Sheffield Campground
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.
