Guide$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.
GuideThis was the perfect place to stay for the Lander area, especially if you plan to access the Wind River Range in Pinedale.
OVERALL: Great customer service and handled our reservation over the phone- easy to work with and accommodating. Reasonably priced and used Good Sam discount. Laundry is$2.50/wash and$1.75/dry and the units were very good. They cleaned our clothes well, where most RV parks the washers are not good. It was super windy at times in the afternoon. We even lost power for a few hours one evening because of the wind gusts, but it wasn't too dusty so we could keep our windows open some of the time to let fresh air in.
SITE: Gravel roads throughout the park. Turns just a little narrow, but completely manageable- you just have to pay attention. There wasn't a lot of campground scenery at our site, but you can capture beautiful sunsets at the top of the hill at the park. Our site was almost level, we just needed one link on the left side. Lots of shade, along with a nice picnic table and fire pit(although no fires allowed right now).
WIFI: Works pretty well for campground wifi. Video calls and streaming were spotty and unreliable, but everything else worked just fine. We also switched over to our AT&T phone hotspot to help with internet speed at times during the work day.
NEARBY: There is a gas station right across the street. There is a Safeway or Mr. D's just a few miles down the road. Restaurants, bar and ice cream just a walk away downtown, along with a few cute shops- Dulce Ice Cream; Lander Bar, Cowfish and The Middle Fork(to name a few). They have gluten free options as well!
TravelerWe usually prefer disbursed but needed power for AC with temps in the 90s. They have nice shady spots with picnic tables and full service (water, power, sewer). Bathrooms are clean with adequate # toilet stalls for number of people. The RV park was full and no issues with neighbors. Only potential downside is it's right off the highway and a bit noisy but that's Par for the course of most RV parks in towns/cities in my experience.
LegendFun place in a beautiful setting in the Shoshone National Forest in the southern most part of the Windriver Mountains.
Be perepared for afternoon rain. But bring plenty of drinking water as there is no potable water here.
The rate is $10/night pretty reasonable! The camp sites are kind of close together, but it is also fun to get to know your fellows campers.
There are pit toilets, bear proof storage, and nice tables and fire rings with grates. There is no potable water here.
There is a lodge on the lake with rustic cabins for rent. starting at $85/night Www.louislake.com
I prefer Fiddlers Lake ( see my Review) There is abundant primitive camping all over the area if you prefer space over amenities.
GuideWith the only RV park in town, I was skeptical of a price gouging. $30 for non-electric/ no water. Amazing! One partially shaded site was available - the clerk let us pick. Fire ring available to have a fire. Woman’s Bathroom is clean & quaintly updated with fresh paint & cheery shower curtain. Laundry facilities & outdoor washing area (could be used for getting water). Grassy dog area complete with poop bags, shovel & rake.

LegendFountain 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.
GuideWe went in July - so bring bug spray if you go at the same time we did! Louis Lake is beautiful. There are some rustic cabins just next to it that you can rent out. Be aware that there isn’t electricity, but there are lots of canoes and kayaks you can take on the lake as well as life vests to wear. If you drive a little ways from there you can do an AMAZING hike that ends in beautiful waterfalls and a “slide rock” that is very smooth and you can slide over the falls. Park at Bruce’s (it’s a good parking spot) then hike Popo Aggies trail to the falls.
