We arrived at the campground to find the gate locked and everything closed up. We had reservations, but no notification of them being cancelled and no explanation posted anywhere. We weren't the only ones--there were at least 3 other families that drove up with reservations. Called the contact number when we finally got to place with cell service, had to leave a message. Nobody has every contacted us.

Stunning high desert vistas! Gorgeous campground, lovely private campsites. Bathrooms clean, well maintained. Easy access to beautiful Flaming Gorge reservoir. Campground host Ken was friendly & attentive. 100% worth a repeat visit!

Beautiful views, clean restrooms, and a friendly groundskeeper. This place is a gem and would highly recommend it.

I recently stayed at Firehole Campground, and it was a wonderful experience. The campground is beautifully situated along the river, offering picturesque views and a peaceful atmosphere. The campsites are clean, and come with basic amenities like fire rings and picnic tables. Overall, Firehole canyon Campground is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy nature in a serene and well-maintained setting. Highly recommended!

Camp host was great and site was well maintained. A little out the way from the main interstate but worth the drive.

When we arrived at Firehole, the campground was locked up and empty. Since it was 6 pm, and no cell service, we had to set up camp somewhere else. Which was surprising since emails had been sent to us 2 days before saying we had a 3 day reservation. When we contacted someone in the American land and leisure company, who manages the campground the next day, we were told to go to the other campground, Buckboard Crosding, which was a few hours and long drive away. We were told to find any campsite at this campground in A or B loops. This campground was a poor substitute for our original choice. THE next morning we found a tag saying our site was reserved for that night. Meaning now we had to move AGAIN! Since we had to take down the tent and move, and the weather was windy, we just decided to leave as our campsite was not what we wanted. A View of construction and woodpiles, was not what we had planned for. So we paid for 3 nights in a specific campground only to stay 1 night in a campground we were never interested in staying in the first place.

We arrived to find that the campground is no active. All locked up, none around, no information. We filed a claim for full refund. Never had this happen before. Very disappointing.

@TomokoB8610157 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #20

The campground was closed.

@AnthonyS855979 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #4

Absolutely gorgeous. We lived in Rock Springs 30-odd years ago and came here often, but it had been years since we'd been here. Glad we came back!

@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #8

Clean facilities. Close to the water. Great views. No hot water at the shower when we were there. Be aware that the sites a setup pairwise. Your neighbor, if occupied, will be only 15 feet away. The shelter structures are shared between sites.

@ESTHERHF5EA70B · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #14

Wonderful camping place. Beautiful lake and views amazing. Quiet and respectful people. Would definitely return. Great showers!

@TomC6900040 · Camped on Jul 15, 2023 at Campsite #20

The camp host was off-site with an emergency, so some understandable issues occurred with our reservation that were worked out in a satisfactory manner. We ended up with a double site to ourselves with a nice view of the canyon and moderate view of the water. There was a path down to the "campground swim beach" adjacent to the site... but we never found a spot that I would qualify as such. There were water snakes and other critters that had me thinking twice about swimming. If we didnt have the double site to oursevles, the situation would have been very crowded and lacking any privacy whatsoever. I probably won't camp here again.... but it was... fine.

Great Host, Its a beautiful site, warm water in showers, no electricity, some of the sites are difficult to get into with a 32 footer although booked for this size. Dump station is there, but no flush water, overall the campground is old and not well maintained, however the location is amazing and one of a kind.

@CynthiaF136923 · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #20

Amazing views!! The picnic table shade structures were quite dirty and thick with mosquitoes, and the shade itself was quite minimal. Unfortunately, we fried during the day. River access isn’t the easiest on foot. Shade tents and awnings highly recommended.

@BrianM6776107 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #5

Nice, out of the way campground. Friendly host, fun beach and surrounding areas. Large spots for RVs

@HeatherS702716 · Camped on Jun 24, 2023 at Campsite #17

Beautiful Canyon!

@CarlH7311691 · Camped on Jun 5, 2023 at Campsite #17

Very quite location. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful sunset.

@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #14

Great sites and views. Host was very helpful and knowledgeable.

@KimD7911144 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #18

Sites were on top of each other. Barely room to park so I went to BLM, but did not cancel my res.

@HankPAD987AEED · Camped on May 22, 2023 at Campsite #9

Adequate. Would be nice to have power and water.

@ToddS5367268 · Camped on May 14, 2023 at Campsite #15

I thought it was a great place to stay. No hook ups, just a paved site with covered area with pick-nick table. There was a dump station with fresh and black water. It wasn't working when we were there on May 14,2023. Not sure if it was just off for the winter.

@craigv2139759 · Camped on Jul 30, 2022 at Campsite #10

great site, well maintained and amazing location

@RuudB8373578 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #12

Simple campground with a nice view and a good place for the RV. Though it was said on the website there was no fire wood available. Besides that we thought we could go swimming in the lake from the campground, but that was not the case.

@JedK7621642 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #8

Very clean and nice place to stay.

@PatiI3300230 · Camped on Jul 20, 2022 at Campsite #1

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
