Quiet In The Woods
Loads of sites along the FS roads out here, you don’t have to look hard, easier with more ground clearance

Solitude and crisp Fall Mornings
Very few other boondockers, and well dispersed. Very quiet with minimal traffic.
Bruce D.ScoutSanger Public Access Area on North Platte River
Great Spot!
A little way off of WY-130 on a good dirt road. Good for up to mid-size trailers or smaller. Scattered informal sites, no water or hookups, two pit toilets. Signs indicate that camping is OK. Beautiful location on the North Platte River.

North Platte River Treasure Island - Public Access Area
no frills, a great boondock for the night
A dirt road about 1.25 miles leading to a boat ramp, with parking for cars/ trailers. There is a bridge with a 12ton limit per vehicle. more allowed if you are towing. peaceful and quiet at night with a very nice trail and bridge over the river . This is not really a campsite, just a nice free place to spend the night and then move on, but you can stay up to 5 days. had dirty bathrooms, no toilet paper.

Oil Road to the Mines Dispersed Site
Mostly a mud parking lot
It will do in a crunch but it is pretty much a muddy patch of dirt off the road.

Roadtrip Pit Stop
Just what we needed driving from the Tetons back to Denver. It was easy to find, was right on the route, and was far enough from the highway that traffic was just gentle light noise. Felt very safe! When you turn off you’ll see a sign that says “Mineral Road X” and the coordinates on this listing took us right to a large, gravel/dirt patch. Plenty of room to camp! I enjoyed a night of cowboy camping under the stars. There were quite a few mosquitoes though! Bring your bug spray!

North Platte River Treasure Island - Public Access Area
Peaceful and quiet
Clearly marked directing you to the location. Bumpy dirt road until you reach the lot. It’s a parking lot camping location. Clearly marked camping area designated (5 days max). Clean, quiet, will stay again.

Secluded and quiet
Good spot . Road was very iffy for my 2wd sedan, but I made it. Perfect on the way in or out of medicine bow.

Forest Service Road 330C
Great stay
Stayed one night at the coordinates of camper 1 . Had a great time with my dog, very close to medicine bow, and awesome views of the river. Heard no cars throughout the night, there were three other campers I believe .

Evans Creek Dispersed
Quiet and pretty spot.
Stopped in late, made it fine with 2w low clearance, I stayed at the first spot, I’m not sure how many there were. Light traffic throughout the night, but overall peaceful stay.

The perfect wind
Lovely location with secluded spots. The stars and view were awesome and the wind blew just right all night.

Miller Lake dispersed
Peaceful and not very crowded when i went
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.
During the night there was only one other group of campers but its a fairly large campground with plenty of spots so they were far away. The total amount of offroading is ~3 miles as most of the drive is paved road. The dirt road is well taken care of and almost any car could make it. This area seemed to be part of a wildfire as there are many trees cut down that have scorch marks. The lake is relatively small but theres another body of water just across the far end. I didnt venture over there but youre able to see it across the lake.

Riverside camp spot
I had a rough time at this campsite, but I don’t want to discount it entirely. There were tons of mosquitoes. My spot was out in the open so when thunderstorms rolled through I opted to sleep in my car. There was a couple different spots, mine was away from some of the seemingly main spots. Beautiful riverside
slowicagtGuideFS RD 103 Dispersed
FS Rd 103 and FS Rd 200
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.

Very easy dispersed campsite on the river.
Such a tranquil setting, we had the whole place to ourselves. About 3 miles off the beaten path , through the T&A Ranch. We will return.

Foote Public Access Area Dispersed
Quiet spot
Stopped here on my way through. Got here around 3pm only 2 other people. Only a few spots are larger for 5th wheels etc. road was pretty bumpy coming down, you pass a few farms and a lot of private property which can be confusing. Boat launch doesn’t allow camping, camping is right around the bend. Right next to the river and absolutely beautiful. NO OPEN FIRES. Close to houses, secluded but not entirely out in nature by yourself. Would definitely camp again! Easy to find, good Verizon cell reception. Quiet spot.

Robbers Gulch Road
Quiet and Pretty
The coordinates get you here but there is nothing at the coordinates. You have to drive just a short distance further to find a spot. It is super quiet and very pretty. 4 bars Verizon.
GeorgeTravelerRobbers Gulch Road
Quiet less than a mile from highway
A good spot to find. No services. No cell. Just a couple of spots but no one else around the 1st of October. A traveler's overnight spot

White Rock Canyon Dispersed Site
Not great for large rigs... but doable.
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.

Forest Road 330-C - Medicine Bow Snowy Range
We found a great spot right next to the river on forest road 330C near North Fork Campground. The area was fairly busy on Labor Day weekend but we were basically isolated in this spot. One family was camping a little further up the road, but we had zero traffic on our road and the spot was beautiful. We were nestled up against the Little Laramie River which was awesome. We did explore the area a little and found numerous dispersed camping spots in/around the area but none as nice as the spot that we settled on. The exact coordinates are:

Elk River Dispersed
Great for drive in/hike in
DONT FORGET TO VISIT CLARK STORE, its very close
drove here in toyota prius. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the dispersed camping where it forks into two roads to access parking spots. The forest service road was in amazing condition to access it.
I decided to hike up ontop a large rock formation because i wanted the killer views. Just enough dirt up there to pitch a tent.
There is dispersed camping along the river where a lot of rv’s were pitched up. I didnt want to be near any of them cause im tent camping

Nice dispersed campground
Nice isolated spot in the National Forest, 5 mi from the main highway. Nice view with few fire rings. No one was around.

Laramie Overlook Disperesed Camping
Gorgeous spot of birch and bugs
A truly scenic spot where I saw that people were able to pull up an RV. 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. Don’t miss the turn into the camp circle, you’ll drive yourself up the mountain which is not very car friendly. Lastly there were swarms of mosquitoes who were out with vengeance, I managed to keep them at bay with few bites but don’t come Ill prepared to deal with skeeters

Pleasant spot next to farm
It was a nice area next to the river. Some tall grass but that wasn’t much a bother. I had no issues with mosquitoes. There are ground toilets, I do recommend packing in your own toilet paper because there was none while I was there. Several other people were camping nearby with no problems. It is next to a farm, which meant various wild and farm animal noises all night which kept me on my toes.
Video is of some of the noises going on throughout the night

very grown up with weeds
this was our second choice for a camp site, our 1st was the bridge upstream, and it was so grown up with weed there was no place to put a tent
