Slate Creek Campground

Nestled along the picturesque Green River in Fontenelle, Wyoming, Slate Creek Campground offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. This primitive campground is perfect for those seeking a back-to-basics camping experience, surrounded by the beauty of the Wyoming wilderness.

The campground features well-spaced sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire pits with grills, providing the ideal setting for a cozy campfire meal. While the sites do not offer water or electricity, the natural ambiance more than compensates. Some sites are shaded by towering cottonwood trees, offering a cool retreat on sunny days, while others provide open spaces with stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape.

Outdoor activities abound at Slate Creek Campground. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the clear, cold waters of the Green River or launch a boat from the available boat ramp. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the variety of avian species, including Western Screech Owls and Great Horned Owls, making it a birding paradise.

Here’s what some of our satisfied campers have to say about their experience:

• "Nice campground along the Green River. Access for swimming and a boat launch. Some spots are well shaded by cottonwood trees. Nice separation between most of the camping spots."
• "Had a great time at Slate Creek. We camped on the southern side of the bridge at a primitive camping spot. River was beautiful, clear, and cold. Will definitely go back."

Please note that the campground can be windy, especially in the spring, and some sites have limited tree cover. However, the natural beauty and tranquility of Slate Creek Campground make it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to reconnect with nature.
