Robertson camping options offer access to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest at elevations ranging from 6,700 to 10,500 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during the day but drop to 40-50°F at night, even in July. Many camping areas require traveling on dirt roads that can be rough after rain.
What to do
Fishing at Little Lyman Lake: This small campground has 6 RV sites and 4 tent sites where anglers catch brook and speckled trout. "The fishing after everyone left was great, brook and speckled trout, small but fun to catch on light tackle or flies," notes Bill W. about Little Lyman Lake Campground.
Explore historic sites: Fort Bridger RV Camp sits adjacent to the historic Fort Bridger Museum. "Only about 5-10 minutes off I-80, it won't take you long to get here. It is fare enough away that you won't hear any sounds coming from the interstate. Or, check out the nearby Fort Bridger Museum," suggests Aaron about Fort Bridger RV Camp.
Lake activities: The Stateline area offers water recreation options. "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," shares Drew W. about Stateline Campground.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds in the area maintain exceptionally clean restrooms. "They have the largest private bathrooms. Complete with toilets in a private room. Very clean," reports Elsie H. about Fort Bridger RV Camp. Similarly, at Lyman KOA, a camper notes: "Spotless bathrooms inc showers. Little but completely fenced dog area. Heated pool (in season)."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The high mountain meadows provide excellent wildlife habitat. "We saw moose and deer and went fishing. Clean area and safe," says Becky J. about Marsh Lake Campground.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds offer peaceful settings away from crowds. "We found this place completely by accident while exploring the high uinta mountains. It was such a great little campground, very secluded and private feeling sites, without being too far from everyone," writes Alex C. about Meeks Cabin Campground.
What you should know
Water availability varies: Some campgrounds have limited or no water access. "Important note: no water at the campground!! We found this campground while traveling east along Highway 80. It was about 45 minutes off of Highway 80 and the way we took it was all dirt roads through a lot of free ranging sheep," warns Kristin C. about Meeks Cabin Campground.
Road conditions can be challenging: Many access roads require careful driving. "The road is rocky, so rocky that we actually popped a tire on the way in so we camped at one of the first sites with a fire ring," cautions Jeni N. about West Fork Smiths Fork Dispersed Camping.
Insects can be problematic: Particularly near water sources, bugs may be abundant. "There were a lot of bugs, but that's expected when camping next to the water," mentions Adam about China Meadows.
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with activities: Sites with swimming or fishing options keep children entertained. "The lake is really cold, but there are people in fishing boats, kayaks, and float tubes. The fishing is ok, but there is a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats," suggests Britney O. about Marsh Lake Campground.
Consider campgrounds with biking opportunities: Some areas offer safe biking options for kids. "The loop is dirt road, but it is smooth so you can ride bikes around it!" notes Britney O.
Dog-friendly campgrounds near Robertson: For families traveling with pets, Lyman KOA provides dedicated pet areas. "Made a last min reservation here in my sprinter camper after high winds on 80 made driving near impossible. Fellow campers were quiet and lovely and my dog loved the little dog run," shares Sarah C.
Tips from RVers
Check site specifications carefully: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger RVs. "The host here will likely guide you to the spot and help you set up camp. There are 24 sites on a loop several are group sites. The access is from a dirt road shortly after leaving Robertson Wyoming. Roughly 12 miles of dirt road that is very well maintained until you enter the national forest," explains Mike E. about Meeks Cabin Campground.
Arrive early at first-come sites: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially on weekends. "We were able to make a reservation and check in after hours. Quite and only a handful of campers. Great spot to get some rest!" recommends Jeff&Jenn P. about Lyman KOA.
Consider alternative routes: Some approaches are better for RVs than others. "Road is a little ruff coming from the west, but coming in from the north through Wyoming is way easier on the vehicle. It takes me about an hour longer, but it is worth it," advises Joshua Y. about Little Lyman Lake Campground.
