Best Time to Camp at New Fork Campground

Best season: summer. Summer offers the most reliable window for warm, dry weather and the fullest range of river activities — expect daytime highs roughly 65–80°F and cool nights in the mid-30s to low 50s. River levels are typically lower and clearer than spring, making fishing and small-boat launching ideal, while long daylight hours let you enjoy solitude at one of only two riverside sites. Crowds remain modest because the campground is very small, though weekends around Pinedale can be busier; always check local火 Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: December, January, February

About New Fork Campground

New Fork Campground sits on the banks of the New Fork River outside Pinedale, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This very small, no-fee campground offers primitive riverside sites with vault toilets, picnic tables, and a boat launch for anglers and floaters. The setting is bare-bones—dirt pads in mid-elevation forest—but the river access and quiet make it a solid choice for self-sufficient campers seeking solitude.

New Fork Campground is a small facility with only 2 campsites, suitable for tent and potentially RV camping.

Elevation6800 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe New Fork River cuts through high-desert terrain here, creating a narrow riparian corridor lined with cottonwoods and willows. At this elevation, the surrounding landscape opens into sagebrush steppe with distant peaks framing the horizon. The river runs clear enough for sight fishing in summer and supports the kind of wildlife you'd expect at a Wyoming water source. Deer, songbirds, occasional raptors overhead. It's simple geography: one green strip of life where water meets arid country.
