Sheep Slot Campsite sits on river left along the Firth River in Yukon's Ivvavik National Park, just downstream of Lamb Rapid at the transition into the Canyon Reach. Paddlers typically reach it via the scouting eddy used to assess Sheep Slot and Ram rapids.

It is a recommended stopping point before committing to the swift, continuous whitewater section that follows, and its position allows boaters to scout downstream conditions directly from camp.

The site takes its name from the narrow canyon above, where the walls pinch tight above the rapids.

The surrounding area carries historical depth as well — scattered remnants of 1930s gold miners' camps remain visible nearby, echoing a prospecting era that began in 1898 and saw a minor gold rush as late as 1947.

The campsite marks roughly the midpoint of the river journey, sitting about 30 miles below Joe Creek and 50 miles above Engigstciak.
