Rob Roy Campground

Rob Roy Campground is appreciated for its wooded setting and beautiful lake views. The campground is relatively quiet and restful, especially on weeknights when it tends to be less crowded. The sites are spacious with healthy trees providing good shade at some locations. While the vault toilets are clean and well-maintained, the lack of potable water is noted as a limitation. The campground's peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the reservoir make it appealing despite its basic amenities.

Rob Roy Campground is accessed via gravel roads starting from Albany, Wyoming. The roads can be challenging in certain conditions - they've been known to be snowed in during late spring. Road conditions may vary throughout the season, so a vehicle with decent clearance is recommended. When planning your trip, check current road conditions, especially if visiting early or late in the season when snow might be present.

Rob Roy Reservoir has a very narrow camping season due to its mountain location. The area experiences significant snowfall that can last into late spring, with roads sometimes remaining snowed in through May. Summer offers pleasant temperatures and is the primary season for camping. Fall brings cooler temperatures before winter conditions return. Due to its elevation, expect cool nights even during summer months. Always check weather forecasts before visiting, and prepare for variable mountain conditions regardless of season.

While Rob Roy Campground offers designated camping sites, specific information about dispersed camping options around Rob Roy Reservoir is limited. Typically, national forest areas near reservoirs may permit dispersed camping following standard USFS regulations. If you're interested in dispersed camping, it's advisable to contact the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest office directly to confirm current policies, designated areas, and any seasonal restrictions that may apply.

Rob Roy Campground offers basic facilities including gendered vault toilets that are stocked with toilet paper. The campground does not provide potable water, so visitors must bring their own water for cooking, drinking, and cleaning. There are trash collection services available. The campground features multiple sites, some with lake views and shade from the healthy tree cover. This setup makes the campground more suitable for RVs than tent campers due to the need to bring your own water supply.
