About
Corral Creek Campground is a remote Bureau of Land Management campground located along the North Platte River in Carbon County, Wyoming. This primitive camping area features 6 campsites in a scenic setting that combines sagebrush uplands with riparian habitat along the river corridor. The campground is accessed via approximately 20 miles of gravel roads, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more secluded camping experience away from crowds.
The North Platte River provides outstanding fishing opportunities, with both rainbow trout and brown trout being abundant in this stretch of the river. A foot trail leads from the campground to wade fishing access points along the river. The area is also popular for floating and provides day-use parking for river recreation. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring or grill, with parking space for vehicles. Due to the primitive nature of the campground and access roads, pull-through sites are not available, and the maximum RV length is approximately 25 feet.
The surrounding landscape is characterized by juniper woodlands, sagebrush flats, and native grasses, with the riparian corridor along the river providing habitat diversity. Wildlife viewing opportunities are exceptional, with regular sightings of bald eagles, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, wild turkeys, mule deer, sage grouse, and occasionally mountain lions. Rattlesnakes are present in the area during warmer months. The campground's remote location and diverse habitats make it an ideal base for anglers, wildlife watchers, and those seeking a true backcountry camping experience in Wyoming's public lands.
