Big Sandy Campground

What sets Big Sandy Campground apart is its remarkable position as a gateway to Wyoming's renowned Wind River Range, offering access to the Big Sandy Trailhead—your starting point for some of the Bridger Wilderness's most celebrated hikes. Enveloped by stunning alpine scenery, this campground caters to those seeking solitude, primitive camping, and unparalleled outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, and horseback riding.

This small, secluded campground features just four main campsites plus an additional site for equestrians near a stock trailhead, ensuring a quiet and intimate setting. While amenities are minimal—vault toilets, no drinking water, and a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy—the pristine surroundings make it a haven for those who appreciate rustic camping and self-reliance. Visitors are required to follow proper food storage protocols due to the area's abundant wildlife.

Located about an hour and fifteen minutes southeast of Pinedale, Wyoming, Big Sandy Campground is ideal for those embarking on adventures in the Bridger-Teton National Forest or exploring iconic attractions like Big Sandy Lake, a short hike from the campground. This location is perfect for weekend getaways or launching multi-day treks into the wilderness.
