In the agency’s own words
Narrows Campground is located next to scenic New Fork Lake, at the edge of the Wind River Range in northwestern Wyoming. Visitors enjoy hiking and horseback riding into the adjacent Bridger Wilderness, as well as boating and fishing on the lake. Keep reading
Recreation
New Fork Lake offers great boating, canoeing and swimming. Anglers fish for kokanee salmon, brook, lake and rainbow trout. A large cement boat ramp is located less than one mile from the campground. New Fork Trail, for hiking and horseback riding, begins at the campground entrance and provides back country access through New Fork Canyon into the Bridger Wilderness. The trail also connects with several other trails in the area. Horse corrals are located at the trailhead.
Facilities
The campground contains single-family campsites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Amenities include two vault toilets located at convenient locations and a campground host is located on-site. Roads and parking spurs throughout the campground are native soils.
Natural Features
The campground is situated above New Fork Lake, in a dense grove of aspens, at an elevation of 7,800 feet. Shade is plentiful in most sites throughout the campground. Most sites afford scenic lake views. Summer wildflowers vividly carpet the campground. A variety of wildlife makes its home around the lake.

No reading yet, book on recreation.gov
recreation.gov lists 19 of the 20 campsites the agency files here. The rest aren’t on its booking system, so a reservation won’t get you one.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $12 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 20 of the 35 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
Measured shade is NLCD Tree Canopy Cover 2024 (USDA Forest Service / MRLC) read at the site’s own coordinate, 27% canopy or more, and only for the sites the agency gave no Shade value. It never changes the agency’s own shaded count beside it.

The agency files 15 more records here that aren’t sites for the night. It types every one of them MANAGEMENT rather than a campsite. They’re in the table above, marked for what they are, and none of them is counted as a site.
OpenStreetMap has no toilet mapped within 1 km of this campground, so no site here carries a toilet distance. That’s a gap in the map, not a finding about the campground.
