Little Brooklyn Guard Station is located nine miles west of Centennial, Wyoming just off the Snowy Range Scenic Byway at an elevation of 10,340 feet. The guard station was constructed in 1931 as housing for Forest Service employees. Today, it is a unique year-round lodging experience for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in southeastern Wyoming. During the dry, summer months, guests can drive directly to the cabin; however during the snowy months, access is limited to snowmobiles, skis or snowshoes. Guests can expect to travel about three miles from the parking lot at Green Rock Recreation Area. Access is limited during the shoulder seasons of spring and fall when snow isnt deep enough to snowmobile on, but too deep to drive in. Please understand these limitations before deciding to reserve the cabin during this time of year. The cabin offers many modern amenities, but guests should be prepared to pack in some of their own supplies and gear, especially in winter. As stated above, please be aware that there may be snow in the area until mid-July and the road can be muddy, bumpy, or inaccessible; we recommend calling the USFS Laramie Ranger District office at (307) 745-2300 prior to your reservation to receive the latest weather and road conditions.
A vast hiking trail system that accesses the highest elevations of the Snowy Range is available within 2 miles of the cabin. Hikers may attempt to summit Medicine Bow Peak, the highest peak in the Range at an elevation of 12,013 feet. Sheep Lakes Trail and Glacier Lakes Trails are also nearby. Fishing is available at many alpine lakes and streams, including Brooklyn Lake and Little Brooklyn Lake, which is within walking distance of the cabin. Winter brings deep powder snow for the snowmobiler, snowshoer and cross-country skier. Opportunities exist for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and hunting in designated areas nearby.
From valleys and canyons that rise steeply to jagged ridges, the area around the cabin boasts alpine lakes and a mixed forest of spruce, lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and aspen. In the summer, guests can enjoy a view of wildflowers spilling down the meadow in front of the cabin to the edge of serene Little Brooklyn Lake. In winter, this same meadow is blanketed in pristine snow. Wildlife is abundant near the cabin, including elk, deer and coyotes. Migratory birds, squirrels and an occasional black bear find habitat in the forest as well.
Guests can travel the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (Highway 130) in the summer. There are many campgrounds, picnic areas and hiking trails along its course. The small Snowy Range Ski Resort is adjacent to this scenic byway as well; however, portions of Highway 130 are not completely accessible during the winter.
Refunds may be processed on a case-by-case basis. There are no refunds for reservation processing fees. Please be aware of changes in weather and road conditions prior to arrival and plan accordingly.

The cabin offers an ideal winter playground, with a snowy landscape perfect for recreation. Snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing are popular activities. The Brush Creek Cross-Country Ski Trails are made up of loop trails winding through aspen, lodgepole pine stands and reclaimed clear-cuts. The frequency of trail grooming depends on weather conditions and equipment.
After the Wyoming Highway Department closes their gate for the winter the highway becomes a popular snowmobile trail. The Wyoming State Trails map shows over 300 miles of groomed and ungroomed trail. A new map is created each year. Other recreational opportunities in the area include cross country skiing on the trails behind the Barracks and sledding at the old Ryan Park Ski Area.
The Snowy Range is aptly named. The Barracks, at 8,100 feet, receives early autumn snow and by Halloween the snow is beginning to accumulate. Eight miles up from the Barracks is the Highway 130 winter closure gate.
$200 / night
The Snow Survey Cabin provides visitors with a rustic accommodation on the Snowy Range.

The one room cabin can accommodate up to four people on two sets of bunk beds. There is a propane cook stove/heater, and solar lights.

Basic cooking and eating utensils, plates, knives, forks, spoons, cups, and basic pots and pans are furnished. If you use these items, they need to be cleaned and put away after use. The garbage is pack in, pack out. Recreational opportunities accessible from the cabin are almost unlimited. In summer months a vast hiking trail system that accesses the highest elevations of the Snowy Range including Medicine Bow Peak is nearby. Beginning in late spring, fishing is available at many alpine lakes and streams including the very popular Mirror Lake Day use site. Winter brings deep snow for the snowmachiner or cross country skier.

