We stayed at a Cabin that was part of the Riverview Inn and Sunset Bar and Grill. This is the one across the highway from The Reef Fly Shop. The cabin itself was nice. It had a fridge and small oven. The only drawback was that the bathroom and shower, which was part of the motel, was public and used by several people, like the guides and people with trailers. In the mornings, this was a problem because people would be waiting to use the shower and bathroom. There is also lodging at The Inn at Alcova.
There are a lot of camping areas just downstream from the dam which is nice to know. With all the rain this week, Nick and I were glad we had a cabin and not just a tent. Renting a room in the motel, however, would have been an even better choice since we would have our own bathroom. The rates are very reasonable for both the cabin and the room. In the summer or fall, camping with a tent in the campground along the river would be a good, economical option.
For dinner, there was a marina on Alcova Reservoir that had a decent menu. I especially enjoyed the appetizer riblets. This is maybe 10 miles from the motel. There is also the Sunset Bar & Grill, however Nick and I were not impressed with its atmosphere. Casper is also only 30 miles away if someone wanted to take the time they would have more dining options there.
