About

Sweetwater Bridge Campground is one of seven recreation areas along the Wind River Front, managed by the BLM Rock Springs Field Office. This small, fee-free campground provides a quiet base for exploring the Sweetwater River corridor and surrounding high desert landscape. The eight primitive sites include six drive-up accessible sites with compacted gravel parking spurs and two walk-in campsites, with two of the drive-up sites being pull-through. Each site is equipped with a fire ring featuring a grill attachment and a picnic table designed to accommodate wheelchair users. The campground has an accessible double vault toilet but no potable water, so campers should arrive fully self-sufficient. No reservations are accepted; all sites are first-come, first-served. The campground sits at roughly 7,000 feet elevation along a remote BLM road network. While officially open year-round, winter access can be limited by snowpack on the unpaved approach roads.
