Riverside access and basic amenities define this no-frills Forest Service site along the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Shoshone National Forest. The setup is straightforward: fire pits with grills, picnic tables, food storage boxes, and an outhouse. No running water is available on-site, so campers should arrive prepared. Nearby options include Threemile Campground roughly a mile west for those wanting more developed facilities. Sleeping Giant works best as an overnight stop rather than a base camp for extended stays.
Description
The Sleeping Giant Picnic Site is located on the North Fork of the Shoshone River and has six sites with tables, a vault toilet, fire rings, cook grates, and food storage boxes. Nearby activities include fishing, hiking, and viewing and photographing wildlife and scenery. The Sleeping Giant Picnic Site is about three miles from the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It's a great place to stop for lunch on your way to Yellowstone.
