Campground reservations

Securing High-Altitude Stays and Wilderness Permits

Wilderness permits for the Popo Agie are generally self-issue, but organized groups or specific developed sites in Sinks Canyon State Park require advance booking. The International Climbers' Festival in July causes local lodging to fill months ahead. Check the Wyoming State Parks and Shoshone National Forest sites to verify current reservation windows for the summer season.
