This is a nice alternative to the miserable camping ghettos available along I-80. It is about 10 miles South of I-80 on Hwy 191 and then 5 miles West on a poorly signed, but paved road in Firehole Canyon. Sites are oddly arranged - two camping units share a wide driveway and combined ramadas (just about the only shade in the area). It's not bad when the CG is not busy but would be very cozy when full. No hookups, but a dump station and potable water are available. Restrooms have flush toilets and there are hot showers as well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Feel like this is (or was) the best kept secret in SW Wyoming. Secluded, scenic desert hill campground south of Rock Springs off hwy 191 where you can actually hear the sounds of jumping fish and wild coyotes. Excellent roads, shaded tables, swimming beach, boaters' paradise, tremendous scenery! We beat the heat by arriving at dinnertime making it the perfect overnighter, and were in our sleeping bags that evening (desert cool temperatures). Only drawbacks were needing a generator if you require electric (not in our case) and park sorely needing a trash pickup as we arrived after the weekend. We reserved online, but you'll have to work a little to find the website for Ashley Forest Firehole Canyon as I didn't have it on hand when I posted. There may be a dump station but don't quote me on this, I would check first with the park rangers. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Office staff friendly and helpful. Laundry room has 6 each fairly new washers and dryers. The campground is very busy in the afternoons. The spaces are close, in fact a little too close. I wish the office staff would do a better job of spacing people out. There were clumps of people with huge open spaces. The entire park is gravel with no trees or grass. The park is in the process of dropping KOA. When I checked in I question them about this and they assured me they took all discount clubs. They are a Good Sam Park. WiFi worked good. Noise level is a little high, especially when people leave their diesels running needlessly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park no longer affiliated with KOA, and in a few minutes you will understand why. However, they still answer their phone as "Rock Springs KOA." Park management is totally beyond these people. We were assigned a site already occupied, got another, and soon after someone else showed up saying we were in their site. The dog park is totally unusable as it is "covered" with dog droppings. Picture a huge gravel parking lot, with utilities, and that is what you have here. Never again, I will keep driving. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While I agree with the previous comments, one must remember this is a sparsely populated area of Wyoming. Choices in campgrounds are limited. Despite the closeness to the interstate that plagues most KOAs, the road noise here is minimal. WiFi is free and strong. Satellite signals are easily obtained because there aren’t any trees to block it. There were lots of cable channels and clean facilities. The permanent sites are in a separate area. Except for being absurdly over priced, mark it down as just a better choice of places to remain overnight while on the way to somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Can anyone say 'sardine'? The park filled up fast and we took the space we'd reserved, but we were so crammed in, that when the motorhome next to us put their awning down, it covered our step completely! This is simply a place to stay for the night and move on. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very crowded park because of all of the petroleum activity in the area. Spots pretty close together. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. We used 30 AMP connection instead of 50 AMP to save money. The voltage here is borderline low in the park and our electrical box blew out while we were here and fried our neighbor's electrical plug for his trailer. The wind blows a lot here; a good place for Picken's wind generators. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A place to spend the night(hopefully). A gravel parking lot with W/E. Pet area is raw dirt. High intensity flood lights fill your RV with yellow light, even with shades pulled. Restrooms were dirty in the morning. Apparently a lot of semi-permanent residents work in the oil patch or wherever and use facilities. Less bang for the buck than any park we have ever stayed in. Would only stay here again if no other option available. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground is a gravel parking lot. We only got electric and water, and it was 32 dollars. The bathrooms were not very clean, and it had lots of water on the floor. The drainage in the showers were very poor. This park is okay for overnight only. We camped here in a motorhome. I am begining to understand why some people choose to stay overnight in a Walmart.

