Fontenelle Creek Campground — Hotel in La Barge

This is a nice campground. There are no hookups or water connections but water is available in many sites around the campground. The spigots aren't threaded so bring a rubber adaptor (water bandit) to hook up to a hose. There is a dump site available near the entrance and a dumpster at the boat ramp. There are several flush toilet restrooms when it is not freezing and vault toilets for the winter. There is access to the reservoir for boat although the water is low and you have to go a ways to launch. Although there are no official hikes there is good walking around the campground and lots of waterfront to check out. Lots of birds and far enough from the road to be quiet. As usual in WY, it's windy. But that's normal for WY. In general it is in need of a bit of upkeep, but overall it is a really nice campground. $7/night or half price with a senior national parks pass....

For me, Fontenelle Creek Campground was perfect. There were only 2 other campers when I arrived and so far only one more joined us. There's flush toilets, water, picnic tables, fire rings, dump station...$7.00/night ($3.50 for seniors with America the Beautiful card). Huge reservoir filled with geese, birds & chipmunks everywhere and hardly anyone around!!! lots of space to walk my dog. I can drink my coffee outside in my jammies without a care! So far, I love it! To be fair, it is in a bit of disrepair and there's no camp host...more like boondocking with benefits....

Our stay was only one night but we liked how quiet the site was with no one around. The nearest campers were 1/4 mile or more away. The horses & cattle walked through our campsite. They are not wild horses! Very tame. I enjoyed having a flushing toilet & running water. The shelter over our picnic table was great, too. I didn’t love all the cow and horse poop everywhere with flies...but overall it was $7, and you can’t expect luxury for that price. We would stay again because the views were gorgeous seeing horses and antelope grazing...
