"There is river access very close and they offer a razor ride up jelm mountain and numerous trails to hike on."
"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."
"Very peaceful campground, right by a lake with a nice view. People came and went throughout the day to go fishing at the lake and some with ATVs. "
"The lake is a short walk away, but probably not safe to swim due to what looks like high amounts of HCB. Same goes for fishing."
$40 / night
"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."
$20 / night
"A lot of trees have been cleared near the lake, but there are plenty of Aspen's and new babies growing. Everytime we have gone there there is always room to camp, even on 4th of July."
"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."
"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."
"It’s clearly an area for off-roaders and people with ATVs. Since I got in so late I didn’t make it to the actual coordinates this provides."
"Sites are fairly close together but no one was around on a Sunday and Monday night. We ended up camping not in the campground but in dispersed camping located all around the dunes."
$30 - $81 / night
"All pretty close to water access. Some spots were right on the water too. Super quiet area and everyone seems respectful of noise. Lots of dogs but leashed.
Nice walking area around the lake."
"The lake is amazing and the sites are very spacious. I love the addition of the bear boxes. This campground was found on a whim about 5 years ago and now it’s the one we have to go to every year."
GuideNo host at the camp yet. The forest leading to the campground appears to have experienced a wild fire but the campground itself is green and thriving. The water was not working yet. There are vault toilets and dumpsters. It really is beautiful and peaceful though
TravelerThere are many spots right off the road, all spots are clearly marked, some you can drive into others require a small walk down. Such a beautiful lake that is not too crowded. There are also numerous spots further down road 103 past the lake. Great spot for fishing, paddle boarding and star watching. Will certainly be back
TravelerAt 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.
GuideI have stayed here twice and both times were great. The site is easy to get to (just about a 1/2 a mile down the road), but some of the campsites are definitely better than others. Some of them are set off to the side and are well shaded with fire rings. However, there is additional room to park around the area it is just not as nice. The first time I stayed here I was the only one and the second time I was one of four people. Both times the area remained quite though.
ScoutGreat area for trails, but very little shade in the campgrounds
ScoutWent to this location but the access road as shown on the map is gated off right alongside a private residence. It was VERY evident they do not want people going there by their property. There was access if you walked in but parking is not available immediately along the road. Had to make some quick last minute changes to our plans and snagged a place at a nearby body of water.
TravelerQuick stop on our way to Grand Tetons during the week (Wednesday). Easy access off 80 with plenty of spots!
This is our second time trying to come here. The first time was in July which showed a decent thunderstorm that would not have made a good time with our roof top tent and making food. This second time around we arrived and waited out the light rain for an hour which still turned into a great spot to build camp. Not rain soaked and was able to build a good fire with the already made fire ring.
Definitely want to come back and camp longer to explore more.
TravelerEasy check in , lots of pull pull thru sites, low key , sites about 50 to 100ft away from each other , quite and relaxing
RangerThis was $20/night for camping. You can buy camp permits or day passes at the front entrance. The first group of sites are recommended for bigger rigs and then the lower group of sites are better suited for smaller campers and tent camping.
