Best Dispersed Camping near Daniel, WY

87 Reviews

Warren Bridge Recreation Area provides free designated dispersed camping along the Green River near Daniel, Wyoming. The area features 12 dispersed sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets scattered along a well-maintained gravel road that parallels the river. Some sites have grass boat launches ideal for drift boats, rafts, and kayaks. The main road is suitable for most vehicles, but access roads to individual sites vary in quality.

Several sites offer wildlife viewing opportunities directly from camp. A camper noted, "We saw mule deer, moose, and antelope right from our campsite." Nearby Soda Lake Wildlife Habitat Management Area offers additional free boondocking with a 14-day limit. The lake is surrounded by open sage terrain with no shade, making it quite windy. For more remote sites, Bridger-Teton National Forest provides off-grid camping along Cliff Creek and Fisherman Creek Road. During peak seasons, particularly holiday weekends, early arrival is recommended as these sites fill quickly.

    Glacier Trailhead Campsites in Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area

    glad i stopped here

    The 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!

    Soda Lake Wildlife Area

    Free camping on a lake

    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. 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.

    South Boulder Lake Camp Site

    Single BLM camp site

    This 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.

    Soda Lake WHMA

    Large open lake area, lots of camps

    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. 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

    Salt River Pass

    Pretty

    It’s a pretty spot, but we were unfortunately unable to stay here because a couple was already there and they asked us to leave because they wanted the spot to themselves - which we understood.

    They also blocked the road that goes pass the site with their truck so we weren’t able to drive any further to see if there was anywhere else in the area, but upon looking at satellite view of the coordinates, the road seems to go on a bit further so if you have the chance to drive through there may be more potential sites.

    The road is a bit rough and you definitely need a high clearance vehicle to drive through.

    Tons of wildflowers and trees everywhere. A very private spot right off the highway.

    We ended up staying at Allred Flat campground just a mile or so up there road. It’s $10 a night - $5 if you have a pass - and in my opinion was even prettier than this site.

    Grey's River 10138L Dispersed

    Wonderful Riverside Dispersed Campsite

    Coordinates: 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.

    Salt River Pass

    Do not go here

    The suggestion that you need a high clearance vehicle is an understatement. The service road is incredibly rocky with one side a sheer drop. Went down with our campervan and barely made it down and back up in one piece. Looks like a nice spot but the other entrance was blocked so you’d have to get out via the same horrendous route in. Avoid.

    Soda Lake WHMA

    Peak Season Pass Through Camping

    Getting 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.

    Trail Lake Dispersed Sites

    Great Lake stop before Grand Tetons

    Not secluded. Private property surrounded. Still peaceful though. There’s a few lots you can stay in that are flat and would be good for tents. A parking lot for bigger rigs. Water is clear and not too cold. Clean bathrooms. Bear country but you’re close to others so it feels safe.
