Hobble Creek Campground sits 35 miles from the nearest town in Bridger-Teton National Forest, earning its reputation as one of the most remote campgrounds in the lower 48. The 12 primitive sites rest alongside Hobble Creek at 7,100 feet, offering serious solitude for campers comfortable with minimal amenities. Fees run $7-$10 per night.
The campground supports primitive tent camping and combined sites suitable for small groups and individuals. RV camping is not recommended due to road conditions.
Weather and SeasonsSummer delivers the most reliable access and comfortable conditions, with daytime highs between 60-75°F and nights dropping into the 30s-40s. The high elevation keeps crowds minimal compared to lower parks, but afternoon thunderstorms roll through regularly, so start hikes early. Trails and streams reach full accessibility in summer. Road conditions limit access outside the summer window, and the 35-mile approach becomes impassable when weather turns.
ElevationPerched at 7,100 feet above sea level, this high-altitude hideaway places you among the clouds in Wyoming's mountain country. The thin air and cooler temperatures at this elevation create an invigorating atmosphere, while the altitude provides stunning vantage points and crisp, star-filled nights that seem close enough to touch.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a creekside setting surrounded by high-elevation forest within the 3.4-million-acre Bridger-Teton ecosystem. Hobble Creek flows directly through the area, providing both scenery and fishing access. Conifers and alpine meadows dominate the landscape at this elevation, and the remote location means wildlife sightings outnumber human encounters. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's intact habitat extends in every direction.
Geological RegionNestled within the vast expanse of Bridger-Teton National Forest, this campsite sits in one of the largest intact ecosystems in the lower 48 states. The forest's 3.4 million acres encompass rugged mountain ranges, pristine rivers, and diverse wildlife habitats, making it a crown jewel of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
