"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."
"Good thermal wind you can rely on in the afternoon, wild horses, and a view of the Winds. Pretty remote and I am usually the only one here. If you are a kiteboarder and want to ride look me up!"
"Very windy but it’s Wyoming; about 11am-dusk. Lots of great rockhounding in the area. BLM land; so 14 day limit. Would definitely return."
"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."
"The entire area is dispersed camping with spots on hills overlooking the lake or down shoreside. The entire area is accessible for camping. I didn't see any spots that didn't look lake accessible."
"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!"
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.
ScoutI love this spot. I live in Jackson, WY, and come to kiteboard here all the time in the summer. Good thermal wind you can rely on in the afternoon, wild horses, and a view of the Winds. Pretty remote and I am usually the only one here. If you are a kiteboarder and want to ride look me up!
TravelerThere are many types of camping areas with a variety of ground. This beach area was beautiful. We were greeted with a huge herd of sheep one afternoon. Lots of wildlife. Very windy but it’s Wyoming; about 11am-dusk. Lots of great rockhounding in the area. BLM land; so 14 day limit. Would definitely return.
ScoutSuper private area with great access to the reservoir. We swam most of the afternoon. My car battery died while I was there and there was absolutely no one around - thank goodness for a man named James who worked in the area. He had jumper cables and got me out of a tough situation. There's also service by the road, just not at the individual sites.
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.
