    Medicine Bow National Forest Brooklyn Lake Campground

    Very pretty, lots of beetle kill. :(

    Beautiful area of Wyoming. The campground is clean and remote, but busy. There was a lot of beetle kill removal work going on when I was there, but I think that has slowed down some.  Nice trails close by and the lake is lovely.

    Medicine Bow National Forest Brooklyn Lake Campground

    Amazing part of Medicine Bow

    Small site with incredible scenery and stargazing. As if the views weren’t enough, all of the campsites (to my knowledge) are very close to the water. We enjoyed kayaking around the lake and hiking nearby on the CDT. There are vault toilets but not much else...perfect!

    Kortes Reservoir Miracle Mile Dispersed

    Miracle Mile Fishing

    Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water! This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms. Amazing fishing and floating opportunities. Make sure to get all of your shopping needs before heading out, because the closest marina for restocking is about 40 minutes away. There is no cell phone reception. But it's all 100% worth it if fishing is your thing... you'll soon learn why it's called The Miracle Mile.

    great!

    The area is very pretty but can get windy at times. We went on a weekend and still managed to find an area to ourselves to go fishing and bike around.

    Medicine Bow

    So peaceful

    There is a sign at the beginning of the dirt road for high clearance and 4 wheel drive. This is not a suggestion. This spot was beautiful, peaceful and primitive. Pack in and pack out and make sure you have water. We saw two bull elk and a calf play in the valley and drink from the pond as the sun went down. There’s cacti, sage and pretty wildflowers.

    Snow,

    Wonderful gem of a camping area, be aware, snow may persist into July and only altitude acclimatized individuals should sleep here. It is over 10,000 feet, 3100m. Nice views of ponds and mountains from several sites, may or may not have water.
