Wigwam

1 Review Add Review

Pike National Forest manages Wigwam, a US Forest Service site that serves as a day-use area rather than an overnight campground. Located near Cheesman Lake, the facility provides parking for trail access and fishing along an adjacent creek. A single restroom and several picnic tables support day visitors, though overnight camping and parking are not permitted. The site attracts hikers and anglers who appreciate the creek access and trail connections. For overnight stays, campers can explore Lone Rock Campground less than two miles east.

No Overnight

We went here expecting to stay the night close to Lake Cheesman. You cannot camp or park overnight here. It does have a single toilet and is by a creek. Lots of parking to do the trails or fish. There were also a couple picnic tables. It is a very pretty area to hike.
