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 SceneryThe campground occupies a creekside setting surrounded by high-elevation forest within the 3.4-million-acre Bridger-Teton ecosystem. Hobble Creek flows directly through the area, providing both scenery and fishing access. Conifers and alpine meadows dominate the landscape at this elevation, and the remote location means wildlife sightings outnumber human encounters. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's intact habitat extends in every direction.

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.
