Henry Lake Dispersed Camping

Dirt road access leads to scattered camping spots along the shoreline of Henry Lake, where dispersed camping allows campers to select their preferred location. The area provides pit toilets and permits campfires, with cell service available for those needing connectivity. Campers arriving after dark can find roadside spots relatively easily, though morning views reveal the lake's proximity and mountain backdrop.

The dispersed setup accommodates RVs, tents, and walk-in camping, with boat access available directly from many sites. Henrys Lake Boat Access sits just half a mile west for those prioritizing water activities. Pet-friendly policies and ADA accessibility make this a practical overnight stop for travelers heading to nearby attractions or seeking lakeside camping without reservations.

Beautiful spot!

Stayed here one night on our way to Yellowstone and we really loved this spot. Pit toilets were a plus, and the lake itself was beautiful.

Great spots on beautiful lake

We got here late at night trying to navigate in the dark. It was pretty easy to find spots on the side of the dirt road. We were met with a lovely surprise with how beautiful the view was in the morning