This tiny but mighty cabin, w/coffee included, sits up on Jelm Mountain at 7600 ft with a view overlooking the Laramie River. This cozy spot is equipped with a queen bed, Outhouse, propane gas grill, picnic table, fire pit, and gazebo. .
Little Cabin with a View sits right on the edge of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest and is close to the Wyoming Colorado Border. This makes it an amazing hiking destination and great for snowshoeing and Nordic skiing in the winter. Depending on the time of year a trip up Jelm Mountain offers some beautiful views. The lack of light pollution make for great star gazing or full moon watching from the gazebo, or the Little Cabin front porch.
There is electricity, electric heat, microwave & mine fridge. The Wi-Fi is accessible in the sunroom at the main house, located about 80 ft from the Little Cabin, but does not extend to the Little Cabin.

Guide
State parks were full so we stopped over in Laramie. Originally planned on a tent site but once we saw how open the tent space was, we decided to grab a dog friendly cabin instead. It was cozy with air conditioning and a mini fridge. Kind of a weird location between a neighborhood and hotels.. but it did the trick. Nice community fire pit for us to relax next to in the evening. Staff were friendly and helpful and bathrooms were clean.
Traveler
This small campground is located on the Laramie River at historic Wood's Landing. It has log cabins with common facilities and 5 available water/30 amp electric and a dump station. The sites are small but the location is feet from fine trout fishing and a good restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday. It has a small store and a gas pump where fishing licenses are sold. We stayed for a week and explored Big Creek Lake, the North Platte and the Snowy Range, earning the weekly rate. Some sites have a fire pit and table, ours did not.
Traveler
My wife and I rented this cabin for two nights. The views are awesome and the cabin is very cozy. The host(linda) is truly a angel and goes out of her way to make everything great. There is river access very close and they offer a razor ride up jelm mountain and numerous trails to hike on.
Scout
Cute little place, very quiet and pretty. Creekside cabin, with fire ring and picnic table.
BYO toilet paper, just in case ... we had 1/2 a roll.
Cabin is definitely showing its age, though the four-burner electric stove and the white fridge-freezer work just fine. It has three sinks, two showers, one toilet, plus a long outdoor laundry line.
We were there with our Girl scout troop (six 13-year-olds). The picnic table and the large kitchen table were great for meals and crafts, such as tie dying shirts, making scented candles, etc.
The kitchen has plates, bowls, mugs, forks and glasses/cups. You may want to bring a measuring cup, spoons, knives, napkins, sponges (for washing up).
DONT FORGET TO PACK OUT ALL OF YOUR TRASH. The two groups before us didn't; what jerks.
We drove 12 miles from this cabin to hike to Crater Lake; it's pretty country. Dusty roads, loads of stars, other little creeks nearby.
Guide
This campground has everything you need and then some. Nice restrooms and showers. There are tent, cabins and rv sites. For the kids there's a playground and miniature golf. The only negative is there's no grass. It's a big gravel lot. It's right off the highway. Great for travelers going through.
GuideThis place was just what we needed. Bathhouse was spotless. Lots of hot water. The spots were nicely spaced. Not crowded at all. It's all gravel but hey, it's in the high Wyoming desert! $40 but got the Good Sam discount and that helped.
GuideClose to the highway and the University of Wyoming.. Clean restroom facilities, friendly staff, and nice camp store. Only negatives were the campsites were a bit small, though we were on the end of an aisle and we only had a pop up) and the WiFi signal was pretty weak.
TravelerWestern Hills is a great overnight spot on I-80 in Wyoming. We had left the Tetons and this park was located at our 6 hour drive limit. It is super clean and organized. We enjoyed the cleanest bathrooms and showers that we have EVER had on the road. These people really take pride in their RV park. We certainly will be back! Thank you Western Hills for giving us a wonderful place to clean up and rest while on our travels.
Scout
Excellent small campground. Everything from full hookups to grassy tent spots. Bathroom with showers. Laundry facilities. Sits on the Encampment River. Owners Lee Ann & Leroy were very friendly & helpful.
