Fremont Canyon Campground

Beautiful, secluded, with a Pretty Slot Canyon

We enjoyed staying here as it was a change of pace from the rolling hills of southwestern Wyoming.  The reservoir that the N Platte leads into is actually Pathfinder Reservoir and not Alcova.  I think Alcova is the reservoir that lies further upstream closer to Lander.  Regardless of the name of the reservoir it was an absolutely gorgeous place to watch the sun rise and set as it lit up Fremont Canyon at both times!  Nearby there are plenty opportunities for boating and fishing, including about 20 m below the camp spots were dozens of fish swimming that we could see from above!  A little bit to the east there are also a decent amount of trad climbs that you can hike to the bottom of in low water or rap down to in case there is high water.

Now about the campground itself.  This was a completely primitive campsite/campground as all the spots were pull-offs on the south side of the road (N side is private, don't camp there!)  The only preexisting things at the campsites were stone fire rings and semi level dirt areas to toss up a tent.  While this is definitely not a place for glampers or RVers, if you have a tent or are car camping it is one  of the best spots in the area!
