I know I’m responding to a 4 year old video, but here goes… We’re camped in a really nice commercial CG in Boulder, just south of Pinedale. I had seen Marc’s video about Green Mountain Lakes and was excited about the prospect of doing some boondocking up there. We drove up to do some scouting. First, the whole valley is stunning, with some spectacular sites. The mountains coming into view at the end is one of the most amazing views I’ve seen. That said, the road is horrible. There is no way I would pull my trailer in there. I’m going to have to check every nut and bolt on my truck after that round trip. I talked to an old timer in Pinedale who said he’s never seen the road in worse condition. So beware.
A nice surprise on Campendium... Grand Adventure at Green River. Great to see you Marc on Campendium!! Nice job as always !!! Can’t wait to visit and get out on the water.
What a gorgeous spot! The lake in the beginning is where I want to be. I'm a newbie heading out full time in less than a week. Thanks for sharing it! Might have to make a side trip.
Camped there last year. Hiked out to upper lake for the night. planned to do a 4-5 day loop but the snowpack and streams were deep and high. Beautiful place.
It's an absolutely wonderful place. For us, boondocking = dispersed camping, not dry camping in a campground. Others, of course, may (and sometimes do) define it differently.
I drove to the spot in a big Ford SUV in Sept 2023. The road is so bad that I was worried it would do permanent damage to the vehicle. AND - I wasn’t towing anything! My recommendation is to avoid the road unless you are in a nimble 4x4, don’t even think about hauling an expensive trailer on that road.
Spent a few days fishing there and didn't catch a thing. The fish are in the little lakes right before the first big lakes. Silver dollar lakes I think they were called. A stopped and asked a guy and his fish were amazing. Go for Cora and you'll hit the lakes.
I've read a few different reviews of the road leading up to the campground. have heard anywhere from 1.5hrs to 2 hrs for that 19 miles and that the road is horrible if you're pulling a camper. Can you advise how bad this road really is?
Noticed that there were no motorhomes, A's or C's shown in your campground shots. Is the entry to difficult for them or was it a coincidence? Also, you visit a lot of beautiful areas, most from gravel roads, could you start mentioning whether or not you saw motorhomes or if you think they will generally be able to reach those areas. I understand it's subjective, a lot of folks wont take one on gravel, but is the road one you would consider passable for most is my question.
It's definitely passable by any vehicle, Russ. In fact there was a Class C directly downstream of our boondocking site that's visible in some of the aerial shots. The question is would you *want* to drive it in whatever you're driving, for as mentioned the road is very heavily washboarded -- our dinette window's fire escape latches rattled open as we drove out more times than I can remember. And as you say it's very subjective, but we'll make it a point to discuss accessibility by different types of rigs in subsequent videos that we do for Campendium. As this was our first video for the channel, and we had already shot the on-location footage we didn't have the opportunity to do so this time.

Thank you for watching, Jody!
I was curious about pulling a sq drop back there and you answered my questions.
Camped there last year. Hiked out to upper lake for the night. planned to do a 4-5 day loop but the snowpack and streams were deep and high.
Beautiful place.
Excellent video. I enjoyed it
Wow such an awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! - Liz
👍👍 thanks 🙏
Thank you, Robert!
Looked like a very nice place. You said you could go past the campground and boondock. Isn't the campground boondocking?
It's an absolutely wonderful place. For us, boondocking = dispersed camping, not dry camping in a campground. Others, of course, may (and sometimes do) define it differently.
Beautiful, some day soon I’ll make my way there
We hope you do! - Liz
What a beautiful video, just brilliant thank you :)
Thank you so very much!
awesome video
Thank you Don!

Marc that spot looks absolutely beautiful!
I could watch this video footage all day long. Thanks Marc! (I've been calling you MarK on my previous comments. SORRY)
Gorgeous area! Very well done, friend. 😍
It really is! Enjoy! - Liz
Well done!
the washboard road smooths out at about 42 miles an hour
Spent a few days fishing there and didn't catch a thing. The fish are in the little lakes right before the first big lakes. Silver dollar lakes I think they were called. A stopped and asked a guy and his fish were amazing. Go for Cora and you'll hit the lakes.
Thanks for the tip! 😊
Any fish in the rivers?
Paradise
Whats the best time to go before it gets too hot or cold?
Hey Mark just found shows on UA-cam. Awesome
From rex remember me lol
Since bears smell food so easily, do you cook outside?
When does the weather turn from nice to starting to get nasty in the Fall and Spring?
What is the length of time you can "boondock" at that location???
State website says it is only open July 1st to Labor Day????
Many locations in the area are seasonal - with a short season due to weather conditions: www.campendium.com/green-river-lakes-campground - Liz

Can't wait to bring the Phoenix there !!
What a cool looking rig you guys have!!
Thank you ☺️
I'm sure the prairie dogs can't wait to hear those RV generators humming. The baby boomers "mine mine mine"
We have solar and don’t run our generator very often.
Heading up to Green River Lakes tomorrow...thanks for the tips!
Have an awesome trip! - Liz
(I WAS THERE THREE YEARS AGO. I BROKE MY ALLOY WHEEL ON THAT ROAD.
Is it safe to drink from Green River?
As with all ground water, filter it first. Giardia inhabits most ground water and there's cattle grazing along the river banks.
Too bad you can only like once. Quite nice.
Way over-using your drone.
What's your address. I'm going to send you a 2 pound ribeye steak to eat.
🤣 I've got the metabolism of a seagull; always did, always will. 😉
I'll address is to Jonathan I presume.
