Hams Fork Campground, Forest Road #10062, north of Kemmerer, WY
Anglers and solitude-seekers who can arrive early enough to snag one of the two riverside sites. At $10 cash a night, 38 miles from the nearest town, this is as quiet as it gets in Bridger-Teton. Fall colors here are legitimately worth the drive.
No cell service across all major carriers is a hard stop for anyone who needs to stay reachable. Add vault toilets only, no showers, no dump station, and a 38-mile supply run to Kemmerer, and comfort campers will find it a long way to go for roughing it.

<p>The Hams Fork Campground is located on the Big Spring Scenic Backway or Hams Fork Road, Forest Road #10062, north of Kemmerer. The Campground has 13 sites, 2 vault toilets, potable water, and trash service in the summer. The Hams Fork Campground is a good base camp for recreating on the south end of the Kemmerer Ranger District with just a short drive to Big Spring for a picnic, a nice long scenic drive up Hobble Creek, a variety of hiking trails, and fantastic fishing in the Hams Fork River.</p>
The elevation is 7,700 ft. The campground is split by the access road. The two camp sites on the western side of the road are nearest to Hams Fork River. The eastern section has ten more campsites in a single loop through a stand of mature Lodgepole pine with grass and wildflower understory. Vault toilets are located in each section but the water is in the eastern section only. Overall, the campground offers solitude and quiet and is well worth the drive on well maintained dirt roads.

Summer is the sweet spot. Daytime highs sit in the mid-60s to mid-70s°F, nights drop to the 30s and 40s. The river settles into good fishing flow after spring runoff, trails are snow-free, and wildflowers peak in June and July. Holiday weekends see modest crowds (only 13 sites), but most summer days are quiet. Fall offers the best views according to repeat campers, though freezing temperatures arrive early at this elevation. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer. Winter snows and spring mud make access difficult. Smoky skies can be an issue during fire season.
Summer is the 'sweet spot'—best weather, trails snow-free, and prime fishing after runoff.
