Bridger Lake Campground sits at 9,400 feet on the northern slope of the Uinta Mountains, right next to Bridger Lake in the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site is set up for visitors who want to fish, canoe and explore local trails. Vault toilets are the only amenities on site, and a fee is charged for stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit.

Winters there are cold, with January highs around 31°F. The Bridger Lake Shore Trail starts about 0.3 miles away, and the Sargent Lake B Bike trail is about 0.1 mile off.
