Fort Bridger RV has full hookups with 30/50 amp electric, cable and free Wi-Fi. The roads are a mixture of dirt and gravel, and the sites are all grass. Most of the sites are back-ins, but there are several pull-throughs down at the end where we were. The sites are all generously sized. Fort Bridger RV Camp advertises they are quiet with no train and no interstate noise. Wow, are they right! It was a real contrast after being right next to an interstate at our last stop.
The town of Fort Bridger gets its name from a fort built there in the 1840s by mountain man, Jim Bridger. Jim Bridger was a trapper who roamed the area in the 1820s and 1830s. By the early 1940s, fashions in the east were changing and there was less demand for furs, and beavers were becoming more scarce. Bridger knew the days of the trappers and mountain men were numbered, and he realized he needed a new source of income. He and his friend, Louis Vasquez, built a trading post in 1843 near Blacks Fork of the Green River along the Oregon Trail with the intention of selling supplies to the pioneers on their way west and to trade with the local Indians.
