North Boulder Lake Campground

How does a quiet, rustic retreat on the shores of a pristine Wyoming lake sound? The North Boulder Lake Campground, set along the northwest banks of Boulder Lake near Pinedale, offers just five primitive campsites—ideal for campers seeking tranquility and minimal distractions. Boasting a peaceful atmosphere, the campground sits amidst pine trees and features a crystal-clear alpine lake, creating a perfect base for fishing, hiking, and wildlife spotting.

Facilities here are basic but adequate, with each site equipped with a level dirt pad, picnic table, and fire ring, as well as access to a single vault toilet. However, there is no potable water, electric hookups, or trash disposal, so preparation is key. The fishing opportunities are stellar, with Boulder Lake renowned for trophy-worthy catches of lake trout, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon. Anglers and paddlers will appreciate the serene waters, while hikers can explore nearby trails like the scenic Boulder Lake Trailhead just a short drive away.

Located about 11 miles south of Pinedale on U.S. 191 and then 7 miles north on Burnt Lake Road, this Bureau of Land Management campground offers seclusion yet remains accessible within a 30-minute drive of Pinedale’s amenities. This is an excellent choice for those craving solitude, outdoor adventure, and an authentic slice of Wyoming’s rugged wilderness.
