Remote cabin all to your group

We didn’t stay here but it sounds pretty amazing. Reservations are needed and for $80 per night you get the whole place. The drive is pretty stunning and you find yourself in the middle of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Two blocks down the road is Campbell Creek Campground. We chose to stay there. It is only $10 per night and we didn’t have reservations. By the look of the place, and from talking to other campers, La Prele Guard Station sounds like a great place to camp if you have a group looking for a confirmed place all together. 

Camp consists of a few buildings and a very spacious groomed area. It’s fenced off by a simple log fence. The style reminds me of lodges I’ve seen in documentaries about the National Parks.
