About POLE CREEK CABIN

Federal campground in Wyoming.

Nestled in the heart of Wyoming's stunning landscapes, Pole Creek Cabin offers a genuine escape into nature that appeals to those seeking authentic outdoor experiences away from the hustle and bustle. This national forest setting provides the perfect backdrop for travelers who want to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with what matters most—family, friends, and the natural world.

The location positions you ideally for exploring some of Wyoming's most captivating terrain. The surrounding national forest lands offer incredible opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Early mornings bring the chance to spot elk, deer, and various bird species as they move through the forest. The nearby waterways make this a premier destination for anglers, whether you're an experienced fly fisher or just starting out. Numerous trails of varying difficulty levels crisscross the area, allowing families with different fitness levels to find adventures suited to their abilities.

The cabin setup provides a more immersive camping experience than traditional RV parks, giving you the feeling of genuine wilderness living while maintaining the comfort you need after a full day of exploration. Many guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere that allows for quality time together, whether you're gathered around a campfire sharing stories or simply enjoying the quietness that only comes when you're surrounded by pristine forest.

The area's natural beauty shifts beautifully through the seasons. Spring and early summer bring wildflower displays and rushing streams fed by snowmelt, while fall transforms the landscape into a palette of golds and reds. Even winter visitors find magic in the snowy vistas and solitude of the national forest.

Wyoming's central location makes this an excellent base for exploring other regional attractions. The nearby communities offer supplies and services, ensuring you're never too far from civilization when needed. Whether you're seeking solitude, adventure, or quality family time, Pole Creek Cabin delivers a memorable Rocky Mountain experience that keeps guests returning year after year.

An experience not to be missed. If you want to go back in time to 'simple' and uncomplicated.

The access road was snowed in so we had to hike the 1/2 mile but it was so worth it and the kids learned about having to pack, unpack and repack each day with trips back and forth, and take and use only what is required. Previous guests left a little water, fire starters, some canned goods, paper towels, hand sanitizer, dish detergent, wet wipes. TP is provided so don't take up precious packing room. There were mattresses on the bunks and pillows. Light blankets are all that is required when the wood burning stove it cranked.

Nice basic cabin that can sleep four. No electricity, but kitchen basics and a few pantry items were in the cupboards. The vault toilet is across from the cabin with a locking handle. We booked through recreation.gov and the BHNF called us with the code for the door a day or two before our reservation. NOTE: if you do not have a higher clearance vehicle or are not familiar with trail driving, stay... Nice basic cabin that can sleep four.

NOTE: if you do not have a higher clearance vehicle or are not familiar with trail driving, stay parked down at the fence to avoid potentially bottoming out. It is a short walk up to the cabin.

This place was amazing. Ski trail was easy enough for first timers. Nice bunk beds! Sturdy. ;) Wood burning stove kept us cozy even as the snow fell. There were blankets kitchen gear and other accoutrement in case you forgot. Even a mostly empty bottle of whiskey! Coleman lantern ftw!

Such a beautiful, secluded, cozy place! Our only complaint was that the mattresses on the beds are fabric and are so filthy and old, they make you feel gross sleeping on them.
