About this campground
Venture into the heart of wilderness at one of Wyoming's most secluded camping destinations. This remote sanctuary offers true solitude for adventurers seeking an authentic backcountry experience, far from the crowds and deep within nature's embrace. Previous visitors consistently praise its remarkable isolation, making it perfect for those who measure luxury in miles from civilization rather than amenities.
The campground supports primitive tent camping and combined sites suitable for small groups and individuals. RV camping is not recommended due to road conditions.
Historical SignificanceWhile recorded history may be sparse in this untouched corner of the wilderness, the land itself tells ancient stories through its undisturbed forests and pristine landscapes. This area remains much as it has for centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into the raw, unchanging face of the American West.
Weather and SeasonsAccess to this high-country retreat depends entirely on Mother Nature's whims. Weather conditions dictate when adventurers can reach this remote outpost, with seasonal road closures and sudden mountain storms adding to the site's wild character. Plan flexibly and come prepared for rapidly changing alpine conditions.
ElevationPerched at 7,100 feet above sea level, this high-altitude hideaway places you among the clouds in Wyoming's mountain country. The thin air and cooler temperatures at this elevation create an invigorating atmosphere, while the altitude provides stunning vantage points and crisp, star-filled nights that seem close enough to touch.
Natural Features and ScenerySurrounded by the untamed beauty of high-elevation wilderness, this site offers immersion in pristine mountain landscapes. Towering conifers, alpine meadows, and the raw beauty of undeveloped backcountry create a natural amphitheater where wildlife outnumbers humans and the loudest sounds are wind through the trees and your own heartbeat.
Geological RegionNestled within the vast expanse of Bridger-Teton National Forest, this campsite sits in one of the largest intact ecosystems in the lower 48 states. The forest's 3.4 million acres encompass rugged mountain ranges, pristine rivers, and diverse wildlife habitats, making it a crown jewel of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
