The Sweetwater Guard Station Campground has 3 walk-in campsites and 8 pull-in sites featuring picnic tables and fire rings at each. The Campground is nestled at the base of the Wind River Mountains and sits next to the Sweetwater River. On the other side of the river is the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. This campground is located about 73 miles from Rock Springs and 69 miles from Lander. The access road is an improved dirt road, typically well-maintained during summer months. There is no winter maintenance, and the site is typically accessible only by snowmobile during winter. Additional facilities include a pit toilet and trash receptacles that are secured against bears with a carabineer-type clip. There are no hookups or potable water available. This free, accessible site is first come, first served.
CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race. Set up a free availability alert for Sweetwater Guard Station Campground.
