About this campground
Tucked away in nature's embrace, Little Popo Agie Campground offers an authentic back-to-basics camping experience with four intimate campsites designed for those seeking solitude and simplicity. This hidden gem welcomes small trailers (under 16 feet) at one designated site, while the remaining spots cater to tent campers ready to disconnect from the modern world. Each site comes equipped with its own picnic table and cook grate, perfect for preparing meals under the stars. A single vault toilet serves the campground, and visitors should note that this primitive retreat operates without potable water—so come prepared with your own supply for a true wilderness adventure.
The Little Popo Agie Campground includes accommodations for both tent and small trailer camping.
