Weeping Rock Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing access draws many visitors to Weeping Rock Campground, a small BLM site along the river outside Kemmerer, Wyoming. Several campers have pulled rainbow trout directly from the bank, and Chuck S. notes "easy shore fishing access" with multiple eagles visible overhead. The campground sits just below the Fontenelle Reservoir dam, surrounded by cottonwood trees, and includes sites of different sizes to accommodate both tents and RVs. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with a cooking grate.

The road in requires some attention. Following posted signs rather than GPS navigation is strongly recommended, as at least one route involves a rougher gravel road with significant washboard sections. Cell service is unreliable at the campground itself, even for carriers that show coverage nearby. The site is free and first-come, first-served, which means weekend crowds are common. Spots closest to the water tend to fill quickly on Fridays and Saturdays.

Amenities include vault toilets, a dumpster, and listed drinking water, though at least one visitor found no water on site and advises bringing your own supply. Maintenance has been inconsistent, with some recent reviews noting full trash receptacles and unstocked toilet facilities. The Tail Race Campground sits less than a mile to the west and provides an overflow option if Weeping Rock is full. For a broader look at the region, Fontenelle Creek Rec Area is located to the northwest. Arrive early on summer weekends and carry water regardless of what the listing states.

Many visitors appreciated the riverside location with varied site sizes and basic amenities like fire rings and clean pit toilets. Campers should bring water as none is available on-site, and expect weekend crowds at this free campground.

What a Beautiful Spot!

What a beautiful campsite this is! It would have a 5 star rating instead of a 4 if it were properly maintained. BLM has the responsibility, but have neglected it by not keeping the vault toilets clean or stocked with tp, and the dumpster on wheels was full! But the views are killer, so it's worth it. Great bird watching also! First come first serve!

Great place to camp and fish!

We caught a huge rainbow trout the first day camping, right off our campsite! Minimal bugs considering we were so close to the water, nice and quiet!

Nice stop over

We pulled in the evening and just stayed for one night but it was a nice little spot.  Small campground but seems like you could easily pull off and camp nearby if it were full.  Pit toilets were clean.  No water on site and no stores nearby so make sure to bring your water with you.  Recommend following the signs and not google maps - google was telling us to drive down a rough road but the signs took us to a road that was much easier... still gravel and washboard in spots but no major potholes. Our main issue was the lack of phone service - according to this listing there is service and we had some service driving through the wildlife refuge but did not have service at the actual campground (we have AT&T).

Amazing spot for me and my buddy from Fort Collins

We camped on the way back from Yellowstone here one night and it was absolutely amazing. Easy well maintained dirt road on the way in and there is a dumpster and bathroom you can use on the main campground. Didn’t check to see if they had showers pretty sure they don’t. Great spot will plan on going back

Great little campground below Fontenelle dam.

Different sized sites to accommodate tent camping or RV. River access and great fishing. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings that include a cooking grate. Many sites also have a grill. Campground is pet and ATV friendly. Nice little camping spot, does get busy on the weekends.
