Forest service (dirt) road leading to Lost Dog day use area in Flaming Gorge. There are places along the road to pull off and boondock, with great sunrise and sunset views and occasional glimpses of the gorge. looks like it might be dicey after heavy rain
Scout
It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.
TravelerIt's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility
Why is this even on this app?!
Guide
OHV trail. Many side pullouts. Quiet, dusty, beautiful views On a butte so windy. One OHV passed before dusk on a Friday night. Otherwise all by myself. Accessible with fro t wheel Promaster. Go slow
Traveler
Really nice view right by the water with the mountains in the distance. Saw lots of birds, pronghorns, horses, and a couple of jack rabbits. Easy road, good service, picnic area, overall all pretty barebones but nice spot!
Guide
Nice river side camping on a rock beach. Antelope, deer and birds of all kinds are plentiful. There are 2 roads each has at least one really nice dispersed camping spot.
TravelerWide open BLM land. This particular spot is easily accessible, although I couldn't tell how friendly other campers were and you have to drive over sagebrush to really pull off the road if the one or two real pull offs are occupied. I ended up driving around rutted and rocky roads off the ones that are on Google maps, trying to find a good pull off but the few there are were already occupied, some by folks that seemed to have been there for a while. Some of the side roads were really rough and I was lucky to make it through them in my Subaru, although any vehicle could handle the main road to the spot tagged here.
It's also really exposed to the wind and elements with no trees. It's up pretty high and there's not really any wind break from the landscape. Very cold in mid September but I'd imagine really hot at times in the summer. I may have hit it at a particularly windy time but it definitely nearly made me look for an alternative spot, of which options are limited in the area.
Aside from that it was beautiful. Moon gazing and sunset and sunrise, smelled heavenly of sagebrush. I wouldn't count on seeing wild horses here- I read that recently they've been pushed out but you can look for them further east.
ScoutNot level but tons of space. Several other rigs here and no one is close to each other. Getting over 400mbs on T-Mobile 5g
Traveler
Great views from the top, but we chose a more sheltered site due to the strong chilly wind. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. There were many good sites along the road in as well. Road could be done in a minivan when dry, but might get tricky when wet.
Traveler
We decided on a rim to checkout out this location and we are glad we did! We arrived to the campground around 7:00 pm without a reservation and easily found the home where the caretakers stay. The nicest couple assisted us and were even going to let us park for free, but we decided to take advantage of the $17 full RV hookup spot just to conserve power and refill our water tank. We parked super close to the bathrooms which were nice with each room having its own toilet and shower. There were other campers and RVs there but we still felt like we had plenty of space. The free wifi was a nice touch!
Scout
We’re here in mid September and only two other campers. Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area. The campground on the tip of the little peninsula was available and surround by water on three sides was available, but a little windy. Our selected spot was more secluded but still right on the waters edge.
TravelerI stayed here in June. Solitary, quiet, and beautiful. Great views! I came in from the SW side of Little Mountain and couldn’t make it to the top in my AWD Highlander, but there were plenty of flat spots to make camp. It was a tad buggy but overall it was 👍
Traveler
Only stayed a night, got in at 9pm and left around 8am. Peaceful and quiet with no one else around. No mice, just some moths. Had some great views when the sun came up! Also great fishing at the reservoir!
Scout
It is very close to the interstate and thus noisy. Laundry worked quite well and we got a 5 dollar discount being a senior citizen over 52, lol. Showers are clean, but waterpresure is low, so it takes a bit to wash out shampoo.
GuideIt’s a nice enough lake, if you like mice! I caught 11 in 2 nights. We’re leaving this rodent infested area!!
Guide
Nice area if you like mice. I always set traps out everywhere we go, caught 4 the 1st night, 7 the next. We’re leaving this rodent infested place!!