ScoutVery well maintained and clean. Leroy, the owner lives there onsite. A mix of primitive and full hookup sites are available and even a 4 room motel. Very quiet and calm when we stayed in June. Easy highway access,but virtually no cell service with Verizon. The campground provided WiFi was decent. Leroy runs a tight ship at the camp, but it’s worth it. I would stay again when back in the area.
TravelerThe campground is a gem! The people are great, and the facilities are very well maintained. The river is beautiful. I'd stay there again any chance I get.
Ranger
Nice for an over night. Sites are too close and tight. Kids running around screaming. We walked out our door in the morning and an irresponsible dog owner left their dogs poop 5 ft from our steps.
TravelerNothing crazy special about this place but it’s clean and right off the highway. The tent sites are a good size and the available was great. All in all I’d stop here for the night, no problem.
GuideThis camp site is a bit small but did have pull through spots large enough for our F150 and 37’ trailer. If you have a long setup I suggest bringing an extension cord for your electric. Inexplicably, the pedestal for the electric was pretty close to the front of the pull through. Luckily a fellow camper had a spare extension we could borrow. This site was convenient however for passing through. The sunset was beautiful with the mountains as a backdrop. The park is clean, would stay again.
LegendThis is is a KOA journey, which means it's a campground to overnight on your way to somewhere else. The interstate is very close, so there's traffic noise. The good though is easy on, easy off. The area is in a drought right now, so no splash pad. Showers work just fine& are clean. Bathrooms are also clean& smell nice. Interior roads& campsite pads are gravel. There's a nice camp store. Staff is friendly& courteous. As for attractiveness, I would say not very. However, I could shower in a clean bathroom& camp in a safe place before leaving the next day. I would recommend for a night
GuideJust OK for overnight stop. All gravel. Staff were friendly.
TravelerThis KOA had full hook up, and WiFi available. However it was very dusty, right against the interstate, and smelled like the asphalt plant that was apparently near by. We did not check out the laundry or restrooms/showers so can’t say anything about the condition of those.
ScoutSmall spaces for a class A 38’ and towing a Jeep. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Right off highway. Great for a fast stop.
GuideThis relatively new KOA is awesome. It’s a Journey but has poured concrete patios, tables and chairs and rockers and propane stoves at the site. Easy on/off to 80. Best place to eat in town - Peppermills
GuideSunny and dry and nary a tree in sight. Close to the Interstate. Helpful staff. Just a stop over. No long term joy here.
GuideLike the other KOAs in this area, this is certainly not a destination campground. It is however great for an overnight stay and convenient for checking out all the tourist attractions in the area.
They have a nice pavilion, dog park, laundry and the spaces are nice.
Staff was very nice, very friendly and they had little treats when you check in!
TravelerWe made the Rez but when we got there they were going to put us in overflow which was just dirt. With heavy winds it would be horrible to have windows open since sit had no hookups. We canceled and they were very nice about giving refund and anther close by campground name!
ScoutOk for a overnight. Great people running this KOA. A little noisy from freeway noise.
GuideWe woke up and enjoyed most of the first half of the day enjoying Yellowstone. We left Old Faithful around 1:30 to start heading home.
We found the Rawlings KOA a perfect over night rest stop for us. We were heading back to Georgia.
The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The hosts were great to work with and the access to the interstate is crazy easy.
LegendWe showed up after the office closed, but they had a map out for us to find our spot. It was easy to pull in and hookup our trailer. The sites are really clean, and they take pride in their sites here. There’s a little playground for the kids and dog park for the kids. The sites are goons need some leveling for your trailer, just FYI. You’re also really close to the highway so you get a good amount of noise early in the morning.
RangerThis place is an overnight rest stop at best, and worse. The staff is nice and accommodating. There isn’t much to accommodate. It is located in a sketchy little town that has its best days a while back.
TravelerStopped for the night , the campgrounds were very muddy from a rain storm so be prepared to take your shoes off b4 entering your r v if you go during the rainy season. There was no internet,so trying to schedule my next stop did not go well.oh they did say there was internet,very scetchy. The staff was very nice.