Big, noisy (view of I-80), dusty, no landscaping to speak of, and overpriced. I've stayed a few miles down the road in Green River on other trips through WY, but that park was full... Adequate for an overnight, nothing else to recommend it. I'd try to stay elsewhere in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I suspect there are two kinds of folks in this park: long-time people working in the gas and oil fields, and people like me who spend one night here on the way to somewhere else. Rock Springs is not much of a town but his park is a couple miles outside. The facilities were adequate and the staff friendly and helpful. I would recommend this for a one night stay but certainly not for a destination. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Restrooms & Showers are okay. Showers were small compared to other campgrounds. Water was hot. Site was level, but the dirt and gravel comments are oh so true. The hookups are side by side which makes the site seem smaller. It depends how your neighbors park in their sites. The only paved road is from the highway to the office door. They have Wi-Fi internet which was okay for us. It may depend where you park as to how good or bad it is. There are only two TV stations available on aerial, CBS & PBS. We didn't notice any road noise, and the campground was otherwise quiet. They did close our awnings for when a big wind came up and we weren't there. Yes the big oil or gas tanks are there but we didn't really notice anything. The park staff is friendly and helpful. The park is well maintained if you like gravel. There is no landscaping to speak of. We stayed 4 nights and had only electric and water hook up. We were sight seeing in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Like a previous review stated - supply and demand. The positive for this place is easy on/off highway. Sites are close, very, very close. Trucks to a gravel pit are constantly up and down the campground driveway (one every five minutes!! UGH), six huge fuel (??) tanks at the campground - this place is grossly, grossly over priced, but then again we paid it - never again. We would definitely pass this by the next time - truck stops, rest areas or Walmart parking lot would be much better. $39. night with KOA "discount" was absolutely insane.....

This is a perfect example of supply and demand. There is very little in the way of campgrounds available along this stretch of I-84, and the prices for this KOA certainly reflect it. The campground is neat, clean, and offers some amenities, but the price is way out of line for a dusty overnight stopping place along a freeway. We may have to stay here again, but will try to avoid it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very clean and friendly park. If I ever go back that way I will stay there again. The only problem that we had was they were working on the electric and the power was shut off for a few hours. I was surprised that if you stayed two nights it was only $15.00 a night.

Large gravel sites. Side-by-side hookups. Excellent gravel interior roads. Two fenced dog areas. Supposedly had WiFi, but I couldn't see it. We were there in mid-April, and water was not yet turned on at the overnight sites. The only source of water was the weekly sites, if you could find one vacant to use their hose bib. All the weekly sites were occupied the night we were there, so no water for us. Close to the freeway, but the tank farm between the park and the freeway apparently blocked the road noise. It was a perfectly adequate overnight stop, if only there were a source to fill our water tank. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is open year round, but I was told at check in that the water was not working at my site in Dec, but the price was the same. Cable TV worked well as did WiFi.

There are a lot of permanent RVs in this park and they get up early and go to work. We had a side by side utility hookup which we don't normally like but the site we had was quite wide so we could move away from the hookup and the neighbor which turned out well. The entire park is on gravel and there are no trees so satellite is no problem. The manager was nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wifi didn't work, and staff (workampers) unable to help. Cable TV on and off, and staff unable to help. Gazillions of cigarette butts and a big pile of discarded casserole on ground in our assigned site. Told to disconnect water hose at night due to freezing weather, but charged for water/electric sewer site. One restroom and pool closed. These people need to drop their rates when amenities are reduced and staff are not policing sites after checkout anymore. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

These people are doing the very best with what they have to work with. Rock Springs is very windy with blowing dirt and dust. They have built a fence to block most of this and it works pretty well. This is not a destination park -- just a stopover to somewhere else. The staff is great. Only one set of restrooms, which can be quite a distance from some sites. About half of residents are permanent. Rules apparently strictly enforced since park is very tidy and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice stop at the end of a long day with easy to access pull through sites on a large white gravel parking lot. If not for the electric boxes sticking up there is no demarcation between the roads and sites. Long term oil worker residents we in another area in the rear away from the travelers. I-80 was close but the noise did not intrude and there is an easy to use fuel stop at the same exit. Friendly staff, clean facility with a strong WiFi signal.

