Ask about this camp →Bureau of Land Management lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

Coming out here — New Fork Campground · Bureau of Land Management · WY
- Surface water mapped nearby: USGS maps New Fork River as a perennial river, under 0.1 mi from the pin (National Hydrography Dataset, data refreshed October 2022). Mapped as perennial is not the same as flowing today. Nobody has checked it for you. Filter or boil anything you drink.
- Ground slope around the pin: about 11.7% — noticeable. Measured on USGS's 3DEP elevation model (1 m data here), sampled every 10 metres around the point. That is the hillside, not the ground under your wheels — a graded pullout or a bench a few metres across is too small to show up at that spacing, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- No rail line and no interstate or US route is mapped within 10 mi of the pin. Checked against the FRA/BTS North American Rail Network (data updated Jul 21, 2026) and the Census's TIGER/Line primary roads (TIGER/Line 2025, released Oct 2025). Both are national files and both are maps of what is built, not counts of what moves on it.
- Power: Dave carries his own — batteries or solar. A generator will run your rig and it is also the thing everybody camped near you can hear.
- Getting online: Dave recommends Starlink. He has had it since SpaceX introduced it, used it for four years living on the road, and it delivers as promised — several hundred nights out, and he can count on one hand the places he could not connect. The cable on his unit runs 150 feet, which is usually all it takes to find enough sky. Starlink → Referral link — Starlink pays Dave $100 in cash if you sign up through it, and that money funds this site and the next trip. It costs you nothing and does not change the recommendation.

Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
FREE BLM river campground and float put-in/take-out on the New Fork River. FEE, BLM's own Fees section: "No Fee." (BLM's GIS fee attribute is blank for this record -- the live page is where the No Fee statement is, and it was read 2026-08-17.) SITES: "There are 2 camping sites, a vault toilet, 2 picnic tables and a boat launch." TWO SITES ONLY -- this fills, have a fallback. Elevation 6,800 ft. ACCESS: "23 miles south of Pinedale on US 191, then 12 miles west on WY Highway 351." BLM's standard stay limit on Wyoming public land is 14 days; where BLM states it on the site's own page it is quoted below. BLM does not print a stay limit on this page. NOTE FOR THE REVIEWER: we already carry "New Fork River-Remmick PAA Campground" (a Wyoming Game & Fish public access area) about 5.2 km away. Different manager, different site. Coordinate is BLM's own published facility point from gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services/recreation/BLM_Natl_Recreation_Sites_Facilities (read 2026-08-17), cross-checked against the Geographic Coordinates printed on the site's own blm.gov page. It is a facility pin, not a surveyed campsite. SOURCE: https://www.blm.gov/visit/search-details/14721/1
--- NIGHT-SHIFT REVIEW 2026-08-19 (nightshift-verified) -- APPROVED.
Re-fetched https://www.blm.gov/visit/search-details/14721/1 this fire. The page is live and still titled "New Fork Campground | Wyoming". The Fees section still reads "No Fee." and the description still says "There are 2 camping sites, a vault toilet, 2 picnic tables and a boat launch." BLM's printed Geographic Coordinates are still 42.606431, -109.855587, matching this row to the digit. Cross-checked the same day against gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services/recreation/BLM_Natl_Recreation_Sites_Facilities (layer 8, BLM Natl RIDB Facilities Camping). BLM's GIS fee attribute for this facility is still blank, exactly as this row recorded -- the "No Fee." lives on the live page, re-read today. TWO SITES ONLY: still true, still worth a fallback plan. Nothing this row claims has changed since it was written.

Field check
On the agency's books. The land manager inventoried this site, so its existence is not in question — current conditions are. Nobody from here has camped it recently.

- Road surface & last-mile access
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
