From Mountain View, WY, take State Rt. 140 south 12.9 miles to Blacks Fork Access sign (County Rt. 271). Turn left at sign onto Rt. 271 and go 13.1 miles to the forest boundary. Here, Rt. 271 becomes Forest Rt. 058. Continue on Rt. 058 for 5.9 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear right, staying on Rt. 058, and go 2.4 miles to an intersection. Turn right at intersection, continuing on Rt. 058, and then immediately left onto Forest Rt. 070 for 0.5 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground. NOTE: County Rt. 271 becomes an excellent dirt and gravel road in 1.7 miles. After 2.3 miles, Forest Rt. 058 changes from a smooth dirt and gravel surface to rough and rocky.
Nice little National Forest campground at a beautiful little lake with decent trout fishing. Water hydrants were inoperable, so bring plenty of drinkable water. Roads getting there are rough--recommend a truck or SUV.
Very nice little campground. We were very pleased with our visit. The camp host Matt did a great job. He was very friendly and we appreciated that he gave us a map with roafs/trails/campgrounds. The restrooms were well taken care of.
This is such a fun area and campground. We had so much fun that we stayed extra days. The fishing was great, the trails were fun and the scenery is just beautiful. Matt is such an incredible, funny and reliable camp host. He is on top of everything making sure the bathrooms and camp sites are clean. This is one of the cleanest campgrounds I have been to. Thanks for having us and we will be back!
Beautiful spot next to a small lake. It's a bumpy 18 mile drive in on a dirt road- 4 wheel drive recommended. The campground has water, a pit toilet, and fire rings despite the remote location, there was more trash left around that we saw in other campgrounds in the area. Pack it in, pack it out, people!! We camped at the end of June and woke up to a light snow storm! Check the weather before you go!
Spent 3 nights at Little Lyman Lake to get out of the Heat. This is a wonderful campground with 6 small RV campsites and 4 tent sites. Sites 2, 3, 8 and 10 are pull thru. Site 1 is a double back in and 9 is a deep back in. There’s two very clean pit toilets but no water. Doesn’t sound like they will ever get water back so bring enough with you as we could not find any even in Mountain View. The host, Matthew drives up from Meeks Cabin multiple times every day and checks to see if you need anything, he is the greatest caretaker. There is only a few negatives. There’s a lot of people who come into the site to use the bathrooms and fish without paying the day use fee. They did leave some trash in the toilets and around the lake. People also walk right through the campsite to go to the lake. Not too noisy on the weekends and plenty of available sites, we had 2 other campers on Saturday night. Sunday night and Monday we had the whole valley to ourselves. The fishing after everyone left was great, brook and speckled trout, small but fun to catch on light tackle or flies. Matthew made up for the minimal negatives. If you disperse up at Big Lyman and come down to fish, pay the day use fee, make sure you have your fishing license and take your trash out. We’ll be back for some mid week camping soon. Don’t even think you will get cell service, but isn’t that the point.
