About
Pine Island Group Area is a dedicated group campground nestled along the South Fork Tongue River in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains. The single large site can accommodate groups of up to 150 people, making it ideal for family reunions, scout troops, and organizational gatherings. A three-sided picnic shelter with 30-amp electrical outlets provides covered gathering space, while picnic and serving tables, a campfire circle with grill, and a horseshoe pit offer group recreation options. The campground sits at approximately 8,400 feet elevation surrounded by lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, and Douglas fir. The South Fork Tongue River flows alongside the site, and nearby Sibley Lake offers non-motorized boating and an accessible fishing dock. Off-road vehicle trails, scenic jeep roads, and hiking trails are accessible from the area, with many routes leading into the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Nearby attractions include Shell Falls Visitor Center (22 miles southwest) and the Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark (27 miles). Arrowhead Lodge, Bear Lodge, and Elk View Inn are nearby for supplies, dining, and OHV rentals.
Directions
From Dayton, WY, take U.S. Highway 14 west for approximately 24 miles. The campground will be on the left.
