Fishing and boating enthusiasts will find direct access to Flaming Gorge Reservoir at this Forest Service campground in southwestern Wyoming. Buckboard Crossing operates from mid-May through October, offering both RV sites with electric hookups and standard tent sites across two distinct loops.
Loop A caters primarily to RVs up to 45 feet with electrical hookups, while Loop B provides standard sites without power. The campground sits in an exposed location with metal shade canopies over picnic tables, though campers report the open terrain offers little natural shade for RVs and tents. Sites 32 and 33 in Loop B provide elevated views across the high desert landscape. Wind conditions can be significant during the day, typically calming by evening for campfires.
Clean restrooms with flush toilets and showers serve both loops, though shower facilities lock at 9 PM. Greg L. notes the campground has "water, toilets, trash and cell signal." Cell coverage requires walking to the main road from most sites. The nearby marina provides boat launch access, while Buckboard Marina RV sits just southeast for additional accommodation options.
Standard sites cost $22 per night, with electric hookup sites at $33. Senior Pass holders receive half-price discounts. Reservations are available through the Forest Service system, though walk-up sites may be found during off-peak periods.
