    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Middle Baxter Road dispersed camping area allows pets with no additional fees or reservations required. Located near Superior, Wyoming, this gravel site provides space for both tents and RVs in an open setting with no defined campsites. Several visitors note they had no trouble finding spots for larger rigs with enough space between campers for privacy. The area sits behind an oil processing facility which occasionally produces industrial odors when the wind shifts. No amenities are provided—no water, toilets, electric hookups, picnic tables, or trash service. T-Mobile users report excellent signal strength with some getting over 400 Mbps on 5G service.

    Camping with dogs requires preparation as the area contains significant petrified dog waste from previous visitors. Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds offers a developed alternative with pet-friendly full hookup sites for $17-49 per night. The fairgrounds provides clean restrooms with individual showers, level gravel parking, and on-site caretakers available for assistance. White Mountain Road and Green River Flaming Gorge also permit dogs at their dispersed sites, both featuring fire rings and allowing larger vehicles. For overnight stops with pets, the Rock Springs Walmart Supercenter permits RV parking with proximity to Starbucks for morning coffee, serving as a reliable stopover during travel or when Interstate 80 closes during winter storms.

      Little America RV Park - A Traveler's Oasis

      Brand New RV Park

      Great stay here. No real amenities except for a good bar and restaurant. We had lunch there one day. Decent space between sites. No dog park although large grassy area to walk the dogs. RV park is not gated.

      Very friendly staff. Clean Park and quiet.

      Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

      Good for an overnighter

      Clean, free, hot showers, clean bathrooms. Nice little dog park. Friendly staff. Easy access, free WiFi.

      The only downsize is that the pull through campsite, you come in from the right and your neighbor comes in from the left so your front doors are facing each other and are about 12 feet apart, ok for one night, I suppose.

      Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

      Easy place to crash between Denver and Jackson Hole WY

      We just needed a quick place to crash on the way from Denver to Jackson Hole Wy area.  We didn't want to make the full drive at once since we needed to set up a campsite when we got there, so we stopped here.

      It had snowed the night before and it was cold.  However, the fences protect the campsites for the tent campers, so we didn't feel the wind at all.  We were so well protected.  We were even able to pull our car in front of the site, and this blocked our site from view of others.  

      The facilities were nice:  bathrooms were spotless and there were laundry facilities and many other things.  

      There was even a cute dog park that we could exercise our husky in. He was happy :).  Plus, the fencing around the campsite allowed us to set up a nice dog run for him.

      The people were very nice when checking in, and it was very organized.  

      We would stay there again!

      Flaming Gorge NRA Dispersed

      Amazing Dispersed Camping

      Dispersed camping on the Wyoming side is practically on a desert oasis so bring plenty of shade. Be prepared for a bit of noise from the ATVs, some dust, and a bit of fire ants during the day. Trust me, it's still so worth it. Spend both days there in the water. This rec area is amazing! Almost guaranteed to find plenty of space (well maybe not during a holiday weekend). Theres portapots by the entrance which depending on where you set up could mean a 10-15 drive so plan on hitting the bushes. Some wildlife, we saw 4 deer and a buck very close by. Cell phone service is available in certain areas. The Utah side is gorgeous but much more crowded. Maybe good to spend a bit of time here in day use and then close the day out over on the Wyoming side.

      Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

      New Exprience

      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.

      Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

      Nice pool and great for overnight

      Clean organized KOA with nice pool. The site for pull through are alternated so the sewer connections are not underfoot for either side. The sites are very close and only the fenced off sites have fire pits. It is located directly behind several large oil tanks but enough off the highway the traffic is not heard much. Great hills behind property to let larger dogs get their wiggles out of them. Mostly designed for folks passing through the area.

      Big Sandy Dam and Reservoir

      Good stars and private but...

      We arrived at night and found a spot pretty easily. The next morning, we tried to venture outside and the mosquitos were coming in thick swarms. We ran back to the camper trying to avoid the ridiculous amount of cow patties. The dogs were snatching the dried ones up as we ran further exacerbating the trauma. 😂. Our one dog fell 10 feet into the Reservoir because the edges are not sturdy. We had a hard time getting him out as the walls are straight up. We were afraid he was going to get sucked into the spillway. Needless to say, go further than we did if you want to stay here. Not sure what it is like, but it's bound to be better.