Large KOA off I-80 but we heard no traffic noise. All pull thru sites but with those awful side-by-side hook ups which has you almost sleeping with your neighbor on one side and having breakfast at the picnic table with the one on the other side! Sites were easy to get into. All gravel, no grass or trees but nicely landscaped "spots" throughout the park. Nice pool and hot tub. Good wi-fi and cable. We would definitely use this park as a stopover again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is a bleak looking park with just a couple of scrawny trees and not a blade of grass to be seen – just gravel everywhere. Then again, it is gravel and not dirt, and the hookups are good and while the spaces are tight, the interior roads are well sized for big-rigs. The free wireless works well and check-in is efficient. In short, not a place for a week’s family vacation, but quite acceptable for a quick stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were scared to stay here after reading some of the posts. But, we had reservations and decided that it was only one night so how bad could it be. This campground is quite adequate for a stopover. We have 50 amp supporting both A/C units, great free WIFI and cable TV. Yes, it is all crushed rock and the sites are close, but like I said, it is a great stopover. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The area where the long term residents stay is separate from the short term stopovers and the long term area appears neat and tidy. I have no problem with this park and we will stay here whenever we are passing through this part of Wyoming. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, I would rate this park well. It was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. The permanent residents were in a separate section, but even that area was well maintained and did not present a problem at all. My only issues with the park are: first, the sites are extremely close to one another with very little space in between. We were fortunate that our site was at the end of a row, so that provided quite a bit more space; second, the ground is covered with large rock "gravel" and was difficult for our small dog to walk on. No grass and only a few trees here and there; second, the setting left a lot to be desired. It is right behind a fuel tank farm ... not much to look at there! It works fine for a place to stay while traveling. However, I would not recommend it for any extended stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is completely covered with crushed rock. Typical KOA layout. Sites fairly close together. Office staff were pleasant. Sandy, the manager, very helpful. I would guess that over 75% of the park occupants are workers on temporary assignment in the local area. I have no problem with those still working, however, they do not follow any of the normal campground rules, courtesies etc. My site was near the laundry/shower. I must have had 50+ people walking through my site, sometimes so close they had to step around my steps, to get to the facilities. I blame this on not being thoroughly briefed on standard accepted practices by the staff. One trailer on one side of me had a dog which barked from 4:30 until 6:30, however, when we notified the office, this situation was corrected. On the other side, the woman in the trailer took her dog out to do its business, although, she took it straight to the front of the laundry door, let it spray the cones near the deck, then took it into the road and let it do its business, obviously with no intention of cleaning up after it. My wife told her that her dog had left something in the road, and the woman turned into a real bitch. She nearly run into me one day as she pulled into her site, a move that was obviously intentional. I would not recommend this park except for maybe a one night stay over. It was just not conducive to a longer stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is right on I80. It is conveniently located and on Foothill Blvd. from the Rt. 191 south exit (99). It's a good spot for a one nighter. It is basically a limestone parking lot with hookups. The staff was very nice. We chose an electric only site for our one night stay. If you are coming south on 191 from Jackson/Pinedale, Stagecoach Rd is not marked. Stagecoach is on the right, exactly across from the west bound I80 exit 104. Would use it again if we need to stay in Rock Springs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you have never been there don't go. It is hot, dusty and gravel throughout. Our site's power registered 105 Volts AC with a meter. This can fry an AC or Microwave if one or both are running.

Don't stay here for the view. It's a hot and dusty spot with a view of oil storage tanks. However, if it's where you need to stop for the night, you'll find all the amenities you need. They had a dog run that we were especially interested in. But it's a very hot spot without even a blade of grass and if you're not careful, your dog can escape. We camped here in a Motorhome.

