  Wind River RV Park

  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!

  Jim Moss Arena Campground

  Plain and Simple - Great for One night

  The campground is SAND with some scrub weeds on it, as expected in the middle of Wyoming. Paid over the phone, never saw the host at all, even as we were setting up and breaking down.

  Definitely have your doormat out or you will track sand all over your rig.

  Just passing through for a one nighter, you can't beat the price. Hosts were very friendly when making the phone reservation. Would stay again, but definitely not for long term.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Fountain of Youth

  This is a nice spot when traveling through Wyoming. The sites could use a little upgrading that’s why I didn’t give it a 5-star rating. The bathrooms were clean, the showers and laundromat are coin operated, and there a full hook-ups for each site. The Mineral Pool is Awesome. Staff very friendly.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Hot Springs

  $55 night, full hook ups: electric, water, and sewage. Pull thru sites. All sites come with picnic table and fire ring. Sites are level. Not very private. Not a lot of shady trees so camper can warm up even with AC. Dog friendly.

  Lovely big hot spring pool. it has different sections with different temps. They clean the pools bi-weekly so make sure to ask when reserving if its a cleaning week because you will lose pool time.

  Didnt have much luck with wifi. at&t was very week, verizon was good in the area.

  State park near by with more hot spring views and bison views. We did the spirit trail just over a mile.

  Beware the whole area smells like rotten eggs due to the sulfer in the springs. It can be nauseating.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Great Park for R&R

  This great little RV park is outside of Thermopolis by a couple of miles, but it is worth the extra drive. Very friendly staff, the sites are close to gather but comfortable. I’ll hook ups included for a reasonable price. Plenty of trees shrubs and grass around to make a mess outdoors experience. The highlight are the mineral hot spring swimming pools (included). All around great site, highly recommend.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Great spot, but not fancy

  Fountain of youth RV park definitely has its charm, but also could use some amenity upgrades.

  Pros:

  Huge hot spring pools open daily from 7am- 9:30 pm. Lots of space and can use floaties even kayaks on the pools. Free use of staying here. Cleaned pools one of the days we were here. Awesome to use at night under the stars.

  The views from the pools are gorgeous.

  Sites have enough space from one another and full hookups. The owner is really amenable and lets you choose your site.. this is great if you’re looking for more shade or space from neighbors.

  There is laundry, showers, and toilets available for use.

  Location is awesome—right near the state park, close to the dinosaur center, grocery store is less than a 10 min drive, lots of water activities close by (we went kayaking)

  WiFi worked very well the entire time!

  Cons:

  The owner is definitely nice but runs the establishment by himself and therefore is hard to get a hold of initially and is very busy.

  The showers are coin operated. So you have to pay one quarter for 2 1/2 minutes of showering. You can also hop over to the hot springs state park for a free soak in the bathhouse and free shower afterward!

  The amenities themselves aren’t anything to write home about—laundry is fine, toilets are not amazing, nor are the showers—but everything works and there’s hot water!

  Close to the road and a railroad so you can hear sounds of traffic, but it’s not crazy disruptive. Nothing earplugs can’t solve.

  No Verizon or ATT service at the site.

  Ultimately, I think the hot spring pools and location are well worth the $$ and loved my stay.

The sites are well-maintained, and the full hookups provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. For those looking for an extended stay, they even offer 15% off for bookings over 7 days!

  Activities & Attractions: One of the best parts of Crippled Spider Ranch is the variety of activities on-site and nearby. There’s something for everyone—whether it’s hiking on the BLM land that borders the property, petting zoo visits for the kids, or even learning to ranch and milk cows! The property is also a great base for rock hounding and exploring Wyoming’s natural beauty. You can even hunt (seasonal) or target shoot, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

  For those interested in history, the ranch is near the historic Oregon Trail, and there are great opportunities for treasure hunters like metal detecting and exploring old ghost towns.

  Wind River RV Park

  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.

  Jim Moss Arena Campground

  Basic but good!

  We scheduled a stop and we were not disappointed. It’s not full hookup sites but has electricity, some sites have water and there is a dump station in the back. Paulette is pretty friendly and her dog is absolutely adorable. He roams around like he owns the place ... 😜

  Quiet at night and plenty of stars to look at.

  Fountain of Youth RV Park

  Great place to relax for a couple days

  We went in the winter so traffic was super low. Mostly just us at the park so we got the 2 giant hot spring pools to ourselves. Soak in mineral rich waters up to 110 degrees in some areas. Full hookups, but no water in the winter due to frozen lines.

  Hot Springs by the River

  We went by, but ended up not staying. Not because of the park, but we wanted to be downtown this time. The new owners are working hard on maintenance and upgrades. Concrete pads. Full hookups. Shower house (needing updates, but understand they are in the works). Best of all? 1600 sq ft natural mineral hot springs pool!!! Heaven! Free if staying there, only $10 if not. Campground is right on the river surrounded by mountains. Only draw back is the train tracks across the river. Thank goodness trains don't run often.

  Ocean Lake

  beautiful for RVs, windy for us in a tent with rocky ground

  Nice free spot but mostly for RVs as there are lots of rocks/gravel. Spot to put in a boat too. They have picnic tables (most covered) and fire pits.

  We didn't end up staying because it was too rocky for tent stakes and it was incredibly windy. The wind was everywhere though so not necessarily the location. We had heavy wind all day throughout our drive across NE and WY.

  We found the spot on the west side by reading a previous review but there is another spot on the north side maybe.

