If your mission is to spend as much time on the water as possible, Lower Wind River Campground at the old Boysen Dam is your best bet for staying close to the action.

Set up shop on this prime riverside real estate, and all you'll need to worry about in the morning is making sure your boat shoes aren't tied together. The elements can be a bit harsh in Wind River Canyon, so definitely prepare for some sun and wind... but when you factor in the convenience, killer scenery, and legit chance to see the resident herd of Bighorn Sheep, we'd say its pretty “dam” worth it!

Jim Moss Arena Campground

24 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents50 acres · Riverton, WY

JMA Campground is located about 15 minutes west of Riverton, Wyoming. Outstanding views of the Wind River Mountain Range and the Owl Creek Mountain Range. We do not have trees or green grass - bring your own shade. LOL We have 30 and 50 amp RV sites (each site has water) along with primitive tent sites. Amenities at the park include WiFi, fire pits, firewood, shower and restroom facilities, picnic areas, trash services and a RV dump station available for $10. Visitors can take advantage of the various outdoor activities such as basketball, hiking, biking and stargazing. Our campers enjoy our quiet solitude - we're not located along a busy noisy highway! Jim and I established our place in 1983. We produced team ropings and barrel racing jackpots for nearly 40 years - we no longer produce rodeo events (due to health). In 2017, we decided to share our property with campers - we have cherished each and every moment - we have made so many friends! From the JMA Campground, it is 50 miles to Thermopolis (hot springs, whitewater rafting, fishing, buffalo, dinosaur museum, etc.); 60 miles to the National Military Museum in Dubois; 130 miles to the South Entrance of Grand Teton National Park; 45 miles to Lander; 70 miles to South Pass City - many other local attractions.

SonRise Grass Creek Guest Ranch

2 sites · RVs835 acres · Thermopolis, WY

These RV campsites are situated near the original homestead location for Grass Creek, Wyoming - dating back to the late 1800's. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid once wandered these very hills. Onsite are original artifacts and tons of cool stuff to explore from an original 1897 one room cabin to old farm equipment, originally drawn by horses. Our Guest Ranch is fun. Yes - you read that right. When innovation meets integrity for the purpose of producing food abundantly the result is a mind-blowing experience. We get excited about plants sprouting, cow's grazing and newborn calves bounding through the perennial grasses their ancestors grazed. Seeing chickens lay eggs, watching a piglet root out some grubs. Enjoying the bounty the earth can spring forth are all hallmarks of a living ecosystem, teeming with abundance. We offer all-inclusive stays for our Cabin Guests - these include four tenants of our operation... EAT - PLAY - STAY - SUSTAIN For more information on an all-inclusive stay, call our visit our website. Learn more about this land: All RV campsites are near the creek with individual firepits. Stays can be all-inclusive or stay only with optional meals and Ranch activities. The original homestead site for this settlement next to the campsite (the cabin has since been moved). It dates back to 1897 and has been completely restored.

We stayed at the Lower Wind River Campground which has a stunning view. However at $40/night (for non residents) I can't recommend it. The sites are very small and have grass but no plants or rocks to separate them. Cottonwood trees do provide shade for some sites. it is next to the river, not the reservoir and there is a very steep bank that prevents you from getting to the water. No electric sites and vault toilets that are clean but dingy. A bit disconcerting that the ladies vault toilet has the local police phone number on the door. A street light in the campground and noise from the very close road made sleeping hard.

Pulled in late and found a nice site by the river. Sweet little spot, but next to highway. No traffic at night, but truck traffic noise in the morning.
