Perched atop a forested mountain, Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout Tower offers visitors a unique lodging experience in Medicine Bow National Forest in southcentral Wyoming. The original fire lookout was constructed during the summer of 1938 by workers employed through the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). After thirty years of use, it was replaced with a taller, more structurally sound tower. The new 55-foot tall tower was used as a fire lookout until the 1990s when it was renovated and opened to the public for overnight rental in 1997.The lookout is typically open from June through September. Guests can drive directly to the lookout most of the season. Several amenities are provided, but guests should be prepared to pack in some of their own supplies and gear for a comfortable stay.__Please be aware during the month of June snow drifts may prevent you from driving directly to the tower and you may need to pack items in from a longer distance. For more information on conditions please call the Laramie Ranger District Office prior to arivial at 307-745-2300

The lookout is also ideal for guests who simply want to relax and enjoy picnics, campfires and stargazing at night. Rob Roy Reservoir is a six mile drive from the lookout, offering opportunities for fishing, boating and water skiing. Gold panning is a popular activity in Douglas Creek, which is connected to the reservoir.

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.

DO NOT STOP HERE!!!! Save your money for a different rv park.
The Manager, Hope, is in desperate need of customer service training.
The“resort” is a run down old KOA so do yourself a favor and keep driving.
We left early due to poor customer service and horrible accommodations.
(Laramie Rv Resort by Journey)
GuideNothing to write home about...adequate for an overnight. Water, sewer and electric was all we needed. The location is bare of any trees. WiFi was poor
Traveler
Premium sites are spacious with picnic tables and fire pits. Easy access to I 80. Flat site
RangerGood place to stop for the night on the way to Boulder Colorado. We had made our reservation many months before while it was still a KOA. We had picked this location because it was on our route and would allow us to reach Boulder early the next morning. The staff was quite friendly and facilities well maintained. Our site was small but being separated by a short wall was private enough.
TravelerStayed one night, basically to do laundry in a place with a playground to entertain the kids meanwhile. And this place did the job. There is no charm to the location it self. There is no internet connection at all. Be aware that it is no longer associated with KoA but Applewood.
GuideWe stayed at The Laramie KOA in August 2021. This is a FHU RV Park which offers a variety of sites including premium extra large pull-thru sites. We opted to save the added expense of the premium sites and stayed at a regular pull thru-site. These sites are very close together which was difficult to negotiate into with our fifth wheel. The sites are so close together that I had my neighbors sewer hose directly in front of my camp chair between my legs. 😳👎🏻 Next time we will opt for a premium site because this is a very nice, well maintained KOA with an excellent staff. There is a nice dog run here and lots of green space to walk dogs. We were able to receive mail here, also. All in all, we would recommend this park and enjoyed our stay here. If you would like to see videos of this park and others, please check out our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
ScoutI was leery about this KOA after reading some reviews, but after arriving I found it very clean & well taken care of. The internet isn’t the best. The staff is very helpful.

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.
ScoutIf you need convenience it is right off the expressway. It is a bit noisy. But very clean and convenient! Nice staff!!
ScoutGreat stop for 1 night. Had our reservation ready and had no issues. Not somewhere I’d go for long, but nice for a stop along 80!
RangerThis is a clean facility run by friendly staff members. It’s well organized and attractive. The interstate traffic is LOUD and the WiFi is hit or miss. Spaces are quite close together. For the price, I can’t say I feel like it was a bargain, but I did appreciate the flexibility of the location and the people.
TravelerGood spot for a quick overnight- close to the highway, gas, and a short 8 minute drive into Laramie for some good local food and drink. Spots are close together like more KOAs but check in is easy and we were offered a spare site to empty the tank on our way out. Would stay again!
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.

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.
GuideState 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.
TravelerIt was a really nice and really clean campground we stayed in and everyone was very helpful getting us where we needed to be
GuideThis is our first night stop point. Campground is usually pretty full and a lot of rather permanent residents. Close to freeway and a lot of freeway noise at night. Not the most modern restrooms and could be cleaner. But serviceable.
ScoutA great place to stay for one night. The customer service was good and our site was level and clean. The WiFi was not good which is the reason for the lack of stars. We are traveling all day and in remote places so we like to be able to check in with our loved ones when we get to camp.
LegendGood place to stop for the night on the way to someplace else. Pretty easy after-hours check-in. Tent area was empty. For $34 a night I would expect a picnic table. Close to the highway for easy access but also steady low roar of trucks. Clean and well maintained.
GuideNeeded a stop for the night and this sufficed. The check in without a reservation was smooth and painless. The sites look newly rocked and clean. Our site was full hookup which was convenient. Firepits provided and they looked brand new. Location is off the interstate and you can hear it all night. There is literally not a drop Of shade - i would expect it would be hot as hell in the middle of the rock during the day. Fine for a night - nothing more.
RangerOlder clean campground, Laramie is a great small town w all amenities, the campground provides necessities and a place to stay for night, would not want to stay more than a night, its clean. They are adding new section, it is next to two mobile home parks and freeway. Wifi was pathetic.
ScoutChecked in early evening but could still see the Snake River from our lot. Plenty of people out enjoying the evening stroll to the river & fishing. Extremely clean restrooms and bathhouse, always a plus! Beautiful sunrise! Staff was very helpful in accommodating our 65 ft set up!
GuideOver nice Guest services— dog run, small fitness center, shop, playground, laundry, Wi-fi, cable. Those running the KOA - were very helpful and pleasant. Sites are pretty small- our slide hung over the picnic table and if someone was next to us with slides might have been very tight. Little noisy by the interstate but we had one of the sites next to it. Doesn’t bother me and was to be expected. Overall good place to just stop for the night.
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.
