Tailrace Camp Area

Overview

Tailrace Camp Area is managed by Bureau of Land Management and is located near Kemmerer, Wyoming.

The Tailrace Camp area features three campsites with fire rings and a vault toilet. This campground is wedged between Fontenelle Reservoir and Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, and so makes a fantastic site for birding, fishing, or non-motorized water sports. Historically, this area was a gathering place for trappers during their annual rendezvous, and the modern day explorer can still see the lure of such a rich and welcoming area.
