About Tail Race Campground

The Tail Race Campground 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.

Two years running when we have been out here we have had to put out camp fires and pick up garbage left behind by inconsiderate campers.
Difficult to find, Google maps takes you to Weeping Rock campground and rough road.

Really sad you can no longer catch fish here. I will be fishing the Hams now.. Much better and only 30 minutes west! Worth avoiding this spot! Full of people running around on loud motorized things... Anywhere but here!

Small campground with large open sites next to the Green River. Pleasant view. Has a vault restroom. Kind of hard to find. A little bit on the rustic side.
