      6 Saves

      The Laramie Peak area is located in east central Wyoming, stretching from southeast of Casper to west of Wheatland. This portion of the Medicine Bow National Forest is part of the Laramie Range and is dominated by the jagged 10,274 foot crest of Laramie Peak. The Laramie Peak area is managed by the Douglas Ranger District. With nearly 180,000 acres on the Medicine Bow National Forest, the Laramie Peak area offers many public uses and recreation opportunities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, OHV riding, and many others. From I25 at Douglas or Glendo, expect to drive one hour just to get to the National Forest boundary and another half hour to an hour to get where you are headed. Dispersed Camping is allowed on all Forest Service Land in the Laramie Peak Unit, the restrictions are on motor vehicle parking and road access. The Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) identifies what roads are open to the public. From there, you can camp along open roads and trails, parking 1 to 2 car lengths from the road and in selected areas up to 300' from the road (see MVUM) and in either case, you cannot cause habitat damage. After the Campgrounds close (Esterbrook, Friend Park, Curtis Gulch and Campbell Creek), they can be used for dispersed camping. The vault toilet will be open but water and trash services are not available. Please pack in and pack out, limit stays to 14 days and bear in mind that many of the county roads have limited maintenance from November to May.

        Wheatland Reservoir #1 - Public Access Area

        Peaceful

        Plenty of spots around the water. Lots of trees for shade. I spent a restful 2 nights. There are large fish (about a foot long or more) that splash along the shoreline. A few bow fishermen were there to try their luck.

        Nice

        Is a decent place to stay. Downside is that it's a 5 day limit but atleast its free. We stayed during the Labor day weekend and wasn't too bad. Someone even had a personal Helicopter which was cool to watch. Water isn't clear but it was still nice to swim in during the heat.

        Wheatland Reservoir #1 - Public Access Area

        Absolutely beautiful

        I was here last year in late July. The water level is much higher right now so there is less land to camp on, but there are still spots. It is mostly quiet, the reservoir is beautiful and the sun rises and sunsets are gorgeous

        Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access

        Awesome reservoir! Beautiful location. Careful with dogs.

        Free public access camping. Many spots right on the water. Great boat launches. Arrive Thursday or Friday AM to get a decent spot.

        Sites are all boondocking only although access 8 with the boat launch does have a pit toilet.

        If you bring your dog be aware the are has tons of foxtail growing which can be dangerous for dogs.
