Besides the sound of the river meandering north, this is a very peaceful campground. There is flyfishing for trout here. There is also a take out for the North Platte River, for canoers or kayakers. A control crest was put in below the dugway so boaters are advised to start their trips upstream. This is a free site with 5 campsites (1 pull-through, 4 spurs), group site, vault toilet, day use parking, picnic tables, fire rings/grills, and parking spur. The main attraction is the North Platte River for fishing and floating. No horses are allowed in the campground.

At an elevation of 10,800 feet, Sugarloaf is the highest elevation campground that the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest has to offer and it is one of the highest elevation campgrounds in the United States. The sites at this location offer a breathtaking panorama of the Snowy Range which peaks out at 12,000 feet. There is little or no shade in the campground due to elevation, the pine beetle infestation, and the removal of hazard trees. This campground will have a mix of reservation sites and first-come, first-served sites for the 2024 season. If you are not reserving your site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by cash or check once you are at the campground.
Sugarloaf Campground is near a variety of hiking trails and two crystal clear snow-melt lakes: Libby and Lewis Lakes. Non-motorized craft can be used on these lakes but you must carry your boat to the water's edge. Both Libby and Lewis lakes contain brook trout and splake (a hybrid of a male brook trout and female lake trout). Lewis Lake is annually stocked by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD). Use of live-bait fish is prohibited in lakes and streams within the Forest. Three popular trailheads originate in this area that range in difficulty level to accomadate visitor's interests. Savage Run Wilderness and Platte River Wilderness are nearby to the south for visitors that desire a more remote setting.
The campground sits on a spruce and fir-lined hillside in the midst of a fisherman's paradise of 102 recreational lakes.

Stopped for the night on my way to South Dakota. The park is just spots and gravel (nothing great - reason for 4 stars), but the bathrooms, showers, and laundry room are great! Very clean. Free WiFi.

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

$10; $5 with senior/interagency pass. Camped in site 8 on Oct 12, 2024; in my opinion, this is the best site. Short walk to his/hers vault toilets in day use area. Trash cans nearby. Site was level & accommodated my van. Area for setting up tent. Hammock camping possible. We'll water pump located near entrance to campground next to site #2. Picnic table and metal firering on site. Overall, the campsite was clean. Good separation between sites. Some trees and foliage between sites. Site was mostly shaded. Encampment River was behind the site. Hiking trail nearby. Liked this campground. I would stay here again. Campground was well maintained, and the vault toilet was clean and stocked. Very weak T-Mobile and AT&T service.
Guide
arrived late afternoon, loads of space at the end of summer.
Beautiful sites amongst the aspen, cold but high.
Great toilets and super clean site
Scout
Very few other boondockers, and well dispersed. Very quiet with minimal traffic.
Traveler
Absolutely beautiful small BLM Camping right on the River Platt. We pulled our fifth wheel toy hauler with zero issues and parked in a large dirt pad.
ScoutThe campground itself was fine for an overnight stay. Trailers not as close together as some right-off-the-highway campgrounds. But they refused to honor my discount program that was advertised as accepted. The woman at the desk said she couldn’t apply the discount because I didn’t”use” it when I booked online. Most campgrounds adjust fees when you arrive & show proof . Very disappointing. Watch out when you book.
Guide
Amazing location. Good trails. Water and clean toilets. First come first serve. Got there around 1 pm and around 6 out of the 16 spots still available. Filled up fast throughout the evening. Got below 30 degrees at night so come prepared!
GuideNice small campground. The Columbine loop had lots of trees that provided privacy from other sites but the campground wasn’t full. Campground hosts were super nice and friendly. Clean bathrooms and water is up and running.

Saratoga 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.
Guide
Great spot super close to the river. Lots of dispersed camping just outside this established campground. Went on a Friday night, it was pretty busy but found one of the last first come first serve spots around 6 pm. Spots are a pretty good distance apart.
RangerWe were surprised how nice and peaceful it was. We definitely love it. Just drive in and pick out a site then pay at the deposit box.