LegendOur Ford navigation was having a bad day and wanted us to take Exit 91 from I-80 west bound to get to the campground (CG). That exit would have you going through the middle of town, but the alternate navigation we always run(either Waze and/or Google Maps) brought us to the correct exit for the CG. We double-checked the website and verified they are located right off of I-80 at Exit 85 (east bound) or 89(west bound). When we got to the CG, another rig was checking in, so we had to sit on the somewhat busy road until we could make the turn on the street for the CG office. The lady checking us in was super friendly and we proceeded to the upper E section to pull through site 11 with FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and our F450. The utilities worked fine but we needed a reducer as the water pressure was around 100 psi. We read reviews concerning low water pressure and they were working on the waterline in the CG so be aware. There are trees in or near most of the sites. We put our Starlink in the front part of the pad for a northern sky shot. There are 34 sites in the E section; 19 pull-throughs plus 10 small back-ins and 4 tent sites on the back fence where I-80 runs(you will hear road noise anywhere in this CG. There’s a bathhouse and a small fenced dog area. While we were here for 3 days, the poop bag dispenser was empty and the regular-sized garbage can in the dog area was 1/2 full of poop bags. The laundry facility is in the bottom section where the larger back-in sites/permanent party are located. We checked out the public river access at the end of the road down from where the office is located. You could launch a kayak, but there isn’t much parking. After trying to log into the CG WiFi several times, we connected and the WiFi was not good. We got 3 bars on Verizon. One of the transient workers started a loud diesel truck and let it run a long time before departing each morning. Unfortunately, this is a typical occurrence in these types of CGs. We were impressed with the local area brochures they gave us on local dining and the wild horses. They have 24-hour laundry and showers in the CG. In our humble opinion, the best thing about this CG was the coffee and craft beer on draft at the office. They have 4 craft beers on draft and you can get a flight for$5. The coffee and draft beers at the officer are worth checking out. Try a burger on a cornmeal bun at Broadway Burger Station in Rock Springs. This CG was okay for an overnighter or a couple of days at most.
Guide
The campground is fine. However, we had a pull through and the area we were in they put one camper faced one way and another faced the other way to maximize hook ups in between two units. Results in your campside facing a neighbor campside. Might feel awkward if you are trying to enjoy the outside. The bathrooms looked clean and everything else seems fine. An area plus is an local drive to see wild horses. we did and and saw some.
Scoutthere were only 2 other groups here when we arrived late last night. Didn’t get to see any wild horses but the sunrise was stunning. Pretty good Verizon phone service too
TravelerConvenient location. Kind of. 374 is closed for several miles just northwest of here - we came from that direction so had to hop on 80 and backtrack a little after hitting town.
It’s a great spot if it fits your needs but it’s mostly pavement and amenities. The tent and back in sites are closest to the highway noise. But doesn’t matter because everyone gets the noise. Probably want earplugs, a fan, or a/c.
Guide
I never saw any staff, there were few campers. The bathroom had some black bugs. Had to flush toilet a couple times and rinse sink out to get them out of my way. No cell service at campsite but walk to the road and you can get a bar.
Ranger
Entrance is marked as Firehole Campground, about 12 miles from Green river. Road is not maintained and deeply rutted. Made it about 5 mi in and created my own turnaround spot as there are none. Ended up in a previously used camping area that has no fire pits or any facilities whatsoever. Fire danger all around so didn't build one. No rocks anywhere to create a fire pit. Nice, Serene and quiet location. No Wildlife to speak of. Great for one night but no service of any kind including cell or gps.
Scout
We spent this past Friday night at this dispersed campground. While the grounds are beautiful, it was extremely noisy with Harding going on all night by the Lakeshore. It was extremely noisy with all of the power equipment on and near the lake, including ATVs, generators, speed boats. If you were looking for peace and quiet, I would move away from the Lakeshore and Camp on the road going out. The road going out is quite rough and has about mile and a half of pretty bad washboard and is sandy in some spots as well
Guide
A great little spot with a wonderful view. Little bit or driving on a rough dirt road. Would go to this spot again, would not go back for rent camping though. Too windy
GuideNice grassy spots, just pull in where ever you see a fire ring. The dirt road in isn’t too bad and is pretty short, there were plenty of sedans driving in so it’s accessible for most vehicles when the ground is dry. Lots of cows and cow poop so watch out if you bring dogs! I had full bars of LTE extended network on Verizon, enough to send texts, make calls, and could load some webpages but it was pretty slow
ScoutNot too busy, terrific views of the city below. Great experience, great site. Would recommend
ScoutA little bit more breezy and cool than down below. Lots of great places to pull over. Great views.
