About

Big Atlantic Gulch Campground sits in the historic South Pass area of Wyoming, just one mile from Highway 28 near Atlantic City. This BLM-managed facility offers 10 campsites in a scenic high-elevation setting that was once traversed by early settlers and miners. The campground provides basic amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, vault toilets, and seasonal water (weather permitting). Sites can accommodate medium-sized recreational vehicles, and the facility is ADA accessible. Operating seasonally from June through October, the campground is managed on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. A campground host is occasionally on site during the use season. The area is known bear habitat, so proper food storage and bear awareness are essential.
