Rob Roy Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via gravel roads from Albany, Rob Roy Campground operates from mid-June through October 1 at $20 per night. The US Forest Service facility accommodates RVs up to 30 feet and provides vault toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, though campers must bring their own water. Sites spread throughout the wooded area near the reservoir, with some offering lake views and fire rings.

Heavy ATV traffic uses the area, and a boat ramp provides reservoir access for fishing and kayaking. Campers report spotting deer, chipmunks, and bald eagles, along with mosquitoes during summer months. The campground sees light use on weeknights, keeping facilities clean. For those wanting dispersed options, Laramie Overlook Disperesed Camping sits northeast of the area.

Beautiful wooded reservoir

Large campground near beautiful  lakes with healthy trees.    Many campsites, some with lake view. Weeknight in August was mostly empty.  Some sites shaded.  Very quiet and restful.  No  water but has trash.  Pit toilets clean, probably because campground  is lightly used.  Roads from Albany in better shape that roads from Centennial. Great dispersed camping all around. Great spot for  boating and ATVs.

Prepare for 3 Ws- Water, weather, & wildlife.

This wooded campground has a very narrow season. Gravel roads (starting at Albany) were snowed in 4 miles out in late May 2019, While there are gendered vault toilets (TP stocked), bring your own water for cooking and cleaning. This fact alone makes it better for RVs than tent campers like us. There are loads of sites, well spaced with fire rings and picnic tables. We got rain and small hail on the 3rd weekend in July and it got to 40 F or below overnight. Deer, chipmunks, and a bald eagle were spotted. There were mosquitoes. There is a boat ramp into the reservoir. Heavily ATV traffic. Dog friendly but must be on leash. Gunfire noted early and late across reservoir. With proper prior planning, you will probably have a pleasant experience.

When planning your trip, check current road conditions, especially if visiting early or late in the season when snow might be present.

What is the weather like at Rob Roy Reservoir throughout the year?

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.

Is dispersed camping allowed at Rob Roy Reservoir?

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.
