Bridger Lake Campground

126 FR, Evanston, UT, 82930

Driving directionsFrom Mountain View, Wyoming, take Highway 410 south for 7 miles, then County Road 283 for 8.2 miles. Turn onto Forest Road 072 and travel 7.9 miles to Forest Road 126. Turn onto FR 126 for a short distance to the campground.
Access includes a mix of Highway 410, County Road 283, and rugged Forest Roads (072 and 126). Parts of the road are described as dirt with rough washboarding, particularly over the last 15 miles, making conditions challenging for trailers. Several reviews highlight the lack of road maintenance and recommend securing items in trailers due to bumpiness.

Best Time to Camp at Bridger Lake Campground

Mother Nature keeps you on your toes at Bridger Lake, where summer afternoons often bring dramatic thunderstorms that roll across the mountains, filling the air with the fresh scent of rain-washed pine. The high-altitude climate creates a delightful paradox – crisp mornings that may dip into the low 30s give way to pleasantly warm afternoons reaching the low 70s. Pack layers and embrace the mountain's moods, from misty mornings perfect for fishing to sun-drenched afternoons ideal for lakeside relaxation.