    Guide to Superior

    Middle Baxter Road offers dispersed camping 4 miles northeast of Superior, Wyoming at an elevation of 6,800 feet. The high desert terrain features gravel surfaces with minimal vegetation. Summer temperatures range from 75-90°F during the day and cool significantly at night, while winter brings frequent below-freezing temperatures with occasional high winds.

    What to do

    Wildlife viewing: Explore the surrounding public lands for wild horses. At Green River Flaming Gorge Dispersed Site, campers report seeing numerous wild horses. "We saw over 20 wild horses," notes Cyndy & Selena R., who visited the site in August.

    Stargazing: Minimal light pollution provides excellent night sky viewing. Firehole Canyon Campground offers prime conditions for astronomy enthusiasts. One visitor noted, "Perseid meteor shower was over us this night, and this was 10/10 stargazing country."

    Water recreation: Utilize nearby river access for kayaking and tubing. The Green River provides opportunities for water activities. A short drive away, visitors note, "We walked about ½ mile down the main path and floated a mile before the dam at the county park—super fun and easy access."

    What campers like

    Mountain views: Elevated camping positions provide panoramic vistas. At White Mountain Road, campers appreciate the scenic outlook. "The view is so cool," states Amber T. Another camper mentioned, "A little bit more breezy and cool than down below. Lots of great places to pull over. Great views."

    Cell service: Several sites offer reliable connectivity. Despite the remote setting, many dispersed camping locations maintain good service. One reviewer at White Mountain Road mentioned, "Cell service was good as well. I have AT&T and had 3-4 bars the entire time."

    Spacious campsites: Ample room between sites provides privacy. Campers consistently note the generous spacing at dispersed camping locations. "The area is open and subject to a lot of wind. Not a lot of traffic and other campers are a ways off," reports a visitor to Green River Flaming Gorge.

    What you should know

    Wind conditions: Exposed sites experience significant wind throughout the year. At Big Sandy Reservoir Rec Area, campers report challenging conditions: "It was EXTREMELY windy but it had calmed down by the time the sun had began to set." Another camper adds, "Very windy but it's Wyoming; about 11am-dusk."

    Industrial proximity: Be prepared for occasional odors depending on wind direction. Several dispersed sites sit near energy production facilities. One reviewer noted, "When the wind shifted I got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasant."

    Broken glass: Inspect sites carefully before setting up camp. Some areas have debris from previous visitors. A camper at Green River Flaming Gorge warned, "Unfortunately, there was a ton of broken glass at multiple sites. My dog even cut his nose on a piece. Be very careful on which site you camp at."

    Tips for camping with families

    Bug preparation: Pack insect repellent during summer months. The Big Sandy Reservoir area reports significant insect activity. "There are lots of bugs, but overall it was still a great spot for the night," mentions Kaite G. Another camper adds, "Lots of bugs. That said, sunset was pretty & there was a lot of space!"

    Safety awareness: Watch for wildlife including rattlesnakes. Camp hosts at Firehole Canyon Campground inform visitors about local wildlife: "Camp host mentioned there are rattlesnakes in the area." Maintain proper footwear and caution when hiking with children.

    Weather preparation: Pack for temperature swings exceeding 30°F between day and night. The high desert climate brings significant temperature variations. One camper noted, "The wind and heat can be pretty intense at times," while another mentioned getting "a bit of a trick to find a flat spot" on exposed ridges.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Bring extra leveling blocks for uneven terrain. At Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds, RVers find more level options: "Mostly level wide open treeless gravel parking." One visitor appreciated "level gravel sites" that accommodate large vehicles.

    Road condition awareness: Scout dirt roads before attempting with larger rigs. Some areas require careful navigation. "The road up coming from the east was pretty bumpy though bumpy and on a climb it's more difficult to slow roll," reports an RVer with a 60-foot truck and fifth wheel. They continue, "Be careful if you put in your GPS coming from the east! It takes you to a dirt road with a 27% grade up and over the mountain! Don't try to drive down it with a big rig!"

    Water pressure fluctuations: Bring a water pressure regulator for campgrounds with full hookups. The utilities at established campgrounds may have pressure variations. A camper noted, "The utilities worked fine but we needed a reducer as the water pressure was around 100 psi."
