Love this place!

Shoshone Lake is a great campground. It makes you feel like you live in a different time without technology and distractions. The lake is fantastic for fishing and kayaking, and since the lake is located in a bowl, it is absolutely gorgeous! However, it is not an easy place to get to, hence the peacefulness of it. In order to get to this campground, you have to drive 15 miles from Lander, but the last 5 miles is a steep decline over large rocks and crevices. I would not recommend a normal vehicle try to tackle this road, you need an off-road vehicle to make it to the bottom. There are also various water crossings, through rivers, and part of the lake if you want access to half of the campgrounds. There are also a lot of mosquitos, so take a bunch of bug spray. I had so much fun here, although at 7 months pregnant, I walked a few miles down the mountain to the lake so I wasn't jostled so much!
