Sheffield Campground is located in the northeast corner of the Buffalo Ranger District, just outside of the John D. Rockefeller Parkway. Heading north on Highway 191 to Yellowstone, take a right onto the Forest Service dirt road before you get to the Snake River Bridge just before Flagg Ranch. The campground sits just outside of the Teton Wilderness. This location is equipped with 5 campsites, a single-unit vault toilet, access to bear boxes, and campfire rings. Nearby, visitors can access the wilderness via Sheffield Trailhead which provides access to the historic Huckleberry Lookout.
Starting 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. Approximate travel details from Moran: 25 miles, 39 minutes.
We loved it here. Almost all tent campers. We had an RV with a generator but didn't run it much. USFS website says 5 sites but I think there was probably 10. Our's looked brand new so it must have been a recent addition. The water had not been turned on yet so there was no fee. $10 a night after that. The creek you cross has a cement slab and there was no problem crossing it.
Dirt road is very narrow and trees are not trimmed at all. Road also crosses a creek which is fast moving at the moment. Couldn't even access the campground. Would not recommend for RV's of any size really.
We spent 3 nights there while waiting for Yellowstone reopening. It was one of the best place we stayed during our roadtrip. And special big up to the host Cathy who is so nice, works hard for making the campground as it is.
See ya !
It's a faily nice spot to camp...if you can find a spot. I went in late September right after all of the campgrounds within Yellowstone had closed and it was tough to find a spot. While not a big deal, the dirt "road" leading to the campground is VERY bumpy and there is a slight watercrossing. I would have liked for there to be a dedicated restroom, but things worked out. Although i doubt you'll never really be too far from a vehicle so, there also are bear boxes which is convenient for storage of food.
No room but what you bring. Mine was a simple tent. The bathroom is awesome! She takes good care of the site.
