BLM above Dubois

Above Dubois Campground, the BLM land west of town opens up into a loose network of dispersed sites reached by a combination of paved highway, gravel road, and dirt two-track. The main approach follows Soda Spring Road off Highway 26/287, where two flat pull-offs appear as the road passes through BLM land, wide enough to accommodate an RV. Road surface and route choice matter here more than at most free sites, since different tracks lead to very different experiences.

The most-recommended access point is Hart Trail, a left turn past a subdivision that looks like a private driveway until a wired-open gate signals BLM land ahead. "Legendary view, you're going to want to take Hart Trail into the BLM area," notes CJ M., who confirmed a small pull-behind trailer can fit through the gate but a large camper cannot. The terrain is rocky in places, though high clearance is not strictly required on the Hart Trail route. A separate, rougher track leads toward Grandy Reservoir and demands AWD and high clearance. Black bear activity has been reported near the reservoir area, and that route runs buggy in summer.

No fee, no reservations, and pets are welcome. Campfires are allowed. Campers planning a longer stay in the region can compare places to camp around Dubois for sites with more developed amenities. Those wanting hookups or a more established setup might consider KOA Debois WY as an alternative.

The road is bad and didn’t see any spots

I followed the direction from the last review to the T and got all the way to the gate and the two-track dirt road. Followed it a couple of miles down (about 5-7) and there’s absolutely no spots and nowhere to turn around either. Had to kinda Austin-Power our way out of there and going half in the grass a bit. Our van was leaning sideways pretty much half the time we were on that road, it was BAD, very rutted and uneven going up and downhill. 4x4 and high clearance a must, and I don’t know if it’s worth it cause again I didn’t see any spots. Someone who finally finds one please drop the exact coordinates of the spot because I don’t know what the other reviews are talking about.

So much wrong information

When Soda Spring Road passes through BLM land, there are two dirt two-track pull-offs that lead to relatively flat open areas suitable for an RV. If you continue down Soda Spring Road, the road becomes gravel, and you will come to Hart Trail after passing through a subdivision of wannabe ranches. Turn left onto Hart Trail. It will look like you are going down some guy's driveway but to your left you will see a gate that is wired open. The road that goes through the gate is a two-track dirt road on BLM land. The views here are stupendous. The roads are decent asphalt or good gravel two lane roads. The grades are mild. I have no idea what site the other two reviews were referring to regarding Grady Creek reservoir or another road.

Beautiful view!

Follow the instructions that say to take Heart Trail through the gate, to access a flat area of BLM land via a two-track dirt road. Most of the route is a decent asphalt paved road through a subdivision of wannabe ranches, then a short stretch of well-maintained gravel road.

Beautiful off grid spot by Grandy reservoir

So we stayed near here but ended up taking a very rough road on accident that put us right beside Grandy reservoir. The spot was very tucked away but did have a fire pit. I would only recommend awd high clearance vehicle on this "road" as it was extremely rocky and rough. My 2020 Toyota tundra pick up made it but, we left our 2021 Chevy trailblazer behind because it didn't have enough clearance to make it the rest of the way. Was definitely some black bear activity in the area and it was pretty buggy.

Legendary view

Legendary view, you’re going to want to take Hart Trail into the BLM area. Over the hill and left through the gate. My small pull behind was able to fit through the gate. But a large camper will not fit. Rough terrain but high clearance not required. Rocks may pop a tire if you aren’t careful

Camping off Union Pass Rd. outside Dubois Wy.

Located 6 miles off Hwy 26/287 on Union Pass Rd. west of Dubois Wy. You will find a lovely camping area equipped with a vault toilet. The road up to the Pass is gravel but we'll maintained.
