BLM Prepares Lincoln and Sublette County Campgrounds for Winter
KEMMERER, Wyo. — Visitors can continue enjoying several Bureau of Land Management campgrounds this fall as the Kemmerer and Pinedale field offices prepare recreation sites for colder weather. Beginning Sept. 29, the BLM will winterize water systems at Fontenelle Creek, Scab Creek and Warren Bridge campgrounds.
The BLM plans to winterize Fontenelle Creek Campground in Lincoln County and Scab Creek and Warren Bridge campgrounds in Sublette County Sept. 29-30. Crews may begin earlier if temperatures approach freezing.
Once winterization is complete, drinking water and flush restrooms will not be available for the remainder of the season. Vault toilets will remain available. Visitors should bring enough water for their stay. The BLM will stop collecting campground fees once the water is turned off and will resume fees when water service returns in spring 2027.
Fontenelle Creek Campground and access to Fontenelle Reservoir will remain open as long as roads are passable. Scab Creek and Warren Bridge campgrounds will remain open until the end of October or until the first significant snowfall, whichever comes first.
Visitors should prepare for changing fall and winter conditions and check weather and road conditions before traveling to recreation sites.
