Deer Creek Campground, Shoshone National Forest
Hikers and backpackers headed into the Washakie Wilderness get the most from this spot. The Deer Creek Trail starts right at camp, Deer Creek Falls is within easy reach, and the site only fits rigs up to 16 feet, so it stays genuinely low-traffic.
The gravel road splitting the campground down the middle means vehicle noise reaches every site, and there's no potable water on-site, so hauling your own supply is mandatory. Light sleepers and those expecting quiet seclusion tend to leave disappointed.

Summer is the best time to visit, with daytime temperatures typically between 60 and 75°F and nights dropping to the mid-30s to low 50s. Long daylight hours make it ideal for hiking to Deer Creek Falls, fishing in the creek pools, and wildlife viewing. The six primitive sites mean fewer crowds than larger campgrounds. Winter brings snow and temperatures around 30°F during the day, dropping to 12°F at night, with weekly snowfalls up to 3 inches.
Described as best time: 60–75°F days and ideal hiking conditions to the falls.
Potable water is not available at this site.
