This Bureau of Land Management campground sits at 8,150 feet elevation, accessible via 8.5 miles of graded gravel road from Boulder. The 14 first-come, first-served sites accommodate small to mid-size RVs and trailers, though livestock trailers must use a separate area. No fees apply for the 14-day maximum stay.
Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with most featuring elevated fire pits and grills. A hand pump provides potable water, and vault toilets serve the campground. Cell reception reaches 1-2 bars for major carriers. The campground shows evidence of past fire activity, with new growth among aspen and lodgepole pine, plus scattered Douglas fir trees.
Campers use this location as a trailhead for hiking into the Bridger-Teton National Forest backcountry. The trail leads six miles to Little Divide Lake and continues deeper into mountain terrain. Rock climbing opportunities exist at nearby granite formations. Greg L. found the campground "completely empty" during his pre-July 4th visit, though summer weekends see more activity.
Sites spread out well across the area, with no camp host present. Campers pack out all trash, and pets are prohibited. For additional camping choices, explore places to camp around Boulder or check the nearby Scab Creek - Large Vehicle Campground for bigger rigs.