  Wyoming Gardens RV Park

  Great staff, rough bathroom and so much road noise

  The good - the staff is great, very helpful and responsive. The place is well kept overall, although the bathroom spiders were pretty impressive themselves and its all pretty aged. I did have a few scalding/freezing moments when someone flushed a toilet and I was showering but it was our first shower after 4 days in Yellowstone and it was lovely.

  The park has a nice table and grill, full hookups and nice shade but the spots are very tight so you'll need to be handy with backing and leveling around the tree trunks.

  The bad - holy mother of big rigs. The traffic going by at all hours is SO loud. SO SO loud. None of us could sleep and we were all pretty cranky. I guess you balance easy access with highway and truck noises, but be aware that it's an issue.

  Side note - breakfast at the Black Bear Cafe (0.8m) was delicious, down home goodness and recommended for cranky bad-sleep travelers to perk up.

  Also the Star Plunge was awesome, great facility, great hot springs and the slides were a huge hit. We were warned to avoid Teepee hot springs as the slides are very rough and will remove more layers than you'd like.

  Wyoming Gardens RV Park

  2nd time around.

  We stayed here 2 years ago. That is our test. Would we be back? The answer was yes. So, here we are in site #4. Staff is super friendly. Cute downtown, with health food store & brewery. Hot Springs State Park close. Recommend the free state mineral pools. Grocery store, dollar store and liquor store just a couple of blocks. Fast food within walking distance.

  PROS:

  • Each site is pull thru sites, each with direct access from the main road.
  • Each site has a small concrete patio, table and small grill with beautiful grass.
  • Sites are gravel, except tent sites wich is beautiful lush grass.
  • Shower house with 2 stalls for toilet and showers ( see video). A little dated, but super clean.
  • Easy check-in
  • Reasonable cost for full hookups.
  • Convenient to everything
  • Laundromat less than 1 block $2 wash.
  • very good WIFI

  CONS:

  • Right on the main road, but road noise was not bad.
  • Sites are close together
  • Bathrooms are a little dated, but clean.

  Brannon Campground — Boysen State Park

  Camel Trek - Night 11

  Rolled down off the snowy Powder River Pass in the Bighorn National Forest and through the Wind River Canyon to find the most incredible sunset site overlooking the Boysen Reservoir at the “Brannon Campground”. It was suuuuper windy but we had spectacular views.

  We were here in early November. Pretty much had the whole of the reservoir campgrounds to ourselves. Didn’t see another person until the next morning when a Ranger came by to check in on us and make sure we’d paid our fees for the evening. I could see this place being busy during the summer season, but still should be ample space to spread out. Turns out, we camped on the pad that the Fish & Game folks setup on during the summer. Certainly app reactivated their level pad and electrical hookup.

  Multiple different locations with pit toilets, though one area just north of us was blocked off at the time.

  Tough Creek Campground — Boysen State Park

  Nice and clean spot by the lake

  Stayed right at the lake for one night with my small RV. No hookups, but ok if self contained. Campspots are spread apart enough that running generators from other campers ( it was a hot day) weren’t to noisy.

  North Fork Campground

  High Altitude Camping

  Nice campground at 10,500 feet above sea level! Very rocky terrain. No electricity or sewer for RV's. 2 water pumps, which were shut off when we were there end of September. Lovely sounds of the North Fork Little Laramie River. Hiking available. Apparently used a lot by 4-wheelers; quite a few buzzing around the 2 days we were there. Recommended as another place when all the other campgrounds nearby are filled up!

  Hot Spring Pools

  Open camp-sites (very little shade).  Water, sewer, and electric hook-ups available.  Flush toilets and coin operated showers.  Garbage bins. The hot spring fountain and pools were amazing!!!  Thermopolis was a friendly community with lots of fun things to do!  We took in the dinosaur museum, and it was great!  We were there in the middle of the week, and there were quite a few sites available.

  We suggest you take in the Scenic Byway through Wind River Canyon just South of Thermopolis - it's amazing!

  Eagle RV Park

  Ok RV park, near great attractions

  The RV itself wasn't great. The bathrooms were acceptable, not overly clean but not dirty either. Had a little laundry room with 2 washers and dryers. The sites are ridiculously close together and your neighbor's sewer hookup is nearly in your site. It is close the the mineral hot springs, though, and the Dinosaur museum is amazing.

  Lower Wind River Campground — Boysen State Park

  Wind River Canyon views

  Pros and Cons to the location of this campground: great views of the Wind River and the tunnels, but right next to the highway and not much privacy between sites due to lack of underbrush. The half of the campground closer to the tunnels is walk up only and the lower half of the campground is reservation only. The host was very nice and happy to chat as long as you wanted, which might account for the lack of mowing. While there wasn’t much privacy between sites, they were at least well shaded by the trees (which were also good trees to hang a hammock in). The vault toilets were clean and sites all had picnic tables, fire pits and grills. There are no hookups for RV’s, but there is water available at the spigots scattered around the campground. Warning: it is loud in the day and into the late evening with trucks coming down and going up the canyon. However, if you get a site next to the river it quiets things down a bit.

  Gebo Road - Thermopolis

  Great historical private campsite with no amenities

  Easy to get to and private campsite. A little circular dirt parking area was a good spot for us to setup our trailer for the night. There is enough space for multiple RV's or tent camping. There are no amenities but great views and privacy. There is no Verizon cell phone service and TONS of broken glass and there is ample room if you want to setup a tent, but there is debris in the area. Don't let this deter you from this FREE campsite as there is tons to see and do. You can hike up bluffs and walk through the old 1880's coal mining town. We would stay at this location again as its very convenient to get to if in route out west.
