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.

Nice Rv park at the entrance of Saratoga
Guide
We 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.
ScoutThis wooded campground has a very narrow season. Gravel roads (starting at Albany) were snowed in 4 miles out in late May 2019, While there are gendered vault toilets (TP stocked), bring your own water for cooking and cleaning. This fact alone makes it better for RVs than tent campers like us. There are loads of sites, well spaced with fire rings and picnic tables. We got rain and small hail on the 3rd weekend in July and it got to 40 F or below overnight. Deer, chipmunks, and a bald eagle were spotted. There were mosquitoes. There is a boat ramp into the reservoir. Heavily ATV traffic. Dog friendly but must be on leash. Gunfire noted early and late across reservoir. With proper prior planning, you will probably have a pleasant experience.
Guide
Great camping spot within Medicine Bow National Forest. Some of this area requires a $5 day fee which can be paid online or using an envelop system with cash.
When you first pull onto FS RD 200 you will wind down past many easy to reach sites with 2wd. Small RVs should be fine as well. As you continue on, you will come across multiple splits in the road leading to more sites. If you are going when there is still a lot of snow melt (through late June) I would recommend 4x4 the further back you go.
I personally camped across from the Keystone Reservoir and it included a level site and a nice fire ring.
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.
Guide
Love this campground.
This is a city campground on a beautiful lake! $10/night without hookups and $15 for electric sites. The electric sites are a little close together so we opted for a non-electric site right on the lake front. Campfires allowed. Vault toilets available, but could use a little maintenance. No reservations, first-come first serve. AT&T cell service is strong at the campground.
While you are here, go to Bella’s for the most unexpectedly amazing Italian food and phenomenal wine list. Visit Hobo Hot Springs, the free hot springs in town.
Saratoga is a great small town with really nice people. It seems that masks are optional as we have only seen about 30-40% of people in town wearing them (August ‘20).
Guide
This campsite was pretty awesome, and the views and scenery were beautiful. One of my favorite parts about this campground is that every site does have a view of the lake. My buddies and I came here pretty late in the day, and still got a pretty great spot...with a view of the lake! The cost to stay was only $10 a night, which is well worth it! We stayed here 2 nights, so we just split the $30 cost. We brought our kayaks and stand up paddle boards, and really enjoyed doing this in the lake. We literally just walked a few steps and put our boards and kayaks in the water! The campground was very well kept and clean which we appreciated too. The last couple of miles before getting to the campground are gravel road, and the road is pretty narrow. I would say all vehicles could probably fit down this road, but we did have to get over a few times to let cars coming down get by. They do provide restrooms, and we thought they were pretty well kept and clean. They don't have any electrical hook-ups, which would be a downer for those bringing an RV and wanting the electrical hook-up. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. We saw a few moose and some deer, but we were told/warned that there are black bears and bobcats that have been seen numerous times. We did put all our food in containers and up from the ground for this reason. The campground is in a great location, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and trees. We really enjoyed hanging our hammocks and sitting by the fire at night. We also really enjoyed some great hikes that were nearby. The hikes we did were Sheep Lake Trail and Lost Lake Trail. Both were great hikes that had some pretty awesome views which made the hard hike worth it. We also saw people fishing in the lake, although we didn't do this. Cant wait to come back and hang here again!
GuideSaratoga is about 2 hours away from home for us, so it's a great getaway and we visit all year long. During the summers, we love camping on the lake and at $15/night for electrical hook-ups, it's a great deal for a weekend of fishing and fun on the water. The spots are clean and there is always a place open when we roll in. Make sure to visit the hot springs and have dinner at The Wolf Lodge or a beer and burger at Snowy Mountain Brewery. Headed back there next weekend for the beer festival and chili cook-off.
ScoutThis campground is managed by the city of Saratoga. There is no one on site. When you arrive, pay by filling out one of the forms that in a box attached the the backside of the bathroom. You will need your license plate number and cash, as well as the number of the site you are parked in. I suggest testing the electric before committing to a site. Sites with electric are $15/night. The campground consists of two “tiers” and everything is gravel. The second tier doesn’t have great views, as there is some shrubby foliage in the way. Each site has a picnic table. The boat launch is here but since I am staying in late September it’s been very quiet. Town and the public hot springs are only ~8 minute drive away, but you do feel like you are further outside of town. There are some private homes across the lake. There are no sewer hook ups or potable water, so fill up before you arrive! Overall this is nothing fancy, but it’s quiet and nice to get a remote camping feel while still having electrical.
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.
GuideNice lake, most sites have 30a hookup, no water, no dump. The sites are tight in a gravel lot. No privacy.
20 minutes off I80. Nice overnight, maybe 2 nights.
The town is cute. There's a hot spring "bath."
Scout
We have a 36 ft fifthwheel. The road has washboard and is quite steep in places. The biggest issue was finding a place to turn around. We did find a place to stay but most were already filled with hunting campers that had been brought up and left. I'm guessing hunting season starts next week and they have staked their claim. No sites are level so bring your legos. We work from our camper so cell service was important. T-mobile was dismal, but Verizon was usable with a solid 4G 2bars. The location is beautiful and remote. Lots of trees and the aspen are turning yellow. Probably won't come back again but plan to hike around and enjoy the area while we are here.
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.
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!
TravelerWe loved this place! It was so quiet and peaceful out here. There’s a playground which our little girls loved! Definitely one of the more primitive places if you’re in an RV. It looked like there was potable water available but we didn’t use it. Also we could not locate the dump station so not really sure if there is one. Really affordable. $15 for an electric site. First come/ first serve. They never fill up apparently.
