Within Medicine Bow National Forest, this US Forest Service campground operates from late May through October along Bottle Creek. The facility sits in the forest system northeast of Encampment, providing access to the surrounding wilderness area during the warmer months.
Campers can find additional sites around Encampment for extended stays in the region. The campground shares its location with the nearby Bottle Creek Group Picnic Site, creating a small cluster of forest service facilities. Plan for seasonal closure from November through mid-May when snow typically blocks access roads.
