Dispersed Camping

Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area

6 Reviews

Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area, near Evanston, Wyoming, is a laid-back spot perfect for those who crave a little peace and quiet by the water. This area offers a unique camping experience with its beautiful lakeside views and a chance to connect with nature without the usual campground hustle.

Visitors rave about the serene atmosphere, with many noting the stunning sunsets and sunrises over the plains. One camper mentioned, “Great campsites next to the lake. Excellent views and quiet.” The lack of amenities means you’ll need to come prepared, but that also means you can enjoy a more authentic outdoor experience. Clean bathrooms are available, and while fires are allowed, be sure to check the local regulations.

The area is ideal for those looking to escape the noise of everyday life. Reviewers have highlighted the privacy, with one noting, “No one was around for miles which was quite nice!” If you’re into birdwatching, you’ll love the variety of wildlife, including ducks and even the occasional moose sighting.

Getting here involves a bit of a drive down an unpaved road, but it’s worth it for the tranquility you’ll find. Whether you’re camping in a tent or just stopping by for a night, Woodruff Narrows is a solid choice for a peaceful retreat in the great outdoors.

Great lake side camping! Beautiful views!

Great campsites next to the lake. Excellent views and quiet. Only saw a couple other campers off in the distance. Lots of birds and ducks to watch.

Saw a moose way off in the distance.

Spacious and peaceful!

I wandered in after dark and the dirt road was easy to navigate. No one was around for miles which was quite nice! A few people drove past (I assume to go hunting) but not much traffic noise. Peaceful along the water. Clean bathrooms. Because of the regulations I wasn’t able to make a fire and had to stay overnight at the designated camp spot but I would definitely recommend this spot.

Dispersed public access

Dispersed camping around a reservoir. Road in is unpaved in fair to poor condition. Quiet and peaceful though.

Great boondocking spot but long dirt road

Very private boondocking area about 10 miles off the highway. Wide open area; fairly level in the campsites we saw. The road is okay if you go slowly; we came in with our 31’ class A pulling a 12’ box trailer. There’s a bathroom about 6 miles in. Good Verizon service.

Beautiful flat area

Great place for a good over night rest. Beautiful sunset and sunrise over the green plains. We slept in the car on our blowup mattresses in the back. They do provide a toilet

Beautiful location, no amenities

Gorgeous location right next to the lake. It was very quiet and open. We were the only campers there!

No shade or amenities where we stayed. There was lots of room to play around with the dog.
