Pole Mountain Area- Dispersed Campsite, Medicine Bow NF

Love this free location by Eagle Rock in Pole Mountain dispersed camping. A little cooler, more isolated and quiet, decent breezes without being fully exposed, and a massive camping area! The temp was around 91 here when we arrived at the hottest part of the day, but it was close to 99 at the other, more populated dispersed camping in the area. There are some large trees for shade and a really flat spot for our 17' trailer. We have a small and light rig, so we were not worried about the washboard roads, nothing we couldn't handle.

We've camped along the Veadwoo road in the past, but this time decided to try the Pol Mountain area, and I'm glad we did! Tons of site around with plenty of side roads to explore. We started out with no neighbors nearby, but eventually we saw another camp nearby. Still a very peaceful experience. Some decent mountain biking from camp as well, and Curt Gowdy is just a short drive away with amazing mountain biking.

Stayed for 3 nights and each night was very peaceful. Once you’re about 2 miles down the dirt road, that’s when a lot of the sites begin. All sites were very large and loved that they were very well spaced so you weren’t close to neighbors. Definitely a fun area if you have toys for OHV. lots of cows roaming around and chipmunks. Didn’t see much wildlife. Completely dry camping so pack it in and pack it out. There are plenty of trash cans and a potable water spigot at the rest stop 15 min away so no reason to leave trash behind! Amazing stars and sunsets!
