Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Pinedale, WY

322 Reviews

Soda Lake Wildlife Habitat Management Area offers free dispersed camping with pet-friendly sites surrounding the lake. Campsites feature picnic tables and fire rings with ample space between sites, allowing dogs to enjoy the open environment without feeling crowded. No shade trees exist around the lake, but the area provides excellent lake access for dogs who enjoy swimming. Several vault toilets are positioned around the shoreline for camper convenience. Yellowstone Trail RV Park also welcomes pets with full hookup sites on level gravel pads with grassy areas. Beautiful wild horses occasionally roam near Soda Lake, drinking from the water in early mornings—an impressive sight for campers and their canine companions.

The dispersed camping areas around Willow Lake and Kelly Park offer alternatives for dog owners seeking more secluded experiences. These primitive sites provide pets with more freedom to explore while remaining leashed. The road to Willow Lake features steep sections requiring high-clearance vehicles, particularly for the final mile approaching the lake. Warren Bridge Recreation Area offers designated dispersed camping with pet-friendly sites that accommodate both tents and RVs, featuring picnic tables and toilets. Many camping areas near Pinedale lack shade trees, so visitors should bring portable shelters for pets during summer months to prevent overheating. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with campers reporting sightings of pronghorn, eagles, and osprey—requiring dogs to remain under control to prevent wildlife disturbances.

    Highline Trail RV Park

    Dry Camping, thank you!

    We had some vehicle issues and needed a place to stay close to Pinedale. The campground was booked for sites with hookups but allowed to stay on the lawn to dry camp and use our generator for the same price as if we were full hook up. Twelve miles away from Pinedale mechanic, but the only place available at the time for what we needed.

    Trails End Campground Elkhart Park

    Nice high elevation camp

    UPDATE: road has been torn up to gravel last 4 mi or so. Intent is to repave it but as of June 20 2024 it was washboard dusty gravel last few miles to top.

    Small campground at end of paved road. Only a few sites can handle RVs, total of 8 sites but # 2-5 are large enough for TT or RVs, $12 nite, 14d limit. Vault toilet, but NO water and no trash. No reservations, all sites are FF. Camp host is onsite at the cabin A-frame info bldg. Large area of horse trailer parking and hiking TH parking adjacent. No cell service but short distance down main paved at a viewpoint cell signal seems to connect. 10 miles from Pinedale, this is really just the end of road parking for access to wilderness trails above. CG elevation is 9350 ft.

    Fremont Lake

    Best large developed campground in area

    Nice large developed CG on a beautiful lake. Only 6.1 mi from Pinedale on paved road entire way but some potholes along the way. This is the best CG in area for most folks with TTs and RVs (tents not so much), as cg loops are paved and amenities/camp hosts present. 50 sites total, 16 sites are FF, rest can be reserved. $15 nite/$7.50 senior, 14d limit. Water spigots scattered around but no TT/RV dump and no full hookups. Cell signal is dependent on location..closer to lake or more on south end the cell signal is better. Very nice boat ramp area with parking and a dumpster (only one for entire CG). Day use beach at north end of cg is best for kayaks and other non-motorized water craft launches.

    Fremont Group Camp area is on the upper gravel rd just outside the main entrance to the regular Fremont CG. Group camp rate is $35 nite but camping is better suited to TT and RVs as the tent spots appear to be very limited.

    Dubois-Wind River KOA

    Unique area

    Dubois/Wind River KOA, Dubois , Wyoming

    Dubois , Wyoming is another town on the old west trail. I only stayed overnight after Grand Teton NP but would have stayed longer had my schedule allowed to explore more. It is a little touristy but there is history there if you search it out.

    The KOA was a smaller one, back behind a gas station which was convenient. There are cool TP’s that you can rent and the cabins site along the Wind River which makes for some nice scenery when you are chilling at the campground. Don’t look to hard though, across the river is a neighborhood. The road in was a little rough and the gravel needed some maintenance, otherwise it was a well maintained parking lot like so many of the KOA’s are now. The playground equipment looked archaic! I did not use any of the facilities so I have no information on them and there was no dog park. I arrived after close, found my paperwork on the lite kiosk and I left out in the morning before the office opened. For the price I expect more but it seems like the area dictates the quality of the KOA.

    Windhaven RV Resort

    Great stay

    We called & were lucky to get one of the last spots for the night with full hook ups. The hosts were super friendly. The restrooms were spotless & spacious- lots of attention to detail with clothes hooks & benches. The grounds were very clean & well kept. They even have a leash free clean dog park. We couldn’t have asked for a better one night stay!

    Fremont Lake

    MIxture of semi raw to basic conviences

    THE MID campground at Fremont Lake,  just outside of Pinedale, WY. (Green River lakes, New Fork lake, Willow Lake, Fremont lake, Half Moon and Boulder lake::

    the 6 larger, glacial cut lakes  in Pinedale area, all 7500 to 8000

    Elv). 

    The. Mid Campground and boat launch area at Fremont Lake has about 52 units, although it seems freq. Under modification by the USFS... 

    Narrow paved, pull thru and back in sites., on hillside not far above the lake.  Interspaced water available,  but "community"  not per site use.   toilets under upgrade.   Lots of shade in the pines.    Boat launching with care at campground, also being improved.  

    Tables and firepits all sites. 

    This is a good place to base out of when fishing the Pinedale area, and is fairly close to town for supplies. 

    FREMONT LAKE is about 9 miles

    long,  and fishing can be good or spotty for MACS, & BOWS 

    It is primarily a trolling lake and not much on Bank fishing, Fremont is around 600ft deep and relatively narrow. 

    Usually FS has large trash disposals at campground exit. 

    finding a level pull thru almost non e x istant.

    Windhaven RV Resort

    Good Stop over

    Stayed here after leaving Yellowstone NP and driving through Grand Tetons NP. Couldn't see the Tetons because of wildfire smoke. The owners were welcoming and friendly small town folk. Small place with maybe 25 sites or so, full hookups. Some on the river. Had a pet area, laundry, and short walking trail nearby. Big rig friendly. Best of all....WiFi was great.

    Warren Bridge Recreation Area Designated Dispersed Camping

    Roadside Camp On The Green River

    This nice little Campground is all first come first served. Sits on the banks on the Green River. There is water, pit toilets, fire Rings, lamp post, and water. The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway. However after dark the traffic Falls to almost zero.

    The campground is located a dozen miles or so north of Pinedale Wyoming which offers full services. It also provides easy access to the amazing Green River Lakes area. Just across the highway a gravel road parallels the Green River offering about a dozen free riverside campsites. The main road to these is rough but well maintained. However the road to several of the sites are quite narrow and rough and should be scouted if you're pulling a trailer or driving a larger RV.

    There is amazing Wildlife viewing right from the campground. On my last visit I saw mule deer, moose, and Antelope right from my campsite.
