Best Dispersed Camping near Shoshoni, WY

On the west side of Boysen Reservoir near Bonneville, WY, this lovely and free camping area along the shores of this tiny lake, offered us a great place to camp for a few days to wait out the wind and recharge our solar batteries.

Each campsite area had a covered and wind fenced picnic table and grill, which we used to hide behind during a spicy, early spring wind storm. The pit toilets were the standard Forest Service bathrooms, which were very clean. There were also several group areas, and at least one large covered picnic pavilion further down the road.  Verizon cell phone service was surprisingly great at the campsite.

Hiking, biking, fishing and paddling are all available right from camp, and the Boysen Reservoir is a short skip down the road for a longer water experience. The nearby town of Bonneville doesn’t have much more than a Post Office and gas station convenience store so come prepared or you'll need to drive about an hour for supplies.

Free spot to stay so can’t complain. Bring some blocks if you want to be level the sites are good for an rv under 27 feet. Pretty sunset. Slight hint of manure.

Small lake popular with fishermen. There were a few paddle sport users present. It is very hot in July and there are provided shade structures. You can see the Boysen Reservoir from the road on the north side of the lake, they are very close.  There are several pit toilets available around the perimeter of the lake.

4 shaded structures right along a beautiful lake with a perfect view of the mountains. no trouble getting in - paved roads. pit toilets & ADA accessible parking spot with ramp down to the water

Great place to stay if you can work around the mosquitoes. We stayed for a week and a half and it was very quiet and the water is very clear. Is very easy to find. GPS got us there no problem.

This was a cute little spot! We arrived early evening on a Thursday and it was empty. Good lake access and view of sunset. The GPS location from the app takes you to 4 spots, one ADA, but there are a couple more around the lake. Well maintained pit toilet. The two spots closest to the lake were flooded so watch out for that. Good service for Verizon. Make sure your GPS is taking Bass Lake Rd in from 26. Ours found a "shortcut" down the gravel ranching roads. Not sure why the info here says showers and hook ups, we did not see that. Not sure a tent camper would enjoy this spot.

Plenty of room on a great little lake. Had a 34 ft A class and took in on dirt road which covers about 2/3 of lake. The other 1/3 is a 2 lane paved road. Amazing back drop views of the mountains behind us and tons of running room for the boys and dog

Very easy to find. Last 1m of dirt road was a bit rutted, but not bad. Were the only ones here, so perfect to turn on some music, or sit in the quiet and listen to birds and elk. Lake teaming with birdlife, and saw fish jumping. Great dark sky. 2 Vault toilets were clean and no smell. No litter seen, so everyone has been good to pack in /out. Several sites have covered picnic tables and grills...or can share with neighbour if park either side. Saw some evidence of small fire puts, but didn't use them. Mostly level sites, but a few levellers wouldn't go amiss. Has a boat ramp.