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.
Scout
The area and campground are nice. Right on the River and the sites are relatively level. But damn there were a lot of mosquitoes. I don’t mean like a few dozen or hundreds… I mean millions. It was like a horror movie with them covering the windows of our RV and then sneaking down the Refrigerator ventilation shaft. We are sucked dry. I swear I saw one or two big enough to carry away a full grown grizzly.
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.
Traveler
Great sites, right by the creek. There's a trailhead nearby for Douglas Creek Trail. This is a Wilderness and it is wild. We saw Marmots, Big Horn Sheep, and other wildlife. The mosquitoes were pretty bad everywhere we went in early July. The creeks, mountains, and trees were magnificent. There are fire-rings, but not much dry firewood available. Glad there are a couple outhouses because I thought we might have to dig latrine holes instead. You can bring RVs or Fifth Wheels, but RVs might have some trouble in the mud.
RangerI found this place a few nights ago while in the Medicine Bow National Forest and what a find it was. So beautiful! The location is pretty amazing - right next to a lake, tucked up against the mountains, very quiet and pristine. The campground has all the amenities you'd expect: fire pits, tables, toilets, trash bins, and a water pump (although I couldn't figure out how to get it working). The sites vary in terms of privacy and style - some are closer to one another, others back a bit. Some are out in the open with no trees, others have trees (and I managed to get my hammock hung no problem.) Lots of variety. I say it has almost everything you need because I didn't get any cell service (on Verizon), which for those of us that are mobile workers that like to be able to work while camping can be a deal-breaker.
Nearby are some cool things as well: a trailhead to do some hiking, and a small chapel that is just sitting out in the middle of the wilderness. Very cool little spot to just sit and relax, even if you're not of the faith (god knows I'm not).
It was pretty much empty when I was there, just one other camper in their RV who was the host if I'm not mistaken. This could be because it's toward the end of the season, or perhaps because of the active wildfire that was burning not too far away. Either way, it was perfectly quiet at night, which I love.
Signs mentioned it being an active bear area, so practice all the regular food safety bear stuff - pack it away in your car or up a tree.
Only downside was a burn ban in effect, which given the elevation of the campsite can make for cold nights. You'll need to really bundle up if you can't have a fire to keep you warm. Also, it is now closed for the season, so if you're thinking about coming here in 2020 or early 2021, it won't be open. The rangers came by the next morning to let me know they were locking it down, partly due to the fire, and partly because it was getting close to seasonal closing time anyway.
Really glad I managed to catch this place literally the night before it was shut for the year. I would definitely come back.
Guide
This spot was a very pleasant surprise and quite frankly didn’t think this part of Wyoming would be so pretty! The sites are very well spaced so once you’re parked, you feel completely alone. There was a decent amount of road traffic but that wasn’t bothersome to us. We found a lot of good walking/hiking nearby with the closest being the medicine bow picnic area that we walked to from our site. We drove down nearly to the end of the road and are really glad we did because the sites were really nice. Cell crevice wasn’t great on t-mobile. Loved how close to the highway this spot was but how far away it felt. The gravel road was one of the most well maintained we’ve been on. Great easy access with trailers of just about any size. Would return!
Guide
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 visited in the end of the September, just days before the sites were closing for the season. It was the windiest of evenings, so we rushed through dinner and hopped right into the bed of the truck for bed. So... why was this camping experience so great? We were treated to a gorgeous sunset and once the sun went down, the clearest skies that we've seen in a while. We bundled up and stargazed and felt so lucky to have detoured to this spot.
There are pit toilets and water nearby. We did not have time to explore, but there looked to be a lot of neat trails near the campground. We ran into some free-range cattle while exploring nearby Libby Lake. The campground was very busy for late September, but all other campers were kind and like-minded.
RangerBeautiful campground, fills up fast! Rock road up to the campground! Narrow turns, big rigs not recommended. We pulled an 18-foot trailer and saw only a few spots that would work for us! Highly recommended for a mountain high experience!
ScoutPickaroon is ideal for the tent and small rugged RVs but is used mostly for day use fishing. Tight switchbacks on the final decent into the campground will be a challenge for anything 20+. 4 wheel drive a must if it’s wet.
Most traffic is day use fishermen and is the end of the forest road. Fishing can be good, but the volume of traffic means lots of pressure. The outhouse is old and in need of significant repair (doors won’t close fully) and is under serviced (bring your own tp). No water. Fire rings are old and picnic tables are well used and could use repair.
This seems like an awesome, off the beaten path location to get away - but it seems everyone agrees. I’ve been twice mid week in 2019 and on weekends. All campgrounds were occupied each time. Also, lots of RVs are brought down and left vacant during the week, and the owners just go down on the weekends. Lots of abuse (left for more than 14 days and vacant for more than 24 hours) of Forest service rules by those who frequent Pickaroon.
Scout
This is a nice camp spot with good views. There’s a hiking/biking trail next to it. It has a toilet available. Many RVs and campers pulled in. The sites are fairly close together so that’s the reason for 4 stars. Everyone was very quiet when we were here. Many middle sites still available Saturday night (closer together). We prefer more secluded/dispersed but Vedauwoo was full and we were running out of daylight.
GuideI arrived late to this campground but just in time for sunset. The tent sites on are the lake which is beautiful but arriving at sunset let me meet all the bugs of the evening. They weren't mosquitoes, I didn't get but they were out by the hundreds. The RVs are close to the tents so it was bit noisy. no tent pads
