Kortes Reservoir Miracle Mile Dispersed

Fishing enthusiasts will find themselves positioned between two reservoirs along Wyoming's renowned Miracle Mile, where the North Platte River flows between Kortes and Pathfinder reservoirs. This Bureau of Reclamation site offers free dispersed camping with both established areas and open spaces for RVs and tents, many positioned directly on the water.

The campground provides basic amenities including restrooms, picnic tables, and trash service, with sites accessible by both vehicle and on foot. Campers can expect dirt roads for the final ten miles of access, which become challenging during poor weather conditions. Cell phone reception remains unavailable throughout the area.

"Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water," describes Kasy A., highlighting the site's primary draws. The location between reservoirs creates opportunities for both bank fishing and floating. Wind can pick up across the open water, though visitors report finding secluded spots even during busy weekends. The nearest restocking point sits about 40 minutes away, making advance preparation essential.

Nearby alternatives include Kortes Dam Campground and several areas within Seminoe State Park. For additional camping choices in the region, see campgrounds outside Alcova.

Guests frequently mentioned the beautiful isolated setting with excellent fishing opportunities between two reservoirs. Most found suitable camping for tents and small RVs with basic facilities, though the remote location means limited cell service and supply access.

Miracle Mile Fishing

Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water! This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms. Amazing fishing and floating opportunities. Make sure to get all of your shopping needs before heading out, because the closest marina for restocking is about 40 minutes away. There is no cell phone reception. But it's all 100% worth it if fishing is your thing... you'll soon learn why it's called The Miracle Mile.

great!

The area is very pretty but can get windy at times. We went on a weekend and still managed to find an area to ourselves to go fishing and bike around.
