About
National Forest
This campground is located along the Laramie River Road (County Road 103) near the confluence of the West Branch Laramie River and the Laramie River. It is situated in a mature lodgepole pine forest where the mountain pine beetle has been very active. As a result, many dead trees have been cut to provide for visitor safety. Although somewhat less shady than in years past, the facility still provides for a pleasant camping experience. Each of the 49 sites has a picnic table, fire grate and tent pad. Popular activities include stream fishing, hiking in the Rawah Wilderness and wildlife viewing.

On the river
Campground on the river. Appears to have three loops and 40 sites total. Very clean bathrooms. Close to the west branch trailhead to hike in to the rawah wilderness.
Decent
Clean, well-maintained campground. More suited to RVs and trailers - spent 5 days in a tent. Great access to multiple trailhead sites. Tunnel was spared from the Chamber Peak fire. Arrived on Tuesday after 4th of July holiday and had pick of sites, full campground by Friday. I’d rate higher if I had a camper, but in a tent, there’s limited privacy, and a lot of traffic. Pitch sites are pretty close to the access road - which is great if you don’t want to carry your gear far, but not so great if you want a little privacy. If in a tent, I recommend #35, it’s close enough to the Laramie River that the noise of the water will drown out the noise of your neighbors!

Great location
About 5 miles up a well maintained gravel road. The host was very helpful and there's a nice hike from the campground. Wood available and a lot of shade. Stayed on a Monday and it was about 3/4 full by the end of the day.
