"There is no official Campground at Soda Lake, however there are numerous camps (estimated at least 20 camp sites) with tables and fire rings scattered around the entire lake."
"Getting to soda lake was very straight forward and easy out of Pinedale. Very well maintained road."
"Hardly could be called a campground, a few lakeside (if Lake not high) picnic tables, a few fire rings. A little shade at lakes edge from Aspens. Sage country typ. "
"Can access by ATV, horse, foot, watercraft. Water is clear but cold and super quiet during the week. We are the only people here right now. So amazing. Be prepared for bugs tho."
"There is water, pit toilets, fire Rings, lamp post, and water. The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway."
"This BLM recreation area has 12 designated FREE dispersed campsites along the Green River. The sires are off of a good gravel graded BLM road that dead ends at sites 12a-b."
"This area is a wide open no shade glacial pothole lake. There are free designated, kind of, campsites around the lake. Couple places to launch a boat and four vault toilets scattered around."
"Open grassy area in Aspen close to paved road."
"I wouldn't really say it's an open grassy area but more of several dirt road offshoots where there are some level spots. The level spots are pretty spread apart so doesn't feel crowded."
"The spot was large enough to turn around and easily maneuver the trailer. We got there on a Thursday evening at about 8pm. Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening, aside from a deer."
"Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots. The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings."
"We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191."
"Most are near the river. Some are very large and flat. We saw quite a few 5th wheelers parked in the first few miles where the road is flat and suitable for a sedan."
TravelerThe sites are down such a long road that I almost didn't believe they really existed, but I'm glad I persisted in driving all the way to the coordinates! Beautiful dispersed campsites right next to Whiskey Creek and some well-maintained hiking trails in the national forest and wilderness area. Wish i could stay longer. Also, I saw a bighorn sheep!
RangerFull disclosure, I'm not 100% on the long/latt I have provided here. I am doing this after our visit and think this is the correct spot.
Cool spot up a dirt road on the way towards the Spence Trial Lawyers' College. We were on a loop by ourselves with a bathroom nearby, kinda surprising since it was dispersed. Just a 100 yards or so from a beautiful river. We never saw another person.
Leave no trace.
LegendThis area is a wide open no shade glacial pothole lake. There are free designated, kind of, campsites around the lake. Couple places to launch a boat and four vault toilets scattered around. No trash dumpsters, no water, but fair to good cell signal depending on your location. Only a few miles outside of Pinedale on nice graded gravel roads. 14 day camping limit is posted.
ScoutWe camped here in a 4x4 Sprinter van in early July and it was one of the best dispersed sites we’ve ever experienced. It took about 45min driving East from Antelope Flats Road to reach the site. The service road out to the turnoff is very easy, a 2WD crossover could make it in clear conditions. I wouldn’t be comfortable taking the turnoff itself down to the river without high clearance and 4WD as it’s steep and uneven.
There were two clearly defined camping spots with primitive fire rings, each directly on the banks of the river with views of the cliff side opposite the river.
Zero service and amenities but a wonderful experience. We got there at about 6pm on a Friday and the other site was filled.
LegendThis is just a single BLM camp site at the end of a dirt road at the Boulder Lake Dam. Table, fire ring and a old stinky vault toilet. No water, no trash and the road in is narrow and.lumpy and I would not haul in a TT or RV. However it does have a nice view looking up Boulder Lake. Note that there is no road across the dam no matter what Google maps says!. Cell signal is marginal.
LegendThere is no official Campground at Soda Lake, however there are numerous camps (estimated at least 20 camp sites) with tables and fire rings scattered around the entire lake. This is a WY Game and Fish habitat area. Camping is FREE, and limited to 14 days. Several toilet/restrooms are scattered around the lake also. No shade or trees along Soda Lake. Limited cell signal depending on your location...seems the west shore has better cell signal on Verizon. I posted a screenshot of my own mapping efforts for the camps and restroom locations. Two boat ramps but the better concrete one is on the west shore. Access road is smooth graded with dust abatement...two access point and the north one is best to take advantage of the improved road conditions
GuideDon't follow the direction from the given long/lat. They will take you to someone's private property.
After discovering that the given coordinates were incorrect we drove up the road a while more. We reached a fork and veered right. Shortly after we saw a campsite to the left (about 9 miles off the highway). This particular spot wasn't very private as it was immediately off the road, but there were bear boxes, restrooms, and a creek nearby.
Also at this site was an informational sign that showed where all the campsites were off this road (photo included).
LegendCoordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138). Large dispersed site, set back from forest road; no concerns with dust coming into the site from passing vehicles. Should comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 rigs. Clean rock fire ring. Mostly level, dirt surface. Easy access from forest road. Open site surrounded by trees. Next to Grey's River; easy access for bank fishing. There is a set of trees that may accommodate hammock camping. Tent camping also possible. Area can get muddy after rain. Solar recharging possible in middle of afternoon. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Loved this spot.
TravelerGetting to soda lake was very straight forward and easy out of Pinedale. Very well maintained road. Needed a pit stop for the night and to be in close proximity to Jackson Hole for a full day of activities there before continuing on through Yellowstone. Lake/sites are very exposed to weather condition but well established and marked. I opted to continue into forest service land to get out of the wind with tent camping, ended up not far in past the two established spots off of soda lake in the Northeast corner. Perfect secluded spot that was free thanks to Wyomings excellent outdoor recreation opportunities.
