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!

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 $15. 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.

No cell, no wi-fi, reservations need to be made in

20 ft RV

We made our reservation for this campground a couple hours before we got there. When we had a cell phone signal. We learned when we arrived that Wyoming discontinued allowing paying campers to use the Wi-Fi. Now only the host is allowed that privilege. We needed to make an important business call, so this was a disappointment to say the least. In addition, the house flies were incredibly numerous and highly annoying. I ended up spending a lot of time in our camper swatting dozens of them. Every time the door opened it seemed like 10 more came in. Yuck.

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.
