Big Sandy Campground

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!
