Sheffield Campground

Forest Service Road 30504, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming

Driving directionsStarting from Moran, Wyoming (located 27 miles south of Yellowstone National Park’s south entrance and 19 miles north of the Town of Moose, Wyoming), head west on United States (US) Highway 26/287 for approximately 0.2 miles. Turn right onto US 89/191/287, following said road for approximately 24 miles. Make a right onto Forest Service Road 30504 and continue on for 0.5 miles. Sheffield Campground is located on the left.
The dirt road leading to the campground is narrow, unpaved, and features a creek crossing with a slotted concrete foundation that may rise quickly with warmer weather. The road has branches that can scratch larger vehicles, and it may be challenging to navigate for RVs.
Nearby places
Moran: 25 miles, approximately 39 minutes driving.
Nearby supplies
Closest supplies are available at Flagg Ranch near Snake River Bridge and Headwaters Campground, which offer groceries and fuel, approximately 3–5 miles away.

Best Time to Camp at Sheffield Campground

From late spring through early autumn, Sheffield Campground transforms into an outdoor paradise where temperatures dance between crisp 25°F mornings and pleasantly warm 77°F afternoons. Early season visitors might witness winter's final flourish as snowflakes dust the landscape, while those arriving as summer peaks should prepare for adventurous creek crossings swollen with snowmelt. The shoulder seasons paint the forest in nature's most dramatic palettes, though late fall explorers should pack extra layers for potential snow encounters.
