  Firehole Canyon Campground

  Off the Beaten Path

  In the off the beaten path category, Firehole Canyon, in southwestern WY, definitely qualifies.  Just getting there, from nearly anywhere, is an adventure in itself. With about 45 miles between the campground and the closest town, campers should come prepared with everything they need. 

  The sites have very unique set ups, that we’ve never seen anywhere else, and that’s saying something cause we’ve camped all over this continent. Each campsite shares a paved parking area with its neighbor and the picnic/ fire ring shelter serves each campsite to one side or the other. Each site gets its own privacy but with all the space within this vast campground it feels just a bit strange to cluster pairs of sites in this way. However, it makes the perfect choice for groups needing more than one space! 

  The bathrooms are old, but clean, and the showers were wicked hot with plenty of pressure.   There are no electrical hook-ups, so bring your solar panels because there is plenty of sun to be had.  

  The Green River which creates the reservoir is the perfect locations for recreational paddlers, boaters and anglers. Walking the lakeshore or hiking the ATV two-tracks in the area are good ways to spend an afternoon not spent on the water.

  Green River RB Park

  An easy stop

  The Travel Camp is a good place to stop if you’re short on options and don’t want to remove yourself too far from I-80. There are about 8 tent sites: basic sand-filled plot, grill, showers, and toilets nearby. The sand is hard so you better have a decent sleeping pad. The office closes at eight, so you need to check in before then- $27.50 for one night of tent camping. The highway is very close so you will definitely hear trucks throughout the night and sometimes the ground may rumble a bit. I was hoping to camp in a dispersed site but I couldn’t locate anything nearby, so the Travel Camp proved a welcome option as night fell.

  Firehole Canyon Campground

  Remote, but beautiful

  I have mixed review of this campsite. I wouldn’t stay here again and here’s why.

  Zero cell service!
  The wind was insane so spent most of our time indoors! Snowed twice! Hailed. The hours we had nice weather were wonderful as we hiked to the beaches. The views are spectacular!

  The bathrooms had no soap or way to dry hands. One of the toilets wasn’t working. The shower was very small, but hot water was a blessing! No electric outlets for a hair dryer, fyi. They should install a soap dispenser and towel dispenser. With Covid, you’d think it would be a no brainer. $22/night (less with senior pass).

  Stayed 5 nights, paid for 6 but with the 2nd snowstorm and high winds I decided to leave a day early!

  Oh! Forgot. ALL sites are shared!! Shocking to think you’d have to share a campsite with total strangers. I also have a German shepherd who would not have appreciated a close neighbor with a dog! You literally share the same pad! Thankfully, no one else showed up next to me!

  Firehole Canyon Campground

  Breezy Green River camping in the Gorge

  A great campground set down along the Green River. This is a loop set up, with each site nicely spaced with plenty of sage between sites for privacy. Most sites have their own covered picnic table (some share a covered area divided by a wall), and all have at least a picnic table and firepit. Some campsites have better views of the River (which kinda looks like a lake), but those sites seemed to be a bit more windy. The shower house was clean if a bit outdated. Nearby is a nice day use area with a boat launch and fish cleaning station. I stayed here two nights since I liked the privacy and quiet at night while I checked out the gorge and looked for wild horses in the day.

  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

  Good stop for “along the way”

  This is a “Journey” KOA and is being rated as such. The spaces are very close together and they pull neighbors in alternating directions so that you’re facing a neighbor’s front door when you come out of yours, minimizing privacy if you want to eat or cook outdoors. There are some premium spaces with fences and patios but they were all booked. The tent sites look very private with nice grass pads. The trailer sites are all gravel and dusty, but it’s pretty standard. Easy access off the highway and we didn’t experience any noise. The back of the property is very scenic with some off-roaring and hiking trails. If you’re in partial hook ups in the front of the grounds, you’ll be abutting the petroleum factory. The community showers and restrooms seemed pretty clean and well maintained. The laundry was basic and mostly functioning (a few out of order machines), but we did our laundry with no issue. The pool is small but clean and a good temperature. Staff is friendly and the office store is stocked. The area is very nearby to the Northern end of Flaming Gorge NRA which is pretty awesome. Plenty of other things to do nearby, though the towns of Rock Springs and Green River are a little lacking. Guests are mostly transient and, though the park filled up each day, it mostly cleared out by the following morning. Very convenient along the way stop but also nice for an extra night or two to explore the area! Ask in the office for some tips on places to explore.

  Killpecker Sand Dunes Open Play Area Campground

  Super fun recreational place!

  I’ve lived near here for years and this weekend was my first visit. The dunes are amazing!! Bring your dirt bike, side by side or other ORV and play your heart out!
  The camping area offers sites with a picnic table and grills available. Sites are spaced adequately but there is no vegetation coverage or anything separating the area. No water available or any other amenities.

  Firehole Canyon Campground

  Amazing views

  My favorite campground so far on our cross country road trip. The views and sunset were fantastic. The camping spots were paved and flat and each picnic table had its own pavilion for shade. Each site also had new fire rings that were really nice to cook on. Additionally if you enjoy overIanding there are many fun trails around the campground. I would highly recommend this campground and will be visiting again

  Green River RB Park

  Exactly as described. Nice easy stop.

  Overall Impression: Campground was exactly as described. It’s a bit outside the main towns, but peaceful and scenic—perfect for relaxing. Manager was incredibly accommodating and kind.

  Location & Recreation: Right along the river, which makes it ideal if you bring tubes or kayaks. 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.

  Site Quality: Sites were level, mostly open (not much tree cover), and full hookups were in great condition—clean and easy to reach. No grass at the sites, which is typical for the area, but everything was tidy and well-kept.

  Amenities: Each site had a large, sturdy picnic table. We didn’t use the bathhouse, but water pressure in our camper was a little low. The office/common area has a fun little bar with local beers, plus espresso drinks and Italian sodas—nice touch! We didn’t use not find the laundry but it’s not within the main camping area you have to drive if you don’t have a second vehicle it’s not likely accessible.

  Connectivity: T-Mobile home internet didn’t work well for us at the site, but the campground office had fast, stable WiFi and plenty of comfortable seating for working or hanging out.

  Would We Stay Again? Yes—especially if you're looking for river access, reliable amenities, and a laid-back vibe just outside the busier areas.
