Middle Piney Road, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming
Anglers and trail hikers who want a quiet subalpine base on the cheap. Middle Piney Creek runs right through camp with brook, brown, and rainbow trout, and the trail out front connects to 80 miles of Wyoming Range backcountry. Bring cash, a bear-aware mindset, and layers, nights
No card reader, no cell signal on any carrier, no food lockers outside the host site, and maintenance has slipped enough that some sites come in overgrown. If comfort infrastructure matters, the 24-mile drive back to Big Piney will feel long fast.

The water is shut off every winter season.</p>
The elevation is 8,100 ft. The campground is a single loop through a stand of Subalpine fir and Lodgepole pine with some sites near the Middle Piney Creek. This is a quiet little campground set in a picturesque dell and has the feel of being an undiscovered gem. The understory is grass with fair privacy between camping sites. Two interesting day trips are to the Red Castles rock formation off Forest Rt. 10046 and the graves of immigrants along Lander Cut-off - Forest Rt. 10128.

Late June through August delivers the most reliable weather, with daytime temperatures in the 55–75°F range and nights dropping to the 30s and 40s. Summer is really the only practical season here. Winter brings deep snow and bone-chilling cold that closes the road. Weekends in July and early August see the heaviest use, but weekdays stay quiet even during peak season.
Late June–Aug offers the most reliable weather; summer is the practical season for visits.