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 .
RangerStopped 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.
RangerStayed here for a night on the way back through, left at around twelve and went to another site further down the road. You can only park in the two little parking areas when you first pull in.
TravelerIt was a nice park. But it got so windy it scared me a little bit. I did not unhitch or use the facilities at all. But it was easy to pull in and out. The office was nice and the employee professional.
GuideWe really enjoyed our stay. Bathrooms were vaulted, fine, whatever. Spots were fine, nice and quiet. Cash only. No dump station, but there’s one located just across the highway with a $5 credit card fee.
Traveler
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.
GuideGreat 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.
Traveler
The Dutch Hill Campground is north of the State Park Visitors Center on highway 62 in case you get there after hours as we did. We stayed at site 140 in the Wheeler loop. It was level and quiet with a tent pad a short distance away and a separate pad with a fire ring and picnic table. Bring a change of clothes as the mornings and evenings are chilly in June with warm short pant days. We had thunderstorms blow through most every day with 30+ mph winds possible. There is a store at the lake with basic provisions and there are restaurants and food stores down the road from the lake.

Lots of good spots, gorgeous sunset and a nice area. But holy cannoli were the mosquitoes dense.

The Bow River area has some beautiful scenery with rivers, trees, meadows, wild flowers, and wildlife. The forest service road into the campground is in great shape, and although it's a little rocky, there are no pot holes or rutted terrain. We made reservations for 3 nights, but only stayed 2, primarily because of a serious mosquito infestation. But that's nature and if you want to be in it, you have to be prepared for nature's unexpected turns. Just beware and prepared if you're visiting in June.
The forest along the dirt roads are obviously big logging areas with clearcut swaths (no selective cutting) and grounds littered with slash. These areas are unsightly and make you wonder what kind of forest service management is being observed. It appears to be about satisfying a lumber industry instead of preserving the health and beauty of our national forests.
What we weren't prepared for was the obvious neglect of the campground itself with seemingly little to no supervision or maintenance. We reserved and paid in advance for two campground sites at Bow River for ourselves and another couple. We arrived to find no posting of any reserved signs at either site. Luckily, there were few people there when we arrived so our sites were open and available to us. We're still wondering what we could have done if our sites had already been occupied by other campers.
We also quickly discovered that no water could be collected from the handpump. Thankfully, we brought some water with us, but our friends had none so we had to be very frugal about our use of the little water we shared. We also gave one kettle of water to 4 young men who arrived with no water at all. They were forced to leave the next morning because of it. I still have not been able to find anything on rec.gov warning people that the campground has no drinking water available. This is irresponsible and, at the very least, creates an inconvenience/hardship for those who are paying to stay there. There is an assumption that the information being provided and the services being sold are accurate. People arriving at this campground have traveled at least 19 miles on a dirt road with no facilities to get there. Are they just supposed to leave again and travel that same distance out if they have no water with them?
Finally, the bathrooms were quite run down and dirty. The pits themselves seemed as though they had been cleaned out, but the doors were rotting and the floors were littered with paper and covered with dirt.
We never saw any campground host, supervisor, manager, or employee of any kind. We did meet one man who circled the campground once, told us he was the campground host, and said he was looking at the sites for the first time. He was camped somewhere else and was told that his job was to drive to Bow River to colect any registration envelopes that might be in the iron collection box that was old and partially hidden behind some bushes, making it hard to locate. There also was no sign on the box.
The website claims "Open for 2024 Season!," "Tent camping, Camping trailer, Picnic tables, Toilets, Drinking water, Parking."
The bottom line is that this campground is sadly neglected. Too bad the forest service isn't paying attention.
TravelerPulled into this campsite without any expectations and was blown away by the beauty. Sunsets are stunning at this beautiful canyon-like setting, with a lovely river flowing right beside. Campsites are fairly spaced apart, with a single vault toilet and water source near the middle of the grounds. Sites also have fire pits and picnic tables. No lights and very little noise. Great place for stargazing and enjoying the views, and close to Sinclair where you can refuel or grab food. I hope I can camp here again someday!
Guide
One mile of gravel road to the campground. All sites are gravel, mostly level. We had a site right on the point. Beautiful views of the lake and the Seminole mountains. The other side of the campground has a shallow bay with sand, sort of. It is great for kids to swim but bring shade. One day, we had no wind until dinner time. Another day, we had wind all day. Not good for awnings or if you don't secure your tent down. Spotty T-mobile service. But usable. You must make reservations online. The kiosk is for day use payments only.
GuideEasy to find. Roads in area great, but be careful driving in on paved road big dips and a speed limit of 50mph can mess your rig up! I seen a boat docking site to the left before camping. Two Loops that multiple car tents could post up, do not know if that’s allowed but seen while visiting. They there is parking and tables for 3 tent sites or truck campers. Then 5-ish sites for RV and trailers. I was in the last one and loved it. Right on river lots of chip munks! Hawks spotted of you have small dogs.
Guide
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.
GuideYou can stay up to 14 days. Right next to the river. No cell service (verizon) but starlink worked well
