About
Sinks Canyon Campground sits along the Popo Agie River at 8.5 miles south of Lander in Shoshone National Forest. The 14-site campground is positioned between Popo Agie Falls and Sinks Canyon State Park, where the river disappears into the mountainside and reemerges downstream. A nearby trailhead provides access to the Popo Agie Wilderness for backpacking trips. The campground offers vault toilets, picnic tables, cook grates, and hand-pumped potable water. Bear boxes are provided at campsites for required food storage. Maximum spur length is 20 feet, making this campground suitable only for smaller RVs and trailers. Rock climbing is available on nearby BLM lands, and the Popo Agie River offers stream fishing opportunities. The area is known for wildlife viewing including bighorn sheep, deer, and black bears. The stay limit is 16 days.
Directions
From Lander, go about 8.5 miles south on State Highway 131.
