Worth considering

Nestled 25-30 minutes north of Casper, this campground boasts a remote and picturesque charm that sets it apart from its counterparts closer to town. If I were to weigh the options between Bear Trap Campground and Deer Haven Campground against this location, the first two would definitely clinch my preference. 

This campground's proximity to the highway may be too close for for some. I can only imagine the potential sleep disruption for tent-dwellers as the night unfolds with the hum of traffic nearby but it’s still nothing compared to what you’d hear in town. 

Considering the altitude, a word of advice: anticipate a slight chill in the air, particularly as the season's edges draw near. A little preparation on the clothing front can prevent any unexpected shivers from overshadowing your camping experience. So, pack accordingly if you don't want chilly surprises!

There's an angler's paradise awaiting in nearby reservoirs– fantastic fishing opportunities. Many great outdoor activities in this area! So, all in all, while this campground might not clinch the gold medal, it's still worth considering and still may be quieter than options in Casper.
