A moose visiting camp each night is not unusual at Nash Fork, a US Forest Service campground set within camping near Medicine Bow National Forest at roughly 10,000 feet outside Centennial, Wyoming. The campground runs July 1 through September 10, costs $20 per night, and accommodates RVs up to 48 feet, though access is rough and worth confirming before arrival. A small trout stream runs along the east side of the campground, and a trail leads up to a nearby lake. Note that pine bark beetle damage prompted significant tree clearing in past years, leaving stumps and downed wood across much of the interior. Perimeter sites retain more cover. Pit toilets are on-site and reported clean, but there is no potable water. Brooklyn Lake Campground sits about 1.2 miles northwest for campers who want a different setup.

Reservation Info
This campground was decomissioned for 10 years due to us having to clear cut the are because of pine beetle infestation. With a partnership with Common Outdoor Ground, a volunteer group and Forest Service employees were able to clean up the campground and get it in working order. There are 27 sites, all with access to a picnic table, fire ring, metal barbeque grill, and vault toilets. No trash service or potable water. Dogs must be leashed in the campground. The road through the campground is still very soft, and many of the sites aren't accessibile for trailers. Please use caution. The campground still doesn't have many trees, but it is just as beautiful as before. The Nash Fork Creek meanders through the campground. The campground is convenient to the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (State 130).
