"Great spot for an overnight stay if you’re passing through Rock Springs. Pay when you get here. Camp host is in the small house in the corner of the parking lot. Beautiful mountain range view."
"Warm respite for weary travelers after 3 days of primitive camping and 8 hours crossing the Great Divide Basin desert following in the path of westward emigrant trails."
"All open and easy to turn around campers. Road was in good shape. No issues with a Tahoe pulling camper. The views were great but it was windy."
"Easy dirt road access to many camping spots. Att had great service, very windy and some road noise from the interstate. 10/10 would recommend."
"Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge."
"Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area."
RangerGreat spot for an overnight stay if you’re passing through Rock Springs. Pay when you get here. Camp host is in the small house in the corner of the parking lot. Beautiful mountain range view. Bring soap and TP if you’re using the restroom/ showers. Restrooms are clean. Gas and supplies are nearby to this fair ground event center. Will stay here again on our way to Colorado.
TravelerWarm respite for weary travelers after 3 days of primitive camping and 8 hours crossing the Great Divide Basin desert following in the path of westward emigrant trails. The caretakers (just follow the signs) were amazing, invited me into their home, and treated me like a good neighbor. We arrived on the final night of the Sweetwater County Fair – aka ‘The Big Show’ – so we were treated to an awesome fireworks display (Wyoming!) $34/night for full camper hookups (water, sewer, 15A & 30A), hot showers, trash services, and they have ample stalls, so no pre-reservations are required.
ScoutWith a nice view of a beautiful Wyoming mountain ridge, this is basically a massive RV park for events at the events center. It is close to I-80 behind an industrial park, so not an "unspoiled nature" experience by any stretch.
Well maintained 15/30/50 amp and water hookups. Round gravel surface (not sharp gravel, more like river gravel) with good drainage. Stopped here overnight to ride out a rainstorm. A little muddy in spots.
The caretaker and her husband were lovely folks and invited me into their warm and charming country home to pay for the site, where chicken and dumplings were cooking. They let my pup play in their yard with their pups for a few minutes. You can't plan or buy warm experiences with nice folks like that.
Good spot to stop and rest for the night on 80. Lots of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in the area.
TravelerWe are into some truck issues when passing through and had to find a place to stay for a few days. This worked out great. We had a 24 ft camper and trailer with two side by sides. We had plenty of room for both. Lots of places to choose from. All open and easy to turn around campers. Road was in good shape. No issues with a Tahoe pulling camper. The views were great but it was windy. We could ride the ATVs from campsite and had hundreds of miles of trails to choose from. Saw wild horses.
GuideThis is a great spot. Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge.
ScoutWe’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.
ScoutWe 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
TravelerWe 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!
ScoutGreat stop at the top of a small mountain. Easy dirt road access to many camping spots. Att had great service, very windy and some road noise from the interstate. 10/10 would recommend.
