About
Little Goose Campground is a small, primitive campground tucked into the Bighorn National Forest south of Sheridan, Wyoming. With just 3 rustic sites featuring 40-foot spurs, the campground provides a quiet, secluded experience for those willing to make the journey. Basic amenities include a vault toilet, fire pits, and picnic tables at each site, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Access to Little Goose requires a high-clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle. From Sheridan, travel south on WY 332 about 4 miles to WY 335, continue south another 10 miles, then turn left onto Forest System Road 314. The campground lies approximately 2 miles further on what the Forest Service describes as a very steep and rugged road. Several small streams are nearby, adding to the remote backcountry character. The campground operates first-come-first-served with no fees and no reservations. A 14-day stay limit applies. Campers must pack out all trash. The campground typically opens in early June and remains accessible through October, weather and road conditions permitting.

From Sheridan, WY, go south on WY 332 about 4 miles to WY 335. Continue south another 10 miles and turn left onto Forest System Road 314. The campground is about 2 miles further on a steep, rugged 4WD road.