AS previously mentioned, this campground is a gravel parking lot and everything is gravel. If you have to stop for the night and Rock Springs is where you're at, it'll do but it's definitely not a destination place. We had one of the prime (and I use that term loosely) sites so we had a table and shelter roof next to the coach but it was so hot and dusty we wouldn't use it. I'll agree with the previous review regarding lack of privacy. We camped here in a 40' motorhome and had no problems maneuvering in the park. It's OK for an overnight pit stop with hookups.

This campground is a gravel parking lot, basically. Everything is gravel - no grass nor pavement. It is okay for a stopover but would not want to spend any amount of time here. They do have wi-fi but you have to stand outside the office window to access it and there is no table, ledge or anything to place your laptop on. Also no where to sit. The sites are staggered, every other one facing the other direction. If you are facing west, your neighbor will be facing east, so your picnic tables are side by side, so no privacy at all when sitting outside. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Embodies everything good and bad about KOAs. The bad - as others said, CG is gravel without a blade of grass that I could see. Our site was definitely not level. The good - pool and playground for the kids were excellent. We'd been boondocking for several days so the 24 hour showers and laundry were more than welcome. Office staff was pleasant and helpful.

and staff very efficient and helpful. You won't want to spend your vacation here, but one of the best if you are just getting across Wyoming. Interstate not bad at night. Restaurant at next exit (Cruel Jack's) may be the best convenient to an interstate in the west! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good for an overnight stop only. All gravel, somewhat dusty, septic smell permeats campground. Water is high in sodium content - don't fill your tanks here. We camped here in a camper.

High cost must be attributed to owners need for guests to view rock collection. It covers virtually the
entire rv park(ing lot). Cost cannot possibly be equated with goods/services provided. We camped here in a camper.

This is a good option if you want a place to hookup for the night. The Good: -Great price. -Clean. -It was very quiet on a Tuesday night with no scheduled events. -Even though we showed up at 9 p.m. with no reservation, the friendly on-site caretaker quickly checked us in. -Level. The Bad: -Showers a lengthy walk from campsites. Only 1 woman's shower, with no lock on the door; very secluded and didn't feel safe. -Must climb over a low fence to hook up. Advice: -Don't bother with the information booth, which only gives daytime office numbers. Drive to the caretaker's house behind it. -Try to get a site toward the edge of the fairground (away from caretaker's house). Electricity is unreliable in the closer spots. -It's a gravel lot with no amenities - OK for overnight but not much to do or see unless you're attending an event. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the strangest park I think we've ever been in! The power & sewer hookups are behind the site between rail fences that you have to climb over. We weren't able to use the sewer hookups due to the fact that it was so far away. This is the most asinine setup I've ever experienced. I asked the camp host who is located at the back of the park in a yellow double-wide why the electric box and sewer connections were behind a fence. She said she's had a number of complaints and that it must have looked good on paper. Too bad they spent all this money on a remodel, what a waste. We had dumped our tanks at the last park we were in so not having a sewer hookup wasn't the end of the world. The entrance to this "park" is off of Yellowstone Rd. Entrance Gate E... It's an OK overnighter and that's about it... Cell phone, Satellite dome, Aircard worked fine here and we didn't have any problems with the power or water. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're headed to Rock Springs, you only have a couple of choices, and this is probably one of the better ones. First, it's off of the freeway, so the noise level (on non-race nights) is good. They recently re-did the campsites with new fencing and new electrical/water/sewage hookups. We had some problems with the electrical, but moved to another spot, and everything ended up working. The bathrooms (located in the indoor arena building) were fairly clean with the exception of the shower stalls which hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for some time. Relatively speaking, this was a nice spot, and our dog loved the freedom and other animals located on the grounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Well maintained bare gravel sites. Hookups are behind a fence that must be climbed over or you must walk way around to reach them. They are way to the back so you need 30' sewer hose to reach it unless your dump is at the back. Also the power dropped several times during the evening. Still a good alternative to the overpriced deficient alternatives in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
