Slate Creek Campground

Slate Creek Campground, located along the scenic Green River a few miles downstream of Fontenelle Reservoir in southwest Wyoming, offers a tranquil retreat for nature enthusiasts. This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) facility boasts 14 well-spaced campsites, blending the serene sounds of flowing water with expansive views of open landscapes dominated by cottonwoods and willows, a haven for birdwatchers. The key features include its remote setting, proximity to excellent fishing spots, and opportunities for outdoor adventure without the distractions of modern conveniences.

The campground is geared toward those seeking a rustic, self-reliant experience, featuring picnic tables, fire rings, and two ADA-accessible vault toilets. Though it lacks electrical hookups and showers, the simplicity enhances its charm. Outdoor activities abound, with canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife observation as favorites. The nearby Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, just north of the campground, offers additional opportunities to connect with Wyoming’s natural beauty within a short drive.
