About
Bald Mountain Campground occupies a scenic location at 9,200 feet elevation along the Medicine Wheel Passage Scenic Byway (U.S. Highway 14A) in Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest. A forest of pine and aspen surrounds the 15 campsites, with small creeks winding through the area. The high elevation means temperatures can drop significantly after sunset. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets, drinking water from a hand pump, and trash collection during the season. Each site has a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Sites are limited to 8 people and one 8x10 tent maximum due to space constraints. Two vehicles are permitted per site, with the second vehicle incurring a $10 fee. The Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark, a significant Native American geoglyph, is located 4 miles from the campground. Jaws Trailhead nearby provides access to Bucking Mule Falls Trail and Porcupine Creek. After the official season closes, the campground remains open for self-supported camping as weather permits, though water, trash collection, and cleaning services are not available.
