About Alpine North Loop

Nestled in the heart of Wyoming's breathtaking Star Valley, Alpine North Loop Campground offers an enchanting escape among towering lodgepole pines and vibrant wildflower meadows. Just moments from the sparkling waters of Palisades Reservoir, this mountain sanctuary invites you to unwind beneath a canopy of evergreens while soaking in panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.
The campground offers a variety of accommodations, including group sites, RV sites, and tent sites. Primitive camping is not explicitly mentioned, but there are no luxury or glamping options available.
Historical SignificanceEach June, the nearby town of Alpine comes alive with the spirited Mountain Days Celebration, a cherished tradition that honors the valley's rich heritage. Immerse yourself in the authentic pioneer village exhibits, watch mesmerizing Native American dancers share their cultural stories, browse local artisan crafts, and savor regional cuisine while live music fills the mountain air.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dynamic mountain climate where afternoon thunderstorms paint dramatic skies and cooling breezes whisper through the pines. Summer days bring warm sunshine and refreshing mountain winds, perfect for outdoor adventures. As autumn arrives, crisp air signals the approaching winter, when snow blankets the landscape and temperatures dip below freezing, transforming the area into a winter wonderland.
ElevationPerched at 5,640 feet above sea level, the campground offers that perfect sweet spot where the air is crisp and clean, yet still comfortable for most visitors. This ideal elevation provides naturally cooler temperatures during hot summer days and that invigorating mountain atmosphere that makes every breath feel refreshing.
Natural Features and SceneryDiscover a landscape where nature paints with a generous brush—lodgepole pines create a natural cathedral overhead, while carpets of wildflowers burst with color throughout the summer months. The dappled sunlight filtering through the partial forest canopy creates an ever-changing tapestry of light and shadow. From your campsite, gaze out across the sweeping vistas of Star Valley, where mountain ridges frame the horizon and Palisades Reservoir shimmers in the distance.
Geological RegionSet within the remarkable Star Valley region of Wyoming, the campground occupies a gentle, relatively flat terrain that makes it accessible while still offering those coveted mountain views. The surrounding lodgepole pine forest tells the story of this unique ecosystem, where volcanic soils and mountain watersheds have created the perfect conditions for wildflowers to flourish each summer. The nearby Palisades Reservoir adds another dimension to this geological tapestry, its waters reflecting the ancient peaks that define this spectacular corner of the Rocky Mountains.
