Hams Fork Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Accessible via a dusty Forest Service road, Hams Fork Campground sits within Bridger National Forest at roughly 16 sites, with shared artesian running water and two pit toilets on-site. The campground runs from late May through October, and while alcohol is permitted, pets are not. Flat terrain means wind can move through without much buffer, something multiple reviewers have noted as a consistent factor.

Ham's Fork Creek runs alongside the campground and holds trout, making this a workable base for anglers who want streamside access without a long hike. Pine trees provide partial shade across the sites, though coverage varies by location. Some sites have grown in from lack of use, so expect variation in how cleared individual spots are. No cell service should be assumed given the forest setting.

Gary S. notes that "some dispersed camping can be found on the way up to the forest," which gives campers additional flexibility if the established sites are occupied on a busy weekend. Bear boxes are now in place at the campground, replacing older garbage containers. The campground does not draw large crowds based on reviewer accounts, though the limited site count means it can fill. Nearby options include Kelley Guard Station to the west and Hobble Creek further north. Hams Fork works best for anglers and campers comfortable with basic facilities and variable wind exposure.

Many campers appreciated the excellent fishing opportunities in Ham's Fork Creek and nearby tributaries. Several reviews noted concerns about windy conditions due to the flat, exposed terrain, though basic facilities like water and bear boxes were well-received.

Grew up camping here

I grew up camping here and it’s one of my favorites. I swear there used to be garbages but now there are bear boxes which is great. Some the camp spots are over grown because they don’t get used much.

Ham's Fork Campground

This is our local go-to spot for weekend camping and we really enjoy it. About 16 camp sites with shared running Artesian water and two pit toilets. Ham's Fork Creek runs nearby with trout in it. Campground is in a pine tree area so some shade available, but also can be windy at times.  Some dispersed camping can be found on the way up to the forest.  It is about 45 minutes north of Kemmerer, WY.

Too flat

Not that great of scenery and it’s too flat so the wind gets at it too much

Great fishing!

Just off a dusty forest service road. The fishing is great, lots of little tributaries to fish. There is a pit toilet available. I'd recommend pitching a tent in the forest vs. camping here, although it was not busy, there are only a few sites at this campground.
