Bridger Lake Campground

Bridger Lake Campground offers a high-altitude retreat at 9,400 feet on the northern slope of the Uinta Mountains, where pristine lake views, prime trout fishing, and access to outdoor adventure converge. This serene campground blends the natural beauty of Bridger Lake with recreational opportunities like hiking, canoeing, and horseback riding, all set against a backdrop of wildflower-dotted meadows and sparse clusters of lodgepole pines and aspens.

The campground features 30 single and double campsites, including two accessible options, equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and lake-facing positions at some sites. On-site amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, and trash collection, ensuring convenience for campers, though no hookups or showers are provided. A small boat ramp caters to anglers and paddlers seeking cutthroat and rainbow trout on calm waters, while nearby ATV and hiking trails expand exploration options. It’s a “pack it in, pack it out” facility, emphasizing the preservation of the area’s natural charm.

Located roughly 50 miles from Evanston, Wyoming, and close to Mountain View, the campground is a gateway to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest’s rugged beauty. Within a 30-minute radius, visitors can explore the China Meadows Trailhead, offering access to the High Uintas, or enjoy local trails that meander through alpine wilderness. Bridger Lake Campground is ideal for campers seeking solitude, a nature-focused atmosphere, and diverse outdoor activities.
