The Fontenelle Creek Campsite 25 is a developed, reservable, and fee-based campsite located in the Upper Green watershed of Wyoming. The campsite offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness areas, making it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching in the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest and Wind River Range.
The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, tent pads, and vault toilets. There is no potable water available on-site, so visitors must bring their own water supply. Additionally, there is no trash service, so visitors must pack out all garbage.
Interesting facts about the area include that the Upper Green River is one of the last remaining intact ecosystems in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, home to a variety of wildlife such as grizzly bears, moose, elk, and wolves. The area also has a rich history of Native American culture and early Western settlement, dating back to the early 1800s.
The best time of year to visit is from June through September, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 80s during the day and dropping to the 30s and 40s at night. However, visitors should be prepared for sudden weather changes and be aware of potential hazards such as lightning storms and wildlife encounters.
