While both tent campers and RV adventurers find refuge here, the level sites and accessible amenities make it particularly welcoming for those traveling with recreational vehicles.

Historical SignificanceJust a short drive away in the charming town of Pinedale, the Museum of the Mountain Man stands as a captivating window into the region's storied past. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the legendary era of the Rocky Mountain fur trade, exploring authentic artifacts that tell tales of rugged trappers who once traversed these very mountains. The museum's carefully curated exhibits showcase both American Indian heritage and Mountain Man culture, offering a deeper understanding of the human history that shaped this remarkable landscape.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms Fremont Lake into a mountain paradise, with pleasantly cool temperatures that offer sweet relief from the heat of lower elevations. While winter brings a dramatic shift—with mercury plummeting to bone-chilling lows around 5°F and highs struggling to reach 23°F—the summer months unveil the campground's true splendor. The crisp, dry mountain air and moderate temperatures create perfect conditions for hiking, fishing, and stargazing under brilliantly clear skies.
ElevationPerched at a breathtaking 7,400 feet above sea level, the campground offers a true high-country experience where the air is refreshingly thin and crisp. This lofty elevation rewards visitors with naturally cool temperatures that make summer camping a delight, while panoramic vistas stretch endlessly across the surrounding wilderness. Here, you'll find yourself literally above the everyday world, where mountain peaks pierce the sky and the landscape unfolds in dramatic sweeps of forest and stone.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground serves as your gateway to the spectacular Wind River Range, where jagged granite peaks rise like ancient sentinels against azure skies. Fremont Lake itself sparkles like a sapphire jewel, its glacially-carved waters reflecting the surrounding mountains in perfect mirror images. The forested hillside embraces the campground in a living tapestry of quaking aspens that shimmer gold in autumn, stately Douglas firs that whisper in the mountain breeze, and aromatic junipers that perfume the air. This is a landscape that photographers dream of and memories are made from—where every sunrise paints the peaks in alpenglow and every sunset transforms the lake into liquid gold.
Geological RegionCommanding a prime position on Fremont Lake's eastern shore, the campground sits at the doorstep of the legendary Wind River Range—Wyoming's crown jewel of geological wonders. These craggy granite peaks, sculpted by millions of years of geological forces and polished by ancient glaciers, create a dramatic backdrop that takes your breath away. The crystalline waters of Fremont Lake itself tell a story of ice age glaciers that carved deep valleys and left behind these pristine alpine lakes. The campground's hillside location showcases the region's diverse ecosystem, where groves of trembling aspen mingle with sturdy Douglas fir and fragrant juniper, each species perfectly adapted to thrive in this unique mountain environment where the forces of nature continue their endless dance of creation.
