Slate Creek Campground

Nestled along the banks of the Green River just south of the Fontenelle Reservoir, Slate Creek Campground offers a rugged, primitive retreat in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This BLM-managed site serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those drawn to the area for its exceptional birdwatching opportunities and proximity to the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge. Positioned at an elevation of 6,379 feet, the landscape provides a tranquil, high-desert setting perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in nature.

As a free, year-round destination, the campground provides basic essential facilities, including designated sites, picnic areas, and two ADA-accessible vault toilets. With direct fishing access to the Green River, it is a premier spot for anglers seeking a quiet escape. Visitors should note that the site is located near significant historic resources; please respect the area by avoiding the collection or damage of these protected artifacts.

This location is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who prefer a rustic, off-grid experience. Because there are no hookups available, campers should arrive fully prepared for primitive conditions. Whether you are passing through the region or planning a dedicated fishing trip, Slate Creek offers a simple, scenic, and cost-effective way to enjoy the Wyoming wilderness.
