We took a gravel road in from Fort Laramie. The road in is about 10 miles of unpaved gravel, totally fine for my SUV. We drove by cattle crossing the road but they were kind and slowly crossed for us to get by. Once you get to the reservoir, there are many pull offs. We got in around 6pm and the first few sites were full, only had to drive in about 10-15 to find an open spot that worked for us! Was right on the water and only 2 cars drove by the site around 9… other than that, saw no one! Peaceful, quiet, beautiful sunset and sunrise.
Minimal bugs at my specific site but the more trees, the more bugs you have. Very windy as we went to bed around 9 but it was the perfect weather to fall asleep too!
