Green River Lakes Campground - Pinedale, WY
Green River Lakes Campground is one of Wyoming's most spectacular horse-camping destinations, set at 8,000 feet on the northern edge of the Wind River Range. Tucked beside Lower Green River Lake and framed by the iconic Square Top Mountain, the landscape offers a rare combination of dramatic scenery, accessible trail networks, and space for equestrian staging. The campground includes 39 single sites, 3 reservable group sites, drinking water in peak season, bear-proof lockers, stock corrals, and a dedicated horse trailhead with hitching posts and trailer parking. Vault toilets and rustic dirt roads reinforce the wilderness feel.
This is the primary entry point for the Continental Divide Trail and deep pack trips into the Bridger Wilderness. Riders can choose gentle lakeside loops or commit to longer ascents into high alpine meadows. The 22-mile dirt road from Pinedale follows the Green River, offering dispersed pullouts for those who prefer primitive camping with horses. Many visitors stay for a week, riding something new each day.
Summer brings wildflowers, clear glacial water, and abundant wildlife. Fall offers gold aspens and cooler riding temperatures. Despite its remote access, the campground remains a favorite among endurance riders, horse campers, photographers, and anyone looking for a true wilderness basecamp. No hookups exist, and weather can make the access road challenging, so trailers should plan accordingly. For riders seeking a blend of rugged adventure and iconic Wyoming scenery, Green River Lakes remains unmatched.
