DIRECTIONS:
From Afton, WY, take US Rt. 89 south 19.3 miles to campground
sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.3 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,500 ft.
The campground, adjacent to Little White Creek, is primarily a
single loop among Lodgepole pine and young Aspen trees. Good
privacy between camping sites is provided by wild roses and other
shrubs. The campground is adjacent to US Rt. 89 making it a good
overnight stop. However, the campground has enough attractions
to stay more then one night. Two of the attractions are two
trails created by the summer 2000 volunteer host and named for
his two dogs - Gnome and Elf. Although horses are not permitted
in the campground, there are corrals at its entrance. This
provides overnight lodging for the horses or riding the Spring
Creek trail, a short distance from the campground. There is a
very good chance of observing beaver activity at the entrance to
campground.

DIRECTIONS:
In Pinedale, WY, at intersection of US Rt. 191 and Fremont Lake
Rd., take Fremont Lake Rd. north 3.2 miles to Fremont Lake sign.
Turn left at sign onto Forest Rt. 741 and go 0.2 miles to a "Y"
intersection and Fremont Lake Recreation Area sign. Bear right,
continuing on Rt. 741, and go 3.2 miles to campground sign. Bear
left at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,000 ft.
The campground is terraced along a hillside on the eastern shore
of Fremont Lake in a scallop-like design. The lake is natural
created by receding glaciers some 70,000 years ago. It is
considered one of the top ten cleanest lakes in the nation.
Although all camping sites are within walking distance, most do
not enjoy a view of the lake. The camping sites are located
either in groves of Aspen trees or stands of Douglas fir and some
spruce. The Aspen-shaded sites also have a heavy understory of
wild roses, currant and other shrubs providing good privacy.
Other sites are in the open and have poor privacy. Because of
the dense understory and boulders, finding a place to pitch a
tent may be a challenge for some sites. Several sites are right
on the lake shore or across the interior campground road from the
lake. These sites enjoy good views of the lake along with the
capability of mooring boats at or very close to the camping site.
The campground is very popular on weekends and holidays and
during the annual Rendezvous Days. During the second week in
July, the Green River Rendezvous is re-enacted. A good day trip
from the campground is visiting the Mountain Men Museum in
Pinedale, WY.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,800 ft.
This is a picturesque campground, near the Green River, with two
unnamed loops meandering up a hillside. Although at the north
end of the Green River Lake, the dense Lodgepole Pine block any
view of the lake from the campground. However, several camping
sites have a view of the towering Square Top Mountain. There is
an Upper Green River Lake which is in the nearby Bridger
Wilderness. Both Lakes are natural bodies of water formed by
receding glaciers some 70,000 years ago. Both the lake (at the
campground) and the Green River offer excellent canoeing
opportunities. The campground is pack it in, pack it out.
The log cabin near the boat ramp was the lodge for the exclusive
Gannett Peak Guest Ranch. It now houses the host for the
campground.
This is Grizzly bear country; practice safe food storage
techniques. There are bear-proof food containers at each camping
site.
