"So we drove around for a little while before heading to Brooklyn Lake.
Sugarloaf is easy to reach. Just take 130 from Centennial and turn right on USFS Road 346."
"This was my first experience in this area of SE Wyoming, but it did not disappoint. My boyfriend pulled off here on a cross country drive via I-80. We enjoyed our drives to and fro the site."

"We were up at Brooklyn Lake over the holiday weekend. The campground was closed but apparently in Wyoming a campground becomes dispersed if it’s not officially open."
"One of my favorite parts about this campground is that every site does have a view of the lake."
"Short drive into the Medicine Bow National forest and you’re here. There are a couple of loops right as you enter, which are the most level places to park a rig."
"I tent camped tucked into the forest a bit. The birch was dripping sap all night and I think I would have put my tent in the open if I had known. Some nice little fire pits."
$20 - $34 / night
"Great spot super close to the river. Lots of dispersed camping just outside this established campground."
"Camping sites a good distance from each other. Sites clean and firewood all around. Creek to dip your feet in and trails to hike on."
$10 / night
"If you have time, hike the nearby Crater Lake Trail for a view of an alpine lake."
"We had six moose, one with a very tiny baby come through our site at night and in the morning and the site next to us to feed in the big meadow."
"We found a great spot right next to the river on forest road 330C near North Fork Campground. The area was fairly busy on Labor Day weekend but we were basically isolated in this spot."
"Had a great time with my dog, very close to medicine bow, and awesome views of the river. Heard no cars throughout the night, there were three other campers I believe ."

"Excellent small trout stream runs next to the campground that has some nice brown’s. The hike up to the lake is nice. Pit toilets only, but easy access off the main highway."
"The bugs were terrible when we got there around sunset, but in the morning they weren’t swarming. There was lots of space between campers, and lots of places to choose from, all giving the same view."
"We arrived around sunset for a quick night on our road trip heading West. There were some bugs out but nothing crazy. Peaceful sounds of birds and waterfowl."
"Camped at Lake Hattie May 2020. We have a Tacoma and RTT, but any sort of car or camper could make it here no problem. No fees - this is BLM land."
"Easy access and can drive right up to the water and park. The wind was a variable as were the gnats, but they did not bite."
TravelerUnfortunately the road is closed right now, with no indication as to why, or when it might re-open...I just drove 2+ hours to get here so I'm very sad - gorgeous area though!
GuideStunning location with many campsites available. I only stopped overnight on a rainy day, but this place looks like it would be an awesome summer spot.
Vault toilets at campsite, quarter operated showers and flush toilets at the visitor center.
TravelerCurt Gowdy State Park is a beautiful area with a lot to offer. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, so it took a little time to find a good camping spot, but we eventually found a nice, semi-secluded site near the water. The park has plenty of vault toilets spread throughout, and the main visitor building has access to indoor bathrooms, a water fountain for filling personal bottles, a vending machine with a few soda options, and showers(about 50 cents for 3 minutes, if I remember correctly).We hiked several trails and saw lots of fishing spots definitely a great stop for anyone who loves outdoor activities. It was a little windy during our stay, but thats expected in this area. The campground itself is well maintained, and even though there is no dump station, there are water spouts(although they were turned off during our visit).What really stood out was the helpfulness of the park staff. During a sudden snowstorm that caused I-80 to close, we thought our propane might run out(it didn't), and weren't able to refill on propane because of road closure. We were able to move to an electric site for an extra$10 and the staff even loaned us a space heater just in case. We were very grateful for their kindness and support during an unexpected situation. Overall, a great state park with beautiful views, helpful amenities, and outstanding staff. We camped at Curt Gowdy State Park in a Travel Trailer.
ScoutFirst time there was around 1978. Been our favorite since. The lake is magnificent, complete with islands, giant boulders, and peaceful beyond belief. One thing that
is difficult explain why, is that every Sunset is stunningly beautiful. Have seen rainstorms that are powerful, as with all Colorado sites. We had an experience @
Lake Granby where it rained heavy the entire weekend, was not a great weekend.
After you have been to Dowdy the first time, it "gets in your blood" and likely will
be your instant go to campground.
TravelerOver night stay on route to our finale destination . Hot showers bathroom are clean. 30 amp hook up and water. We were good to go not the Taj Mahal but it served our needs. Level parking area.
ScoutMy family used to visit this lake a few times in the mid to late 60’s and looking at what it is now, I’m glad we enjoyed it with much less people and more rustic campsites. Loved swimming in the cold clear water and have loads of photos, my favorite is my dad standing at the lectern in the chapel pretending to preach a hellfire and damnation sermon!! Good memories…Great times.
GuideWe've camped at Dowdy Lake several times and each has been enjoyable. In the summer, reservations are hard to get, but the lake, the forested sites, and clean bathrooms are worth booking ahead for. Winter camping is FCFS and is a really nice if you get a "warm" winter weekend. The power at the sites is a plus, even for tent camping. The campground has a lot of outdoors to offer, between fishing, crawdad fishing, hiking, paddling, etc. Highly recommended!
GuideWe spent a late summer weekend here on a last-minute whim. Unfortunately, this place books up well in advance like most NFS campgrounds in Colorado. But if you get lucky, you can catch a last-minute opening from someone's cancellation. Our site was a little further from others than most, backed up to open space with beautiful sunsets, and bonus! These sites have electricity, which is somewhat rare. Even better, the bathrooms are very clean and have electricity too. The lake is beautiful, great for fishing or paddle boarding (not swimming), and the walk around the lake is pleasant.
TravelerI decided to stay here while a spring winter storm blew through. Making the reservation was easy. Then when I arrived they were helpful in showing me where my site was. The grounds seem clean and tidy. It was sub zero temperatures so the fact that I didn’t hear a peep from any of the many rigs here may not be a good indicator, but I am enjoying the quiet! Small enclosed dog area in the rear of the park. Note: WiFi available but it’s not strong enough for much.
