What Guests Are Saying

The Green River Float-in Campsites offer a wonderful experience with great wildlife viewing, including sightings of moose, otters, and osprey. Campsites are generally well-maintained, with clean facilities and good amenities like flat tent platforms and fire pits. While some areas may have issues with vegetation or crowding due to guide permits, the overall beauty and tranquility of the river make it a highly recommended destination for camping and floating.

It was a great site with a nice vault toilet. Only suggestion would be to help eliminate the big step into the bathroom if possible. We had a wheelchair user with us that would have benefited from a smaller or no step. But overall, great spot!

Those location was incredible! It's further down stream from the boat launch than I expected so you do feel quite isolated. There are a few other campsites within a couple hundred years but well out of view. There is a good set up for a rope swing with a nice deep eddy. Will be booking again in there future.

Rec.gov was easy to navigate. Very few dates and campsites had available status. I got this Saturday night campsite. It was the only one available. However when I went down the river most all the sites were empty of campers.
Need to hold folks accountable for not showing up.

No way this site can accommodate 10 people. There are only 2 tent sites that are not on slopes.
