Sacajawea Campground Introduce

Nestled in the heart of Bridger Teton National Forest, Sacajawea Campground offers a tranquil escape for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Located at an elevation of 8,300 feet, this campground provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of Wyoming. With 24 first-come, first-served sites, Sacajawea Campground is ideal for those seeking a quiet and rustic camping experience.

The campground is equipped with essential amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Each site features tables, fire rings, and access to vault toilets and trash bins. Bear bins are available to safely store food, though visitors should note that water spigots were under final testing during the last review. The absence of cell service on major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile adds to the remote and serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to disconnect and reconnect with nature.

Sacajawea Campground is particularly appealing for its proximity to the historic Lander Cutoff of the Oregon Trail, offering a scenic and educational journey through Snider Basin. While the road to Big Piney Lake was closed for construction during the last visit, the drive to the campground itself is a mix of paved and well-maintained gravel roads, making it accessible for most vehicles.

Customer feedback highlights the peaceful and lightly used nature of the campground, with many visitors appreciating the quiet surroundings and the opportunity to explore the nearby historic trails. One reviewer noted the presence of a host on-site and the availability of bear bins, though they mentioned the need to be cautious with food storage. The long drive on dirt roads was seen as a worthwhile journey, leading to a truly secluded and picturesque camping spot.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, Sacajawea Campground offers a unique blend of natural beauty, history, and tranquility. Come experience the charm of this hidden gem in Bridger Teton National Forest and create lasting memories in the great outdoors.

CG has 24 sites all FF, no reservations. $7/$3.50. Tables, fire rings, vault toilets, trash bins, bear bins, however water was needing final testing but should be available on spigots scattered around. NO Cell signal on Verizon, att or TMobile. Host onsite. 8300 ft elenation. Most sites are small but a few are ok for TTs and RVs. Road up to big Piney lake was closed for construction project, even to hikers and bikes with threat of $$ fine! 23 mi from Big Piney, first 10 paved, last 10 are good condition graded gravel. Note there are a bunch of free dispersed camping sites from FS boundary to CG turnoff.

June 2021. Campground had only 1 other party present. While there were signs warning to store food there were no food lockers. The only food locker was at the unoccupied Host site. Seemed very lightly used as fire rings had moss and weeds growing in them. Long drive on dirt to get to it but it puts one in position to drive south thru Snider Basin to join the Lander Cutoff of the Oregon trail which is very scenic as well as historic.

Very neglected and overgrown. Don't think the camp host was really on site, Drove around in the morning then never saw the rest of the day. There was only one other occupied campsite, didn't feel very safe.

Campground is closed thru July 2020 for improvements. Would have been nice to get notice before we came up there.
