Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on August 22, 2021We stayed here overnight while passing through. Although there are 1200+ sites, only the small main campground section was open in mid-June when we visited. It's basically a giant dirt/gravel parking lot with fences separating each site, and a fence behind each site with shared utility hookups behind the fence. We arrived on a Friday which means events were happening at the fairgrounds (high school rodeo finals, and stock car race). The friendly caretaker took our money, pointed us to the north-west corner and said there should be a few empty spaces left in that area. We found some, but the campground was nearly full and was a mess with RVs, horse trailers, pickup trucks, ATVs, and more parked randomly all over. Despite the number of campers there, noise was minimal. We backed into a site (with our 37' motorhome sticking out into the lane) and had nowhere to put our tow car other than in the empty site next to us (several folks parked their longer rigs diagonally across two sites). The dirt roads had large ruts in them where they met the main campground road, which required some extra care when pulling out. Since the whole campground area is just gravel we found a grassy area around the main fairgrounds parking lot for our dog walks. Verizon worked pretty well, AT&T was slow. This was an OK spot for an overnight, but we may have actually been more comfortable in the nearby Walmart parking lot for the night. Clearly the RV sites exist primarily to serve the rodeo participants and not travelers, so I understand the shortcomings of the location. I expect when events aren't happening and the campground is less crowded it is be a more reasonable spot for an overnight stop.

We stayed here for a week while having some repairs done on our truck. (By the way, I do NOT recommend the Toyota dealership in town). It was supposed to be hot that week so our priority was to find a place to stay with electric hook-ups. That plan almost backfired on us because they only have 50amp power and our trailer only uses 30amp. Walmart to the rescue.
Other than that small issue, the campground was exactly what we expected - a gravel lot with hook-ups. There were no events at the time of our stay and only a half dozen other RVs in the lot. The onsite caretaker couldn't have been nicer. She told us that we were welcome to park sideways in one of the spots or take up more than one so we could reach the hook-ups. Good thing because they are positioned in such a way that you need long hoses and cords to reach.
This is not the kind of place you stop at because you want to go "camping" but if you need a clean and (mostly) quiet spot right off I-80 with full hook-ups it should work. Also, $25/night is way cheaper than the KOA on the other side of town.

Stayed 08 15 17 for 1 night on our way to Tetons. Interesting place with a great host. As mentioned in the other reviews, this is a huge gravel parking lot with 1,200 back in sites. All of the hookups are at the rear of the site and 50 amp. So, extra hoses and cords may be necessary. Easy access off I 80. Sites are mostly level. No shade.

If you are driving across Wyoming and need a place to stay - this is it. Nice FHU campground with TONS of sites. Check ahead on event calendar to see what is going on because it there are events there, the RV parks could be full.
No reservations taken, but as long as no events, should not be a problem.
Wifi worked okay, but we used cell data most of the time.

This is a pretty good Fairgrounds facility. All sites are three way (W/E/S) fairly level but fairly close together. This is basically a large gravelled area. Be aware that the placement of the sewer hookups was not designed by anyone with any RV experience as they are way at the back of each site and even with our standard sewer hose plus a 15 foot extension we found that many sites would not work for us. Through trial and error we did find a site that worked so be persistent!
The area is quiet (so long as there isn’t a noisy special event in process) and as such makes a great overnight spot when traveling on I-80. The other choice in town (the KOA) is right on the Interstate. The facility is about two or three miles off a freeway exit so using this for an overnighted is a breeze.
Verizon was fast enough to stream video.
The staff in the office and the maintenance folks were very friendly and accomodating. The campground “caretaker” was less so and was either having a bad day or needs to be reminded that his purpose in being here is to be helpful. Simply offerIng us to move (after we were all set up) or refund our money is not a helpful response to someone looking for a site with working water and an accessible sewer hookup. But his demeanor is not a reason to skip this place and chances are you won’t ever see or have to deal with him.

A good stop for overnights, especially if you are traveling with animals.

As others have mentioned, it’s a large gravel lot with numbered stalls, and the FHU dump was too far away to use even with an extension. The area by the caretaker’s home is 30amp and the majority of the rest is 50. There’s a large bathhouse with separate lockable toilet/shower rooms. Plenty of hot water and great pressure in the shower.
To check in with the caretaker, look for the doorbell near the gate of the fence by the driveway. The dogs will announce your arrival and the sweet caretaker will be ready with her receipt book. There is a gas station visible from the grounds.

Caretaker was friendly. When we told her we didn’t need water, she said it would just be $11 and to park wherever we wanted to. Lots of spaces open because there were no events going on.
Easy in, easy out. We have 45 foot 5th wheel. Very level, flat, gravel lot. We didn’t even unhook.
We didn’t use the restroom or showers, but it looks like a nice, well kept building.

The hook ups at this place put me in a bad mood. Because of some issue with the water I was asked to park in the first area opposite the caretaker house. Backed my rig against the fence and still required 30 feet of sewer to reach dump and extra fresh hose to reach water. Not very well thought out. Showers were clean but hand dryers did not work. Dumpy area. I guess I’m not a fairground camper. Basically a gravel lot for 27 bucks.

We stayed here for 3 nights and used this as our base camp to explore the area. It was hot and we needed hookups. The caretaker is extremely friendly and everyone we encountered were helpful as well. We were not crazy about how the sites are ‘fenced in’ but we made it work. We had to borrow a splitter to have water the 1st night and had to buy a sewer extension hose so we could dump (we only had one). There is free wifi, 30/50amp, water & sewer. It is not a campground that you would want to hang out in but it served our needs. Flaming Gorge is a must see in the area, Fremont Lake in Pinedale and there are many things to see and do in Rock Springs & Green River. We would stay again.
