Lodge Pole Dispersed Campsite

Medicine Bow National Forest's Lodge Pole Dispersed Campsite sits about 15 minutes from Laramie, with drive-in access along a road that handles most vehicles comfortably for the first mile before turning rough with limited turnaround options. Road noise is a minor factor near the highway. A small lake sits at the end of the road, not suitable for swimming but worth noting as a landmark. Larger rigs up to 45 feet have found workable pull-in spots, and those exploring campgrounds near Medicine Bow National Forest will find several dispersed options nearby, including Pole Mountain Dispersed Camping half a mile northwest. Campfires and pets are permitted. The site rewards campers who arrive prepared for a rougher back section.

Can hear highway noise

Place is relatively small only roughly 8 spots. Can hear the highway from our spot. It does have pretty scenery

Fantastic views and quiet setting very near town

Just 15 minutes from Laramie, extremely easy to get to, many spots to pull into and some big enough for 40 or 45 ft rigs, Road is fine for most vehicles for first mile or so but then gets a bit bumpy with few turnaround spots. Tiny bit of road noise but otherwise a beautiful location

Wonderful Sites

We travel in a Truck Camper & this spot was a fantastic stop along the way. It is a better Camper/RV spot than it is tent camping (IMO) but phenomenal regardless. Feels very private with beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Solid campground

At the campground at the end of the road, there’s a picturesque little lake to admire, though not good for swimming. It’s conveniently located near the highway, yet it still maintains a secluded feel.
