About this campground

Stillwater Campground is located 32 miles from Evanston, Wyoming, just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway at an elevation of 8,500 feet.

The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, which are known for their abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. This campground is equipped with picnic tables. Popular recreation activities within 5 miles of the campground include hiking, fishing, backpacking and mountain biking.

The campground contains four group sites, three of which accommodate up to 50 people each; the fourth accommodates up to 25 people. These sites are equipped with large picnic tables, campfire circles and parking areas. Single-family sites are also available with picnic tables and campfire rings. A day-use picnic area is located at the end of the campground road. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt.

The campground is situated along the Stillwater Fork among a thin forest of pine and aspen trees, which provide only limited shade. Summer wildflowers and grasses dot the landscape.

Fly-fishing for cutthroat and brook trout is a very popular activity on both the Stillwater and Hayden Forks. Numerous hiking, biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding trails crisscross this beautiful region.

What campers say

Stillwater Campground sits along the Bear River in a scenic forest setting, offering roomy, often private sites with easy access to fishing and nearby trailheads. Visitors consistently praise well‑maintained grounds, exceptionally clean restrooms (including flush toilets), functional fire rings, and friendly, helpful campground hosts. Wildlife sightings are common, and dogs are allowed; the area is bear country, so secure food storage is necessary. Weekends can be busy with families and pets, and there is at least one isolated complaint about a staff interaction. Overall it’s a quiet, well-kept option for campers seeking river access and nearby town amenities.
