SUMMARY

Fontenelle Creek Campsite 55 is a developed and reservable campsite located in the Upper Green watershed of Wyoming, surrounded by stunning views of the Wind River Range and Bridger-Teton National Forest. The area is known for its excellent fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities, and nearby points of interest include the historic town of Pinedale, the Fremont Lake Recreation Area, and the Green River Lakes.

The campsite itself offers a variety of amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, potable water, and vault toilets. It can accommodate tents and RVs up to 40 feet in length and is accessible via a dirt road.

Fun fact: The Fontenelle Creek drainage is named after Louis Vasquez, a fur trapper who was part of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in the early 1800s. Vasquez went by the nickname "Fontenelle" and was known for his ability to speak multiple Native American languages.

The best time of year to visit the Fontenelle Creek Campsite is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures range from the mid-60s to low 80s Fahrenheit. However, visitors should be prepared for sudden weather changes, as thunderstorms are common in the area during the summer.
