Closed For the Season

This campground is closed for the season from October 16, 2023 through May 24, 2024.

About

USDA Forest Service

Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland

The campground is comprised of 17 campsites in a single tear-drop loop. Some sites are nestled in a dense grove of aspen, fir and spruce, others are in a grassy meadow. The interior road is narrow and rough in places. The campground is convenient to a network of challenging mountain bike trails. There are nearby corrals. Tie City was named for the railroad men who cut the ties for the Union Pacific Railroad from this forest. The South Fork of Lodgepole Creek runs close to the Tie City Campground and across the 719 road from Yellow Pine, which has good brook trout fishing.

Close to trails

This is a great little campground situated right within the Happy Jack trail system. It used to be all FCFS which was great, but now some are reservable. There are 3 sites that are always FCFS now. Lovely pine forest surrounds with great recreation opportunities. You do hear a little bit of road noise from the highway which is a little suprising.

Great spot with lots of awesome hiking and bike trails

For $10 a night it’s hard to beat. There is a huge system of bike trails you can ride on. The campsite has vault toilets and a hand pump for water, but no dump stations or hose connections for your rv. The roads are super tight and have large channels that water has cut through. Big rigs might have issues.

Surrounded in Aspen & Mountains

What a great campground. Very rustic with each site having its own fore ring and table. There were plenty of flat areas for trailers but I would argue that all sites are perfect for tent camping. It appears to be a great place for those who are into mountain biking as I felt I was the odd man out since nearly everyone had one and was riding.  I really enjoyed the peace and quiet and view of the stars!

I would most certainly visit this campground again. Close to the I-80 which makes it convenient.
