Fremont Canyon Campground

Fishing and rock climbing draw most visitors to Fremont Canyon Campground, a county-managed site along the North Platte River corridor outside Alcova, Wyoming. The canyon walls rise above the river, and from the pull-off sites on the south side of the road, campers can look down and spot fish in the water below. About 20 feet down from the camping area, dozens of fish are visible from above, and anglers who wade in have reported catching rainbow trout throughout the day. Climbers have access to trad routes nearby, reachable by hiking down the canyon side in low water or rappelling in when water levels run high.

The campground runs along the south side of Fremont Canyon Road. Sites are pull-offs with stone fire rings and leveled dirt areas. Full hookups are available, with electric, water, and sewer connections and a dump station on site, making it functional for RVs up to 45 feet. One reviewer noted that the RV area shares a road with town maintenance facilities, so early-morning truck traffic is a factor worth knowing before you book. Tent camping policies have varied by visit, so confirming details at the time of reservation is worth the extra step.

Nearby, Cottonwood Campground and Canyon Overlook Dispersed give campers additional options in the same corridor. A small beach and a marina are within easy reach of the main camping area. As one reviewer put it, this spot provides "a change of pace from the rolling hills of southwestern Wyoming." Campers who want direct access to the river, canyon views, and fishing without traveling far from basic amenities will find this campground worth a closer look.
