Blucher Creek Campground

About

Blucher Creek Campground is a free, primitive BLM campground located in the remote high country of western Wyoming, approximately 74 miles from Rock Springs and 70 miles from Lander. The campground offers 7 drive-up campsites connected by graded dirt pathways, making it one of the more accessible backcountry camping options in the region. The campground features full ADA accessibility with an accessible single vault toilet, picnic tables with extended ends at each site, and three sites with accessible fire rings with grill attachments. A warming hut with a wood-burning stove provides a welcome shelter, though there is a step at the entrance. Tree coverage offers natural shade for campsites. This is a true backcountry experience with no potable water, no cell phone reception, and no fees. Campers should come fully self-sufficient with all water and supplies. The 14-day stay limit allows for extended visits to explore the surrounding BLM lands along the Continental Divide.
