boat ramp about 100yds away across the blacktop parking area," explains a camper at Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Many RV sites near Lonetree, Wyoming close during winter months. "We stayed at Phillips RV Park in Evanston, Wyoming in August 2021. We had a nice pull-thru site that easily accommodated our fifth wheel and truck," notes a visitor to Phillips RV Park.
Traffic noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby transportation routes. "If you're into having a mexican restaurant 1 block away and being sandwiched between a major interstate, a railroad, and a highway, then this place is for you," cautions a reviewer about Phillips RV Park.
Limited shade coverage: Several campgrounds lack substantial tree coverage. "My suggestions are to take some kind of extra shade. There are not a lot of trees for shade. Also lots of ice to keep food cool," advises a camper who stayed at Red Fleet State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Some parks feature dedicated play areas for children. "This park has lots of room for kids to play with a large play structure and grassy area," mentions a visitor to Phillips RV Park.

Swimming beaches: Designated swimming areas provide safe water recreation. "Nice campground. Fairly busy. Great for water sport and kids," notes a camper about Red Fleet State Park's facilities.
Tips from RVers
Hook-up positioning: RV sites may have utilities placed in challenging locations. "The campsites set wide and long but the services are placed strangely. In addition, there are trees planted that block the path to parking near them," explains a visitor to Little America RV Park.
Accessibility for large rigs: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger recreational vehicles. "Good spacing between sites. All sites have water, electric, and sewer. The quirky little town of Fort Bridger is a block away, with a small convenience and liquor store," notes a camper at Fort Bridger RV Camp.
Check-in procedures: Some parks have strict check-in policies. "Unclear where RVs should park to check in at the hotel lobby, but there's a large parking area so we parked sideways through several spots. They escorted us to our site: pull through, full hookups," explains a visitor describing the arrival process at Little America RV Park.
