Slate Creek Campground

Slate Creek Campground, near Kemmerer, Wyoming, is a peaceful spot that offers a great escape for those looking to unwind by the river. With its open habitat featuring cottonwoods and willows, it’s a fantastic place for birdwatching and enjoying nature.

Visitors have noted the excellent fishing opportunities in the nearby Upper Green River, making it a hit for anglers. One camper mentioned, “Great fishing opportunities,” highlighting the appeal for those looking to cast a line.

If you’re up for some adventure, the area is perfect for hiking and exploring the surrounding nature. Just remember to bring bug spray, especially in the summer, as the mosquitoes can be a bit pesky.

Nice peaceful campground

Small gem along the Green River. Open habitat with cottonwoods and willows. Great birds! And access to river for fishing. Some mosquitos in the evening but not bad. Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stopover here.

Hidden gem along the Green

Nice little campground off the beaten trail. Still quite popular with at least 10 other groups set up. Popular trout stream runs through the back of the campground. Bird watching was fantastic with dozens of species spotted in one evening.

Easy access next to a beautiful river

Very busy, almost all the sites with shade were taken when we visited during the week so we grabbed a spot that unfortunately had A LOT of ants. Windy at the time but we loved the wind considering it was pretty hot. Great spot otherwise. Pretty clean bathrooms and good sized sites! We don’t fish but seemingly great fishing opportunities.

Beautiful, Primitive, Remote

Very remote location with a primitive, yet beautiful campsite. The only services are a couple of bathrooms, which were nice and clean, otherwise you are on your own. There were not marked campsites that we noticed, only some had a fire ring and/or picnic tables. It was right next to the green river, so the mosquitoes were worse than usual. Otherwise a wonderful campsite. First come, first served. No registration or advance notice.

Plenty of sites along the riverbank

Excellent fishing in the Upper Green River! Campsites are spread out so you aren't on top of other campers. Quite a few campsites and not as busy or crowded as Weeping Rock up river. There is a boat launch area. Pit toilet facilities are cleaner than others. Great place! Don't forget bug spray, especially in army summer.
