Sanger Public Access Area on North Platte River

Fishing and bird watching draw campers to this dispersed site along the North Platte River, where canyon walls rise above the water and fire rings mark informal spots in the open terrain. The access road off WY-130 is a good dirt road suitable for mid-size trailers or smaller, though a secondary spur road runs rockier and leads to additional sites that sit closer to the river and tend to attract tent campers. Two pit toilets are on-site. No water hookups or potable water are available, so campers need to bring their own supply.

The layout here is worth understanding before arrival. The first spots visible from the main road accommodate larger rigs, while the rougher side road opens up more private riverside sites with fire rings. Jensen S. notes "beautiful views of canyon walls" from those lower sites. Mosquitoes can be significant in summer, and the open terrain provides little shelter during afternoon thunderstorms, so campers should plan accordingly.

Several dispersed sites along this stretch of the North Platte give anglers and paddlers a direct staging point for the river. Nearby, Pick Bridge Road and Sanger Access Area, Dispersed Camping provide comparable options along the same corridor. Campers who want a base for exploring camping near Saratoga will find this access area works well for self-sufficient overnight stays. It suits anglers, tent campers, and anyone comfortable with a rougher road and no developed amenities.
