Big Sandy

Absolutely beautiful and definitely worth the hike in. Hailed pretty bad on us the first night but that is largely our own fault for not checking the weather prior to starting the hike. Worth visiting for sure. No mosquitoes this time of year

Small cg tough road

Well, after driving a long crappy rocky narrow FS road you get to a tiny 4 site CG next to the very busy and packed Backcountry TH with dozens of vehicles. The CG has no water, trash or a vault toilet, as the toilet is in the Backcountry TH parking lot. Only 4 small sites and $7 night/ $3.50 senior. All sites are FF. Note that the last 7 miles from the BLM/ FS boundary is narrow and rough and in a windstorm likely to be blocked by falling dead lodgepole trees. No cell service. I would never haul a TT into this CG, it would be shook up hard in my opinion

Bring bug spray

Absolutely beautiful! The scenery is breaking...just don’t inhale a mosquito! This camping area is 4 miles from the Big Sandy Trailhead. We stayed 2 nights here. We hiked over Jackass Pass and into the Cirque of the Towers. That is a sight to see! The fishing was so much fun! So many brook trout and even some cutthroats in Lonesome Lake at the Cirque of the Towers. The bus were pretty bad so make sure you bring Deet. This is a backpacking camping area in. Bear country to make sure you have rope to tie your food up. On the north side of the lake there are some bear boxes provided. We camped near the outlet and there were only fire rings. Some had some makeshift benches out of logs around the fire pits. Fire wood is kind of scarce in the area. Bring a small hatchet if you can. This is worth battling the mosquitos, I promise!

Big Sandy Opening dispersed site

The area is a vast wonderland, endless in its possibilities for recreational opportunities. Fishing, Hiking or just relaxing and contemplating on how great life is right at this second. 1st off, you are on your own, no stores or markets to aid you if you forgot something. Pack wisely. 2nd temperatures can vary wildly in Wyoming, especially at altitude, so be prepared for cool nights and when day hiking. Skeeters can be fierce. Pack out everything and leave it better than you found it. Our camp was Dry primitive camp with a preestablished rock fire ring right by the river. Not much shade but that was fine. Up the road would be a good flat place for RV's as ours had a small spring which may cause trailers to get hung up on. There is a lodge, but I don't know if it has anything for sale besides cabins. Be prepared for a long fairly decent maintained dirt road. Enjoy.
