Shoshone Campground
National Park Service - Great Basin National Park

The camp is not signed, but is located at the end of Snake Creek Canyon Road at the trailhead to Johnson & Baker Lake.  There are 3 campsites all with tables and fire pits with flip-over grills.  There is a mens and ladies pit toilet, but no water.

The tent sites (no RV sites) are located in a natural grassy area underneath Quaking Aspens.  The camp is pretty with awesome foliage in the Autumn.  Snake Creek Canyon is desirable, totally isolated and away from the crowds!  But if for some reason the camp is full, Snake Creek camp is only 1 mile downstream, as well as a dozen primitive camp sites along Snake Creek.

The few people who camp here typically hike the long trails up and over Johnson Pass, which seems to be spectacular in brochures, but I did not hike it myself this trip.  Here's a tip, if you are hiking over the trails, do not park in a campsite.  Let someone else who wants to camp there use it.  Reviewed SEP98, JUL03.
