Tucked within the towering pines and aspens of the Medicine Bow National Forest, Bottle Creek Campground offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in Wyoming's rugged natural beauty.

Its location at an elevation of 8,800 feet ensures cool summer days and brisk evenings, complemented by the soothing sounds of Bottle Creek nearby.

The campground features 16 small campsites suited for tents or trailers under 16 feet, equipped with picnic tables, fire grates, and drinking water.
