The elevation is 7,000 ft. The campground is terraced along a hillside on the eastern shore of Fremont Lake in a series of overlapping loops. The lake was naturally 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. 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. In Pinedale, WY, during the second weekend (Thur - Sun) in July, attend the annual Green River Rendezvous Days; "It relives the early Mountain Man history of the area." See http://www.tinyurl.com/kngp2b for more information. Finally, take a day and visit Mountain Man Museum, also in Pinedale. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques. Bear boxes are scattered throughout campground.
