Hard rock meets the water's edge at Oakie Beach Campground on Alcova Reservoir in central Wyoming, where the shoreline gives way to open sightlines across the lake rather than any sandy transition zone. The access road is worth noting before arrival: reviewers describe the sides as washed out and the surface distinctly washboardy, so low-clearance vehicles may have a rough approach. Sites have enough room to accommodate larger RVs, and the campground is open year-round, though the reservoir water runs cold even in summer.
Amenities are minimal but consistently well-maintained. Vault toilets draw repeated praise from campers, with one reviewer calling them "the cleanest I have ever seen," and drinking water is available on-site. No hookups exist, but the county-managed facility does allow campfires, pets, and alcohol, and cell service is present. The campground can be reached by vehicle, on foot, or by boat, making it a reasonable base for paddlers who want to reach the small island visible from shore.
Water access drives most visits here. Paddle boarding, fishing, and general lake recreation are all documented by multiple reviewers, and at least one visitor found geocaches on the island offshore. The area around Alcova Reservoir also puts campers within reach of nearby options like Cottonwood Campground and Fremont Canyon Campground, both within a couple of miles. Reservations are available and worth considering in July, when surrounding campgrounds in the region tend to fill. Oakie Beach works best for campers who prioritize direct lake access over developed infrastructure.
Description
Okie Beach Campground offers 36 sites that require reservation. There are three fully ADA accessible sites, one public boat ramp, five docks, three restrooms, and a large group shelter that can be reserved.
