About

Little Popo Agie Campground is a small, primitive campground situated in Shoshone National Forest along the Little Popo Agie River. With only 4 campsites, including one suitable for trailers up to 16 feet, this quiet campground offers a true backcountry experience in the southern Wind River Mountains. The area is known for bear activity, and food storage in provided bear boxes is required. The campground provides basic amenities including picnic tables, fire grates, and a vault toilet. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash, as no services are provided. The remote location, accessible via State Highway 131 and Forest Road 300, offers excellent opportunities for day hiking, backpacking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The trailhead to Popo Agie Falls and access to the Popo Agie Wilderness are nearby. This is a cash or check only facility with a $5 per night fee during the operating season. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 16-day stay limit. The site is typically open from July through September, weather dependent.

Directions

From Lander, go south on State Highway 131 then Forest Road 300 for about 23 miles.
